I have the sony 24 incher referred to in the prior post, better known as the GDM FW-900. It is absolutely beautiful in max resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels with .23mm aperature. Best of all, you can use it as either a widescreen PC or an HDTV with a HiPix DTV200 1080i/720p HDTV tuner card from telemann labs. (the 'WinTV' is available from hauppague as well, either for about $400)

It can handle scan rates up to 120 Mhz...basically anything you can dish out. (Sorry about the pun.)


I would love to invest in a scaler or quadrupler to run a progressive DVD player at 1080p or double a cbs broadcast into 1080p.


To answer your first question about 'dot pitch' aperatures:


Most 16:9 34" crt direct views will have an aperature of about .80mm and higher. Probably the best of these is the Sampo SME-34WHD5 at .82mm with a max resolution of 1024 X 768. The highest resolution ABOVE 24" is the 30" princeton AF3.0HD at .63mm which will scan up to 1024 X 768 also.( http://www.princetonhdtv.com/Products/PHDTV-HD-AF30HD-specs.asp )


Still, 1024 X 768 can't hold a candle to 2304 x 1440, eventhough you have to compramise 6 to 10 diagonal inches.


24" works well in a smaller sized room anyway. I remember being perfectly happy with my 19" GE growing up.


Best of luck.
