I bought a Blu-ray player for a really good price. After a few
hiccups, got
it going well.

I watch my 960 at about 9 feet. Perfectly OK for DishHD, almost OK
for OTA.
Had to move in a bit for "ideal" OTA when I watched it.

The Blu-ray gets "astounding" on this set at about 5.5-6.0 feet.
Jaw
dropping. I have
a Dave Matthews/ Tim Reynolds concert that is so good, the picture
quality
is even distracting!?

I remember watching old black and white stuff, on snowy OTA
signals. Cripes
I'm old now.

What I recall, no matter how bad the signal was..if the content was
superb..you forgot
the bad picture and merged into the movie/show whatever. I always
judged
content by how much it "took me away".

LOL, now I have PQ so good, it's distracting ;>).!? even though I
have to
[drumroll] MOVE my chair closer to the TV!!!! Look I'm suffering
here.,heh,

Well, enjoy it while you can because when it wears out, you'll have no
choice but to find something else as there will be no replacement CRTs
available. Perhaps there will be enough improvements or new schemes
that you can live with later on.
