CRT HDTV with DVI/HDCP

TV sets based on CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) technology can also enjoy the benefit of DDVI/HDCP.

This is because CRT HDTVs convert the signal to digital form for transmission. However, CRT HDTV may not get benefit equal to that received by digital HDTVs.
Tips for Buyers
 While buying a new TV that costs more than $1000, ensure that it has DVI/HDCP input.
 Do not buy a fixed pixel TV, i.e., without CRT technology that has a non-standard native resolution. It will not facilitate 1x1 pixel mapping, and getting the best picture quality will become a distant dream. It may seem to be difficult to avoid a fixed pixel TV, as non-standard resolutions have actually multiplied in Plasma TVs, RPTVs, and front projectors. But it is worth the effort to do so.
 TV stores display the picture via component connection. This is of little use to the buyer. It is prudent to take a DVD player with DVI input, along with you, to check out the TV. This also helps to compare television picture quality in different stores.
 HDTV with three DVI inputs is ideal. However, such HDTVs are not available at present, and only a handful of them come with two DVI inputs. They are the ones launched two years back.
 While connecting the appliances to fixed pixel television sets (Plasma, DLP, LCD, LCoS), it is crucial to get a single pixel mapping for the best picture quality.

The world of electronics is changing from analog to digital. Hence, it becomes indispensable to convert the connections between household electronic devices into digital.

This renovation is already complete for audio devices. And for visual devices, DVI epitomizes this foreseeable change. Therefore, to keep in pace with the technology, go digital!
