Depth is definitely a consideration (problem), and LCDs Plasma and the like will always be better in this regard. From a width/height perspective, what is the largest the average user wants/needs/can have? I have yet to meet someone who isn't loaded with room to spare, with more than a 42" TV. CRTs will (just about) be available in these sizes.I can definitely see where you're coming from with CRT giving better pictures. The only problem of course is there potential size. I feel the same way though about sound, mp3 never has and probably never will deliver the quality of a well-maintained record. Once again though, size is the issue.
Remember we all have pokey little houses here in the UK!
