There isn’t a CRT TV in the world that comes close to the picture quality of a flatscreen—not one; not even close.
I used to think VHS had pretty good picture quality. I played one recently and was appalled at how bad the VHS quality was.
Part of the reason I remembered VHS as being better quality is we played them on a CRT TV. The poor quality of the VHS tape was masked by the poor quality of the CRT.
Honestly, if you are holding on to a CRT TV for the “picture quality”, you’ll fooling yourself.
ill have to disagree- there iws more to picture quality than resolution- as i said- the colors are much better with CRTV when looking from angles- the contrast is also better- , which makes for more immersive viewing, especially on film noir movies, again, when viewed from the side- I’d rather not have washed out colors and contrast than higher resolution- in my opinion- I haven’t seen an lcd yet, that we could afford, that looks great at side viewing angles, and i also don’t car for the ‘stretched out’ look of the wider format- again, these are just personal preferences
