Tube TV Fan

I love my tube TV. That's right, I bought a brand new television and I did not get plasma, LCD, DLP, LCoS, or any other acronym laden television.

My new tube TV has a very now black and silver finish that makes a pretty bold statement in my living room. It's slimmer than an older model tube television by several inches. Now I will admit my new entertainment device is a bit heavier than its younger counterparts, but since I don't go about moving my television except maybe once or twice in its lifetime I really don't care.

My new tube television is of a newer generation; this is not my daddy's TV. The flat screen is further evidence of that. I don't get glare and it looks modern too.

But its old technology you say. Yes, but translated that means durable and dependable as well as more affordable to buy and repair. For me, that's a great trait to have. Now I don't have all the statistics on this but I can buy a new tube television for less than it cost my neighbor to replace the bulb on his newer technology LCD. And yes, my new tube television is ready to move into the future with HDTV so who cares about "older technology"?

Now when it comes to the picture I know you think getting a tube television is at the low end of the food chain. Forget that take a look at these things. If you have a flat screen with no glare, a good television signal like cable or satellite, then tube television really can't be beat when viewing standard definition.

Period Newer technology screens tend to accentuate any imperfections creating an image that is actually less sharp than that viewed on a tube television. My blacks are deeper creating vivid images and I never have any blurring during fast action scenes.

So was it sentiment for an old technology, ignorance of newer options, or something else that made me choose tube television? Simply put I wanted a great picture, an updated look, several hundred extra dollars in my pocket, and the ability to view digital television in the future so tube television was an excellent choice for me.
