Don't need your creds sir.
But they support my *qualified opinions*
A lot of folks like a large flat screen on a wall or otherwise that was just science fiction not that long ago .

Local stores have been destroyed by the internet.
Amazon ,Wall Mart and Apple etc, have brick and mortar stores now and more are coming from Amazon ,etc.
Retail e commerce (the web) is only 20% of retail commerce .
The web is within the internet but not the internet per-see

I also wanted a flat panel TV. I also was super stoked about HD. Now that I have experienced it, I want my CRT back
Perhaps a better 2015-2106 HDR LCD or OLED and good SDR 2160p,HDR and 2K sources ?

Not getting the same color twice proved just how good CRT were at making all the colors
Not the same color twice was more often unstable TV sets than not ,They never made 10 bit wide color gamuts or DCI P-3 cinema color within bt2010 and above 8 bit ATSC and NTSC either and the old delta gun and beyond retail CRT TV's were never precise or stable at anthing anyway (when they worked at all )
Flat panel CRT had Horrible geometry . I owned 5 of them ,Sony Toshiba and Sharp and Sony XBR was better geometry and picture than the rest .

Depending on where you live, the heat produced by electronics is welcomed and
not waste
Depending on your Kwh. hour electricity cost maybe for a minute and they are not efficient heaters anyway ,
who is to say the large CRT electromagnetic radiation isn't dangerous ? The lower medical thresholds for all that are decreasing and then they have lethal voltages also

Incandescent light bulb make the most accurate light
Lets try to stick with the facts , 5500 K is daylight-balanced kelvin , D65 6500 kelvin is more accurate than incandescent also . 65D = 8 bt709 and 2K digital intermediate theatrical production white calibration also too CCFL and LED can do all that with less energy and have a far higher MTBF than incandescent IOW they last a lot ,lot longer least 10x at a minimum .

Now quality takes a backseat to profits and that is the problem.
With a ~ 50,000 hour MTBF ( IOW they usually last longer ) I think on the mean and avarage [*decent] modern flat panel TV are more dependable that CRT TV's .
CRT retail consumer TV never approached the image quality of a professional Sony Trimaster flat panel monitor that can cost as much as a brand new automobile and don't get much bigger than 40" at those prices or a modern [*decent] 4K HDR TV flat panel .
.FWIW the modern retail Sony HDR TV's and some others including LG RBGW OLED hold up remarkably well against those $$$$ professional Sony Trimasters all things considered . No retail CRT can do that .
They sell Sony XBR 4K HDR TVs as professional , B2B and commercial displays
a lot of those are on a 24/7/365 duty cycle . that would indicate exceptional relibility ,parts content and the thermal design adequate for all that. probably the same at Samsung and LG on thier better TV's.
My Sony X850c is on a very severe cable and IPTV business and news channel duty cycle for the legitimate reasons all that would imply and casual entertainment at some point after all that
All they do is change the name on the EXACT same TV . They call my exact or nearly exact 2015 Sony
XBR 4K X850C in the commercial sales channels a
Sony FWD-55X850C 55" 4K/UHD ProBravia LED Display it's just in a different sales channel thats all.
I replace the Sonys in here at maybe 2 years usually with a better and or bigger Sony anyway but they never usually break here except one 2013 Sony that lost some LED's .
$18.00 for all new genuine Sony LED strips on pay bay and about 1 hr of work on the panel fixed it .
At my real severe duty cycles I didn't feel bad about that in a $600.00 msrp. 1080p Sony Bravia grocery getter , it was not the more $$ extra strength XBR series I usually buy like this one in here and the first Sony TV I ever had break something
Same thing with the Extra strength better parts and thermal design inside Sony ES 7.1 AVR's I buy instead of the regular DE models ,again its all about the money
:laugh:
I have a 4 year warranty on this X850C up to replacement cost so it may be here 2-3 yeras or until all the HDR10>HDR10+ and Dolby Vision business shakes out or I get a jones for the new ZD9 FALD NIT Monster or something like that .
