I didn't even consider LCD till there were true HD, for analogue SD, you need HD LCD or Plasma (no problem with digital SD). Even then it was a while before the quality was comparable to CRT. We only bought LCD (a 40") when the quality looked similar to CRT, at normal range of viewing angles for the room.
I have a 4:3 computer CRT that can do 1920 x 1080, (actually lot more than that) and I can feed it at 50Hz 60Hz or 75Hz from media PC with HD satellite cards (Terrestrial HD is only 1440 wide usually). I had to figure custom timings for the graphics card as it only had computer resolutions and USA HD settings in the menu.
I'm happy that our 40" LCD is almost as good. It's not as good at non-native resolution, that's a big CRT advantage, the variable frame & lines. I have 4 x Dell and one Ilamya CRT that make domestic TV CRT look very poor...
