Also, apparently China is the only country still getting brand new Trinitron TV's, can't you see that we want them too Sony?!

I'm glad CRTs aren't dying out. I think both flat screens and CRTs are great, they have different uses for different consoles and what not. I was a little worried I might not be able to buy and HDTV CRT later in the future.

Glad to hear there is still a great demand for CRT's.

I hope mine outlives me because they are getting scarce around here ...................

Yup they even still get new 16:9 HD FD-Wegas!

Now how would we go about shipping a set over here and making it work with NTSC.....?

We got CRTs around here,
While I love CRTs because they have a great picture and live such a long life

they are heavy and bulky, and one of the things I hate most about them is that they drain my eye sight, i am at -9.5 due to constant CRT use. Since switching to LCD, its been a lot less.
