Found this beautiful 29'' HD-CRT in a used shop near my new apartment for about $100. Displays 720p and 1080i for new stuff, as well as true SD for the old stuff. Absolutely beautiful display, no matter what I'm playing. Tons of inputs as well: 1x Sony AV-Multi (RGB or Component via TV menu) 2x D4 Terminal (Japanese Component) 3x S-Video 4x Composite Video ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  |

Does the screen letterbox HD content? Yes it does. It's a Sony Trinitron KV-29DX550 |

Is that a Laserdisc player, and if so, is it one of the MUSE ones?
I've never been 100% convinced of the standard def LD vs DVD argument... DVD may have a lot of digital artifacts, but SD LD sure as hell had a lot of analog ones...

DVD may have a lot of digital artifacts, but SD LD sure as hell had a lot of analog ones... Yeah, it's a LaserDisc player. It's a rather average player, no MUSE (it was $20). All my LDs were only $2, buying them was actually cheaper then renting the DVDs for a single night.... Quality varies a lot with LD. I have a Star Wars LD from 1985, it looks no better then VHS. But my T2: Special Edition is quite close to DVD quality. I've heard you really need a high-level player to get the most from LD though. On Yahoo Japan, the MUSE players often sell for 80,000yen ($800).  But with a direct LD-DVD comparison, I think DVD usually wins. But a lot of DVD transfers are quite lazy. The unedited Star Wars DVDs are direct LD transfers from the SW Trilogy discs, but they ruined the sound, making the LD's superior. |

I wish I could find big CRTs locally.... not to mention modern ones... my current 28" Philips was really hard to get my hands on and cost ~80USD... and its at least 10 years old... but image quality is extremely great at least |

Probably not, considering Japan is in NTSC (60Hz), and unlike PAL TVs these days which handle both 50 & 60Hz fine, NTSC units generally don't like 50Hz signals.
