I too hate stretch modes.
Today, CRT's provide the best bang for the buck. Of course they have their issues (convergence, burn in, viewing angles, size and weight, ...) But all in all, they are tried and true, they have been improved to about the extent of their capabilities, and as long as you don't mind the issues, there are many fantastic TV's to choose from.
That said, personally, I would not even consider one. For starters, I personally can not accept the issues. But also, we are at the brink of the digital TV era. As of this year (three weeks old now
I will only consider digital TV's. Take your pick, LCD, DLP, LCoS, Plasma but not analog CRT.
Enjoy
