Looking for flat screen tube TV between 25" and 30"

[Carmen]

I would love some advice here, I've been looking for similar topics but I don't know of how much help they would be to me.

I'm looking for a tube-style (no Plasma, no LCD) TV with flat screen... around 25"-30" - mostly (if not entirely) for console gaming. Any suggestions? I've been having sore luck, every model I seem to find seems to have some purported flaw or other (the screen on the KV-27FS120 SONY is slightly curved, there are unintentional lines in the Samsung slim-fit, etc.)

Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions? I'm not in the mood for flipping my TV on its side (since I know which forum I'm posting this in!), so thats not a concern...

I love my 29" CRT Panasonic to death. It's 250M model, one with progressive scan, the latest being 350M with HD, but I find that abit edgy. Ive been searching for a qualtiy CRT like you before, roughly a year ago,, none I've come accross could beat this 250M for all retro gaming needs. It has 2 compionent inputs and 2 s-video+composite inputs.

My only regret is that I couldn't compare it with any Toshibas as they are rare for some reasons in the place I live.
