CRT? SRSLY? Cmon now get yourself a decent screen pronto old man.

Sounds like you need to rid yourself from that fear of new technolgy. Seems really funny to me that someone with an old CRT is afraid to by a new TV because of something as frivolous as 3D??? If you haven't been missing HD for the last 5 years, then for sure you won't miss 3D when it comes around. You can get 3D when you widescreen goes busto in 20 years anyway, if you're still around that is :P

I might be biased since I have 7 screens at home though. And that not counting the screens in my mobile devices.
