Does anyone know anything about this TV? How is the image quality?

I was primarily going to play games on it and watch a few DVD's.

If you are looking at direct view tube widescreen CRT's, the best are the Sony units with Super Fine Pitch. They have a much higher resolution picture than other models, close to true HD. Most widescreen "HDTV" CRT units are actually not capable of displaying anything near a true HD picture (in terms of visible resolution).

The biggest drawback to the Super Fine Pitch Sony widescreen CRT's is that they a very large (deep) and very heavy... some models approach nearly 300 pounds. Image quality is excellent, though.
