HDTV CRT question

What do you guys recommend as an affordable HDTV option. I don't want a flat screen or anything...a CRT will do.. in the under 30'' range.
 
I bought a 30" Sanyo from Wal-Mart for just over $500. Its a very nice TV I think.

Has two component inputs, HDMI, built in digital tuner, and optical output. I forget the exact specs, but they are pretty decent as well.

Here's the specs

132 isn't bad.

My 36" sony was around 210.

Yeah 132 isn't bad at all, especially when you consider Sony makes a 40 inch CRT thats over 300lbs.

My Toshiba 42 inch weighs 130 lbs, but it is rear projection, so no heavy glass. There are new slim line CRT options available out there that should be less deep and a little lighter than traditional CRTs.
 
Yeah, I've seen a 30" slim CRT that has full 1920x1080 resolution, it costs about $1000 though.

I'm probably gonna use the one I have now for a year or two and then upgrade when prices for other TVs have fallen. I'd really like to get one that has full 1920x1080 resolution, but this one works fine for now.
