Comments on: Home Depot buys into LCD televisions

Where can you buy a flat-panel TV? Nearly everywhere, including big-box stores and smaller regional retailers.

whatever it takes

to get products out there, increase competition, and reduce prices.

But LCD's and Plasma don't have the picture quality

as HD CRT does.

Thanks but I'll keep my flat panel displays anyway.

Let me know when CRTs come in 60" of pure viewing pleasure. Check out the Sony SXRD offering. It's only one of very few displays offering a native resolution of 1920x1080.

CRTs are great if you need an alternate heating source, you just love a heavy television, don't care to wall mount your TV and have a small room. My two 42" plasmas, 26" LCD and 60" SXRD set look phenomenal and will never look back to CRT. My movies never looked as good now as compared to my old and now extinct from my household CRTs. Bring on the flat panel revolution and it will be televised.

Yeah, if you have a forklift license...

Sure, big CRTs are great if you want a TV the same size and weight as a Volkswagen. Not for us poor slobs who live on the upper floor of an apartment!

True

But they are better than the old rear projection style HD TVs, and CRTs don't come in sizes larger than 36", because even the new slimline ones are still much too heavy and bulky to move around.

I agree though, that there doesn't seem much point in wasting money on small flat panel TVs, when even non-hd CRTs provide a better picture.
