A CRt?  This is 2008, who in their right mind would want a CRT in 2008?

Me. I had a TFT for use with my Amiga, but scandoubled screens looked like crap because the resolution was so far below the screen's native resolution. The scaled image looked awful. Swapped for a CRT and the picture quality was a lot better.

no, that would be 1024Kg :-D :lol:

The shipping company would work it out at 1000Kg per megagram so it costs you more. Everybody else would use 1024Kg per megagram and then complain that the shipping companies aren't being honest about the weight of their packages ;-)

Secondly, what's all this about TFTs not doing SD signals well?

It depends on the TFT screen's native resolution, and how it handles non-native resolutions. The cheap screen I had used 1024x768 as its native resolution. The Amiga's scandoubled output was much lower than this, and the scaling/stretching of the TFT screen made the picture look horrible. Other screens may do a better job, but I wasn't prepared to mess about finding one which would do the job when I knew a CRT would do just fine.

Interesting so how do LCDs produce more heat with half the power?  Do they have some sort of perpetual motion machine in them?

It is perfectly possible to produce more heat with less power if more power is converted to heat in the low powered device than in the high powered device. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case with LCD screens, but to say "do they have a perpetual motion machine" as an argument for them necessarily not giving off more heat than a different device is illogical.
