The good old cathode-ray tube (CRT) is up against some stiff competition these days. Leading the charge are sexy flat-panel plasma and LCD TVs that can be mounted on the wall like a picture. Following right behind are DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) TVs, a new breed of rear-projection sets that are so slim their tube-based brothers look like cows in comparison. Given this situation, you’d think TV makers would be ready to put the CRT out to pasture, but that’s hardly the case. To judge from Sony’s new KV-34XBR910 HDTV monitor, the tube not only has some life left in it, but it’s being taken to the next level of performance.
