On a lark I looked up the "old" days on the forum, starting back when I was perhaps one of the original 13 Cylons posting on the forum, and ending by the end of 2003/start of 2004 when I found my Earth and became a regular forum member instead of moderating. HA!

There's some interesting historical stuff therein - interviews at the start of V, Inc. (now Vizio), PS Audio, the dawn of the new digital age with Texas Instruments, etc., etc.

CRT is STILL king in the On-Off department.

Well, a Smart car is one of the smallest cars around.... I guess that is some thing to cling to...

Nope, that will be the SEOS Zorro LCoS beamer, specced at somewhere between 200K and 500K:1

When the DBox was just the renowned Nokia digital satellite receiver, back in the previous century.

Member Darin reported 700000:1 for a CRT he measured...

 

[donaldk]

That's incredible;-). Specs are much lower though, 50K max. Anyone here actually has a CRT that still does anything like 100K:1 or more?

And in chassis longevity. 68K hours is the highest I've had in. I retubed it, changed some caps, out the door it went again.
