Best 32" CRT out there?

Sorry to repeat the old thread, but I've read it through a couple of times and wanted to see what people thought a few months on.

I'm looking for a 32" screen, which must have PAL and NTSC progressive scanning; a composite sockets would also be a bonus. I've been reading up on the TX-32PD30 which looks very promising though I've heard about a problem with the PAL progressive scanning. Has this been fixed?

Also what is this about Sony KV36FQ100?

Cheers,

BEst 32" CRT is B&O Avant followed by B&O Beovision 3 but for normal TV Tosh PF2 or PD30 are good JVC DIST sets are great as well.

I was comparing a 32 inchTosh PF2 and Panny PD30 today (they were side by side).

Both had the usual dodgy geometry.

The tosh had great colour reproduction and a very natural picture (not much evidence of over processing).

The PD30 had a more dynamic and sharper picture with more depth. However, on this set I noticed more processing evidence which could prove annoying.

I had them set up with similar contrast, colour etc.

I guess it depends on what you prefer.
