Well, CRTs have been around for about a century.  Back in 1941, when the 
NTSC standard was set, it was considered "Hi Def", as every other system 
had lower resolution.  It took all this time for CRT resolution to 
improve.  On the other hand flat panels do not require improvement in 
technology.  It's possible to make them with much higher resolution.  
The problem is the cost, when most of the market is satisfied with 1080 
lines.  There are higher resolution displays available, but they cost a 
lot more.  How much do you want to spend?
