Yep I agree but unfortunately people seem more interested in how thin the bezels are and if you can wave your hands about and shout at the TV to change channels than if it has massive blobs on the screen, vertical banding and backlight bleed.
That's why I still have my 32" HD crt for general tv and 24" crt monitor for pc gaming! crt still craps on everything else pq wise - it's just a shame they're massive and don't come in large sizes.
