Seems very good value for the price. Would like to see one on display in a shop, perhaps to compare against an LCD.

Apparently some owners have experienced geometry problems, maybe due to the wide scanning angle of these CRT's. Nothing that couldn't be resolved I expect if you can get into the service mode.

I think that the geometry problems being mentioned are from other models, as I on further research, believe that these are as of yet to hit the stores.

I do however find it strange though, that this set has an analogue tuner only. !

I have the PDF of the owner manual, but it doesn't really give up too much about the spec.
