:confused:

It won't, the res is only 480 lines. Unfortionately the newer sony crts aren't that reliable and the capacitors are prone to failing. I've had two fail.

Anyway, the TV amazes me, it's a lot better than the cheap LCDs you see around, really pleased with it.

701143 2008-09-04 03:12:00 It won't, the res is only 480 lines. The resolution should be better than 480, it is a 625 line system and although not all of that is available for the image it sure shouldn't lose 145 lines.

In the 625 line system, 576 lines are used used for picture, the other 49 are used for blanking interval signals etc. A few more lines may be lost in over-scan, but if the TV displays less than 560 lines, the restriction is in the video processing or transmission protocols, not the TV itself.
