Not closeouts.  Tons of them.  Sure, no named brands but they look good.  Could I see the difference between the no name and the $2200 Phillips next to it?  Yes, but if seen in different rooms most folks couldn't tell the difference.  No HDTV tuner, but maybe that's next.  Costs are based on the square inch.  When 15" LCD monitors are $250 then 30" TV's for a $1000 make sense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ccweems@yahoo.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung SlimFit TXR3079WH 30-inch HDTV CRT]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/24/samsung-slimfit-txr3079wh-30-inch-hdtv-crt/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/24/samsung-slimfit-txr3079wh-30-inch-hdtv-crt/</guid><description><![CDATA[$850 after tax for my 32" Sony HDTV CRT.

This TV would look much better in a standard signal than any other TV. So why would someone want to buy an LCD, plasma, DLP,  that don't last long enough, need more maintenance, are way more expensive, and in some cases dont take advantage of their high-def capabilities (if you have comcast), when they can get one like this that looks good in standard signal and in HD signal.
