32" television

I believe that Sony discontinued production of CRT-based TV sets in 2006, in part because in that year the European RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive went into effect, which made the use of leaded glass in CRTs a no no. I believe that most or all other manufacturers discontinued production of CRT-based sets soon afterwards.

A few months prior to their discontinuance that year I purchased a 30 inch Sony Wega (148 pounds), which is fabulous. Glad I did. Hey, my amplifier weighs almost 100 pounds :-)

Any CRT has at max 410 lines of resolution.

Elizabeth, that's for standard definition CRTs. My Sony KD-30XS955 CRT-based high definition TV falls into the category that is referred to in this Wikipedia writeup as "Super Fine Pitch," which has a theoretical vertical resolution of 1080 lines.

I don't know precisely what it's actual measurable resolution would be, but I suspect it is likely to be upwards of 900 lines.
