I just thought I would pass on my experience going from a 33" top of the line 4x3 CRT to a middle of the line full HD (although I don't record full HD stuff) 42" 16x9 TV using the NMT (as that is the only way I hook to our TV's)
I have been holding off for years replacing the main TV (33" CRT) as it was a good size & gave a good picture until a number of months ago when it finally stopped working after measuring the vertical height of the old screen I decided a 37+" would do the job (the old eyes aren't the best these days & having come from 20/20 vision it is hard to take not being able to see/read stuff) but as no one stocks that size now 42" it was...... MAN what a HUGE difference it is to read stuff on, it is really indescribable how much better it is to see/read.....
I would recommend if you are just hanging off replacing the old BIG CRT until it blows up don't wait, start working on the wife & get the old sod replaced as soon as you can afford/convince the Boss (it would make a good second set/back up etc. you know the drill) as the difference is HUGE. (I'm still not convinced the picture is better but seeing it is!)
