New TV

John -
This sounds a rude intrusive question - but why did you decide to swap your TV.

Valid answers range from - I fancied a larger one, to the previous TV was failing to give a clear picture (ie broken)

Why do I ask - perhaps I am looking for a justification to swap the TV as well <g>

Derek,
My current TV is a 7 year old Sony KV28FX60, which is a widescreen Wega CRT. It's certainly not broken, in fact I'd say the sound and picture are as good as the day I bought it and I intend to give it away to my brother in law. When I bought the TV, I wanted a 32" inch, but it was too big for the room (width and depth). Since then I have moved house, have slightly more space and wanted a larger screen. Buying a flat panel that I can hang on the wall has also allowed me to rearrange the room slightly and fit in a new pair of speakers (Neat Motive 1). I also wanted a high definition TV in anticipation of enjoying of enjoying the World cup in high definition (the Sky service is imminent). But really, I suppose, it just comes down to I want one and I can afford it!

Leaving aside arguments about having inactive loudspeakers in the listening room, I guess that the effect of a flat panel is negligible when place between the hi-fi loudspeakers. In mind that is all the excuse needed when replacing a big stonking CRT.

Well done John on finding a superb TV. Hope the installation goes well

Thanks - and a very valid reason if I may say so

I have the 32inch Sony Wega from about the same timescale - ie just before digital Widescreen broadcasts

but I do not have the incentive of going High Definition for the World Cup to swap the box.
