Well based upon what I've read about LCDs and the screendoor effect I'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing a good 'ol tube CRT. I've slimmed it down to these 3. The Samsung
TX-S3082WH-$664.99 & TX3080WHX- $664.99 and the LG 30FS4D-$759.99. All 3 are at Best Buy plus I've got a 10% off certificate. Any pros or cons I should be concerned about? All 3 appear to be pretty good sets and I'm leaning toward the Samsungs due to the fact that their about hundred bucks cheaper. Thanks in advance.

Samsung 30 inch CRT TV seem to be a hit or miss TV. Some of them seem to have issue with their geometry (bow tie effect). You may want to try one in your house, gaurantying a return policy.

Here is also recent evaluation of CRT TVs by ConsumerReports magazine....
