Reply #45: Yeah, I love my Sony CRTs.

My desktop monitor is a 24" Sony CRT with a max resolution of 2560x1600. Gaming on the thing is sublime and watching HD movies is even better. Sony really was able to perfect the CRT manufacturing process. Such a shame they don't make them any more. With regard to your HDTVs, if pastels are too bright, you might want to try tweaking your red balance. I find from the store, they often jack it up to accommodate the bright overhead lights. But in order to get closer to the maximum potential of your set, pick up something like this. Just 20 minutes spent calibrating your set can make an incredible difference.
