See this thread: Anyone have a Sony 32XBR100?A number of us talk about KV-32XBR100 and wonder how well it would perform for LD (imagining it would probably be amazing.) If you caught me about 3 years ago and were within 60 miles or so of me, I probably would have been interested. However, I think I'm done with big heavy CRTs these days.

I'm not sure what I am going to do when my current 200 pound CRT kicks the bucket. Yeah, that's my main reason for abandoning CRT. Just couldn't bring myself to move those around anymore. Especially since the best ones, the Sony WEGAs, are much heavier than regular CRTs. Was sad to take my last CRT, Sony Super Fine Pitch KD-36XS955, to the recycling center, but it had to go. All 250 lbs of it. That, and since blu-ray hit its stride in the last 6 years or so and other companies are stepping up and bringing out a lot of obscure titles that I never thought would receive a proper restoration, I didn't want to compromise that format anymore.

I actually got the one I am currently using for free, because someone was moving and didn't want to have to deal with taking it with them. Normal Blurays shine on HD or HD ready CRTs. For watching movies or playing games CRTs are very pleasant because of contrast refresh rate, colours etc.. Only for UHD 10 bit HDR and 3D Bluray you will defenitely need something else.

If you've got an HD-CRT that can display 1080/23.976PsF natively, you can get some rather fantastic results. Of course it's easy to point at the finest Grade1 CRTs and let them set the bars (though they were extemely expensive) but if anyone knows an consumer HD-CRT set that can display 23.976PsF properly I'd certainly be very interested in checking it out. To me, 3:2 cadence can be a deal breaker depending on other qualities offered by the display though it's nowhere near as visible in 1080i as 480i due to the thinner scanlines but it's still there. Downscaling Blu-Rays to 480i in order to display the signal on a 15KHz CRT can look very sharp indeed but you'll get plenty of moire pretty much all of the time. The lack of macroblocking, CUE and other artifacts is still great however.

Very nice setup forper. forper wrote: It stopped firing up once and I did surgery on it for a week to install a new chip. Are parts that readily available for these?
