I,m looking to buy a hd tv ,crt type 32inch tv or larger that has a vga or hdmi connector,with 2 scarts.Can i buy a new or secondhand hd ready tv with crt in ireland,or dublin area?I want a crt type to watch standard tv, but i also wanna be able to connect a xbox 360 or pc for gaming at 720 hd resolution.I mean i dont need 1080 resolution.I,D prefer crt type for watching standard tv signals, ie i dont care about flat screens .I have space for a large crt,is there any shops that sell crts with hdmi,or vga connectors?ANY place that might have secondhand hd tvs ,any suggestions are welcome.

You should really do some research yourself before looking for someone else to do it all.

I,ll look around shops,its just i get the impression shops are selling lcd,or plasma,or crt tvs.Theres probably a shop in dublin that sells secondhand tvs ,that might have hidef 720 crt type tvs in stock, as alot of people are upgrading to lcd or flatscreen,ill probably wind up getting a 32inch crt for the moment as i cant afford a xbox 360,so i dont need hidef tv at the moment.It would be handy to have a tv with a vga or dvi input for playing games from my pc.I believe if you dont have skymovies hd a crt hidef is a good option in regard to picture quality ,cos most people watch dvds or ntl tv in standard pal ,even if they have an xbox 360.

Samsung have a range of HD CRTS called "slimfits"

They are available in 26" and 32" sizes in most Power City stores.

They can output 720p, and 1080i and have hdmi, and all the usual. (twin scarts, composite, component, etc...)

i,m looking round ,so far i think,large lcd tvs r great 4 pc,animation,cartoons cgi, games consoles, the quality of standard broadcast ,tv on them is mediocre at best .Even if i was rich, id still buy a crt tv,32inch ,with HD READY capabilitys.I would not recommend a flat screen lcd ,to anyone ,unless you have broadband,an xbox360,and a skytv HD SUBSCRIPTION. looking at lcd tv,in 480, it looks like a 2x cdrom game movie clip,running on a 486 pc from the 80,s.The plasma tvs look much better ,regarding display of normal tv pictures.i,ve seen a few hdcrt tvs ,around 1000euro .i notice there are some cheaper tvs, 800 ,they dont have hdmi,or dvi, just have a HD COMPATIBLE ,sticker on the case,whatever that means, i think it means they will not play hdcp content,and they are 720 resolution.

if you look in the expert catalogue they have a samsung 32" slim fit tv for €699. it says it has a hdmi input and its hd ready.
