Palms Place has two 42 inch plasmas in the main room and a LCD flat screen in the bathroom.

Am I the only one who would prefer a good 'ol CRT to a flat screen if the feed is SD analog? I find the flat screens often distort SD signals.

No, you are not -- especially if you cannot control the aspect ratio, as is the case many of these hotel LCDs I have seen.

The aspect ratio is the real issue on most HDTVs, IMO. Even a good SD digital feed can get distorted on HDTVs if stretched. SD analog depends a lot on the feed quality, but is usually passable on HDTVs if not stretched.

It also has HD signal vs the Wynn which is flat screen, but mostly standard def.

Venetian has flat screens in the Venezia Tower.

Can we say Daewoo or some other off brand LCD's. Either that, or some guy draw pictures on a flat piece of paper for you behind the wall to entertain you... that could be a flat screen.
