CRT sets beat even the nicest plasma and DLP screens for a much lower price. mark if you want a quality 4:3 set, check out the al gahnim sony tube HDTV’s, they have the best picture quality and full of options. the 29 inch set can be had for as low as 155 KD.

HDTV is not THAT established across the world yet so it's not suprising that it's not available in kuwait at all. give it another 5 years. oh BTW HDTV is worth it if you do any sort of DVD watching or gaming. even the original xbox supports high def signals and looks awesome on my mate’s DLP set. standard to HD is like night and day. and widescreen is just pure sex.

If you think finding a tube HDTV in kuwait is hard try finding a widescreen tube HDTV, it's damn near impossible esp with reasonable prices. i know sony has a great model but i couldn't find it in kuwait even though it's listed in sony ME. the best i could find was a samsung 34 slim widescreen HDTV in hawalli but it's set to native 1080i and i am not sure if it upconverts 720p signals to 1080i or downconverts them to 420P. it's sold for about 340KD which is reasonable and it looks absolutely fantastic. i think i might have t buy it anyway bc i really want my xbox 360 to run in widescreen and high dev, even if it's still not at it's optimal resolution. 1) wansa is shite so don’t even bother. the al rai gahnim shop had a pair of wansa widescreen HDTV’s running and they looked terrible.

Sony have real nice TV's, just be prepared to pay extra than a panasonic for no real features other than brand. ;-) WANSA is cheap, but not well-known brand.
