Perhaps, but only if they are still running

Nice to see ya big dog.
My Boeing G90 is at 18,000 on the clock and still ticking. All original. Bone stock. No new chips. No new upgrades. It just runs.
For now.

Must be getting time for re-tube?
Should look into a set of Thomas tubes for the G-spot

Yep. Time to either retube or take them down. I've got 7500+ hours clocked on the tubes so far.

Not sure thats a fair statement, unless you can find a tricked out 9500 ultra or a 909/Cine9/Runco1200. |
I think the later model Barco 1209s/Runco110x are similar/equal to a G90. They have high res tubes stock, Runcos have the colored C-Elements, some Barcos all Runcos come with the HD120 lenses while not the equal of the HD-10Fs are still excellent lenses for home theater use. The firmware while not 909 powerful has many options not in earlier Barcos. I am not saying the Barco's are the equal of a G90 but I bet they are very close are parts are very plentiful.

I agree... G90 is Mac Daddy. Barco 1209/Runco DTV1100 is Real Real close.....

On the subject of 3D, I think it represents a huge advancement in video technology. Much more than what we saw during the switch from standard def to high def. During all my life, the only thing I can remember with as much difference was when tv's progressed from black and white to color. I can actually remember when my dad replaced our black and white set with a color one in 1965 and that was a major huge difference. Although 3D tech today is still primitive from where it needs to be, I have to say it has greatly advanced from the 3D movies of the 50's. The glasses are still a problem though IMO.
If any of you were lucky enough to see the masters demonstated in 3D at Best Buy, I think you would be quickly changing your opinion to its merits. Its a stunning show of technical advancement IMO. As though you have just gone from watching black in white to color. When you see realtime countryside in 3 dimensions it is as though you are there.
Unfortunately, my 9" Barco just isn't ever going to get 3D to work though. Nor would stacked Barcos or even G90 projectors either. But I do have a plasma in my living room that is iching to get swapped out for something like I saw at Best Buy if and when more real time 3D becomes available. It will only be a matter of time for me.
So I would say if crt isn't already dead, it surely will be when 3D gets going. As I understand it, crt just doesn't have enough brightness and refresh to get the job done.

But exactly what kind of experience is one going to get from 3D when watching a 1080P 50" flat panel from 12' away? Its bad enough the resellers are laughing at the buyers for buying into 1080P flat panels when they sit way too far back to benefit from the resolution, but what the frick good is 3D on a tiny window called a flat panel sitting way over there across the room? And in my family room, it is more like 16' across the room.
Primitive is an understate, but based on cowsumer buying behavior its one that manufacturers and marketing departments all love, and resellers will desperately embrace. Too bad the market isn't as focused on home theater as much as BS3D.

All I can say is that if you get the opportunity, watch a demo at your local Best Buy and see for your self. Because if their equipment works like what I saw you will know first hand what good 3D equipment can do. You will see just how great it looks and will be wondering how to adapt some of it in your house too.

There was no demonstration of 3D in the best buy near me, but then again this one thought for the longest time 480P in their Magnolia room was representative of HT. Now its 600P (SVGA). So much for being in the land of upper-middle income suburbia.
