Question:
I'm looking to buy a 36" widescreen CRT with a budget of £1500.
At this price, contenders appear to be Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips and Toshiba. I'm leaning towards the Hitachi because of the built in DD/DTS and progressive scan (and I believe it uses a Panasonic tube), but ultimately picture quality is my main priority.
Has anyone seen any comparison tests, or managed to get more than one set together in a dealer's, with a half decent input !!
Any advice appreciated, thanks
I was considering 36" tellies on a similar budget a few months ago, but ended up going for a 43" rear projection model at least partly because they were much slimmer front-to-back - CRT sets that size are colossal!
Also VERY heavy!
My brother got the Hitachi 36" for £850 on qxl - a dealer in Birmingham. I think it was the model 810 so it's slightly older than the current but still has PS.
I'm checking it out this weekend.... Might be tempted to get one myself.
£850 is an absolute bargain price.
Is it new and do you know which dealer it came from?
I can find out.
I think the on-line seller ID was something like "BeQuick", based in Birmingham.
