biggest 4:3 hdtv tube tv I can find. Any suggestions?
« on: September 17, 2006, 09:29:52 pm »
Im looking for a 27" or larger 4:3 aspect ratio hdtv. And I want a glass tube with a flat screen. Is anyone still making these if so does anyone have any recomendation on what model are what I should be looking for. I plan on hooking this up to a dreamcast and xbox through vga (the tv must have a vga port)
I don't know if you know this but I'm sort of a big deal. I own many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Many arcade monitors can do 1080i (some can do 720p, as well).  Some newer ones are available with flat screens.  They'll have RGB/VGA inputs, but nothing else.  Could be quite an attractive solution, depending on what you want to use it for.  Arcade monitors tend to be reasonably competitively priced with similar HDTV offerings, but are always 4:3, while most HDTVs are going to be 16:9.

Of course, the dreamcast isn't HD (it's just progressive scan 525 line, aka "EDTV").

Sony was making a 40" XBR recently.  It was abig sucker.  Over 300 lbs, I think.  You might want to look into it.
