Are they going to completely stop making tube TVs?

Actually Sony is releasing a new 34" XBR CRT in the next few months. The current Sony XBR CRT has one of the best pictures of any HDTV, so I say it will be around for quite a while to come.
 
I would think so. I can barely find a CRT monitor these days in B&M stores.

edit: monitors are different from tv's i guess... but i stick by the idea that crt monitors are on their way out !
 
They only go to 34" widescreen in CRT's because the glass gets too heavy after that. Mitsubishi used to make a 40" CRT, but stopped after it was found to be too impractical to move (the glass alone weighed nearly 200lbs!).
 

They will be making tube TVs for many years to come.

They are heavy, and the technology behind them is very old. Yet oddly, there is nothing out there on the market that can match their overall picture quality.

I'd like to point out that tube TVs suffer from poor resolution (you can't get HD resolution on a tube TV) and nearly every other display technology out there trumps it in picture quality.
 
I hope they do... only because I think they need to start pushing new technology...

The more flat panels there are out there, the lower it will drive the price down and everyone can switch.
 
The problem is that the best plasmas still fall a little short of the best CRTs in picture quality, if you want a 30-34 inch screen and dont mind the weight crt is the way to go

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me my 1800x1200 Sony Multiscan CRT ain't capable of displaying 720 lines of resolution!?!?!?!?!

Sorry, Spidey... that's just not true. In fact, CRTs are able to display more resolution than just about any other display device-- more than plasma, DLPs, and most LCDs.

Wow I missed that one, I think Spidey has to receive my idiot post of the day award!

Maybe someone should explain to Spidey what CRT stands for.

Maybe somebody should through up a HD resolution pattern with a generator on a tube tv and tell us what you see.
