More thin CRT televisions on the way

Philips Slim CRT

LG.Philips have joined Samsung in the race to bring slim CRT televisions to market. Created to compete with flat screen plasma and LCD televisions, the new televisions are slated to be available sometime in 2005. While they won't be as slim and wall-mountable as their flatscreen brethren, the new thin CRTs will come in at around 16-inches deep. It looks like the LG.Philips model will appear before Samsung's. Expect prices to be fit nicely in that niche: more than standard CRTs, but less than plasmas and LCDs.
