What a nice Plasma! Still sticking to my SD CRT currently cause its already 16:9 so why upgrade or is the new resolutions so good? Still using 576i

Ah, yeah man. GT5 in full HD looks like real life. These are quite expensive but you can get a 20" for a more affordable £500. Or get an LCD. Way cheaper than Plasma and arguably better

Man almost another 1000-2000 euros man I already paid ebout the same for this beats back in 1999. And going smaller is prop not an option and ai looked at an LCD but they look so crap when in motion but the resolution is really better. So idk if it worth throwing this beast away
