Are there any online uk retailers or places that ship to the uk?

Do any other companies make crt hdtvs? Sorry for asking again but the other thread I made got deleted, for some reason threads more than 1 day old seem to get pruned in this forum, whats up with that? :confused:

The current Samsung HD CRT's suffer from really bad geometry issues.

Like? Ive not seen anything but good customer reviews.

I am referring to the WS32Z409TQ.

The geometry is so bad it would put me off watching it for any length of time, let alone buying one.

Had a look at the Samsug CRT in Currys, not good, it was a bit bendy.So bought the 32 LCD Samsung instead.

Cant you adjust the geometry? According that that thread theres some sort of service menu. If the output was from a pc couldnt you counteract the curved effect by altering the shape of the image the pc outputs?

Sometimes you can just like you can adjust a PC monitor.

However, I am unsure if you definately can on the Samsung.

Service menu's can be a little dodgy and you can end up permananlty rendering the CRT useless.

Id be perfectly happy if they just made a normal size crt so there wouldnt be any problems like this, I mean you already need a stand for this tv so if its a bit bigger it doesnt make a difference, I bet almost everyone who bought one of these bought them for the picture quality over lcds anyway and couldnt care less about the size.
