Sony 24" CRT- HD Capable?

[NoStateofMind]

Well my sights have been split here as of late on which kind of display to buy. The choices are the Sony 24" CRT FW-900 and the Westinghouse 37" LCD. I keep flip flopping. But knowing whether the Sony can support 1080P would help make the decision easier. I will be pairing this up with either an XBOX 360/PS3. Is this possible on the Sony CRT? If so, what kind of cable(s) would I need?

Thanks for the help

It will certainly support 1080p, but with HDCP, I'm not sure if your OS will let it display DRM protected content.

Last I heard, the Image constraint token isn't set to be enabled until sometime in 2010. So you'll be good to go with the CRT for at least another 3 something years.

HDCP isn't going to be a problem for a couple years yet since movie studios won't be implementing the standard & the 24 inch Sony will support 1080p as far as I know, however they only have standard VGA & BNC connecters on those moniters.

I suggest you take a look here for a ton of information about this CRT: Hardforums 24 inch CRT thread

I'm tempted to get one to upgrade from my 21" hp1120 FDTrinitron...but too bad the nearest ebay deal is from China and costs about 600bucks.

Anyone currently using this CRT with HD content?
