The Optimal Way To Smash? (Where can I get a good CRT? Any suggestions on trusted brands?)

I have an HDTV right now that I've been playing on for some time. It outputs 1080p HD or 1080i. I'm planning on getting a CRT very soon. I'm aware that the CRTs have no lag whereas the HDTVs due because of the fact that the Wii only inputs 480p/480i and the TV is trying to output an up-scaled 480p which takes time and causes lag(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Could anyone direct me to a site or the type of CRT that they have good experience with? Budget isn't necessarily an issue. Any help would be much appreciated as I'd like to improve and play as optimally as possible. Save the frames. Thank you in advance!

Check your local Goodwill. Picked up a Panasonic CRT for $0.53 and I use it at home and bring it to EXP.

Nevermind. I found out I actually have a pretty good one. LAGLESS Project M feels amazing. I got a Wii now as well. Oh my God dude. It's so amazing. I've seen the eyes of God. Hallelujah!

I've been playing at EXP and other events and what not and I never noticed the massive difference until I tried the direct comparison at home. I never realized how much one second could make a difference. It's incredible.
