Which TV do you prefer and why?

I prefer the original CRT television that has been made for years for these reasons

1) Looks nicer.. (I think those flat things look disgusting)
2) Produces a BETTER picture (Always has)

I dont care for HD,i dont care for 3D tv or any of that other crap.. Just a BASIC standard picture has always been fine with me

(Preferably in analogue)

i agree with you up to a point good crt was good i like hd but i dont see the point of say skynews hd who the hell wants to see eamon holmes in hd .My biggest gripe is blu ray had a player for while and have exactly two blu ray movies and most people i know are the same ,dont know anybody with a massive blu ray collection

I much prefer LCD. CRTs are too heavy and no HD, and can't wall mount.

You can actually get HD CRT TV's, but they are a few and far between... Like a Samsung WS32Z409T, Ive never seen one myself, but I imagine the picture quality could be quite stunning....

Anything from a CRT usually is

A bit late, but those Samsungs are worth more than my LCD (HD) TV. (Granted it's a 22" and it's a Wharfedale and it's 768p not 1080p):

Most CRT's tend to go for under £30 on eBay!

I do think that CRT gives a better picture but the flat panels are a lot more practical. I've not seen a large LED, I hear they are better than LCD. A good Analogue picture will usually be better than a broadcast compressed SD Digital picture as the compression is high to accommodate more channels in the available bandwidth.

The last CRT I had was virtually Burgler-proof - it weighed a mighty 75KG and was huge
