So far, I haven't been blown away by the plasma and lcd TVs I've seen. Until they can match the PQ of a CRT, they can keep 'em. Some of the 30" widescreen CRTs have a beautiful picture- even when not calibrated perfectly. The Sony set in particular has a gorgeous picture. The main drawback of CRTs though, is of course the limited screen size, and the fact that they're so heavy and deep.
