Finally, a SLIM CRT TV available from Samsung!!

[Qwest]

Samsung Products

I love CRT in comparison to lcd/rptv but they are really bulky. this might be a great solution.

Samsung introduces the new SlimFit? television to the market. At only two-thirds the depth of a conventional flat screen CRT, TX-R3079WH delivers the high brightness, contrast and outstanding picture performance that you demand. This new SlimFit TV not only has a sleek space-saving design but it?s HDTV built-in tuner, progressive scan and 3:2 pull down deliver a crisp, flicker-free picture. You?ll also find a full compliment of connections, 2 auto sensing wideband component inputs, an HDMI input, and 20 watt built-in speakers with BBE audio technology. SlimFit? from Samsung - the final evolution of CRT TV.

Is it light enough to mount on a wall?

i guess i am bent on the AG technology. there is a lingering disbelief in samsung when they pulled a fiasco over "true flat screen" with their Dynaflat lineup.

16 inch depth.... not bad... that's about the average depth of a 19" CRT monitor.

That's the only downside I see to CRT is that they are so huge. I love my 27" HDTV, the picture is awesome, but it's HUGE and HEAVY. Hopefully this will start a new trend.

[KLin]

I've never seen a 16 inch deep 19" CRT. 16 inches is about right for a 17".

While its nice, its still very heavy and isn't that much smaller than a normal CRT.

Image quality should be nice though.

w/ built in HD Tuner! Wonder if that HD tuner has QAM...

NO DVI / HDMI ???

Well I did say 'about', and I just measured my 19" ViewSonic and it's 17.5" deep. My bad.

 

[konakona]

at least most people here agree CRT > LCD image quality wise. let the flamewars begin!

 

[Aharami]

not a bad price at all

I can't wait for Canon's SED panels to be produced. CRT quality at near LCD thickness.

oh and in reply to the op, i wonder how the geometry is on that thing. i think the prob with short neck crts is geometry problems.

the center is not studio series, and i'm pretty sure the mains arent either. i got them a LONG time ago at best buy when i worked there, they still run awesome, but i forget the model numbers. i want a new center speaker though because mine doesn't sound as clear and crisp as I want it to sound, but the rest sounds awesome.

i have the 12" 250W floor firing sub by JBL as well, and thats not in the pic either.
