The HD TV programes here are very good, with 12Mb bit rate the details are
way better than conventional TV. Compression artifacts are not very visible
unless you intentionally look for it.

The problem with CRT is not only low resolution and heavy, the high power
consumption is unacceptable. I believe the bigger one (30" up) will run over
200W while our 50" Panasonic is only 50W in normal mode.

If you think conventional TV has better resolution, try to see if you get
anything come close to these still captures:

The stills are having some JPEG artifacts but they are not obvious in video
mode.

Can I see the quality difference at "normal viewing distance"? Sure! very
obvious, analogue TV quality is no longer acceptable to us, same as DVDs.
May be we have difference standards for "normal viewing distance", here the
broadcast company recommend 3-5x vertical height of your TV screen.

I finally got rid of my 100 pounder CRT 2 years ago.  I had to call my
brother-in-law and his son for help in getting it out the door to his
truck
to take to the junk yard.  No matter how good the picture I don't think
it
could be any better than my 42" Panasonic HDTV.  It has 4 HDMI ports
including an audio return channel so the TV can feed audio back to the
receiver.  It's no flyweight but I can at least move it by myself. A 200
pounder would be out of the question for me.

I'm not too proud to say that we are the proud owners of one of those
expensive 100 pounder CRTs that somebody replaced with a $2000 HDTV.
Works perfectly for us and it didn't cost us a dime. However, we did
spend $10 for the stand from somebody else. Oh, and a chiropractor
adjustment.

The reality is that by the time you get back into a normal viewing
distance, you can't really tell the difference in resolution and
sharpness anyway.

What most people don't understand is that the hyper clean image
quality that we see with HDTV images from cable tv or satellite is
actually a result of having the video compression cranked up so high
that all the detail is erased.
