Fair enough. Personally I'm old enough to remember when my parents upgraded the living room TV from a CRT to a flat screen (I think it was a plasma?) and the upgrade so so drastic I've never had any urge to go back.

I think part of it is that the only CRT's left in existence are the ultra-high-end models that retro enthusiasts covet. Models that I never would have seen back in the late 90's unless I had an ultra wealthy friend or visited a local TV station. The old console-style CRT with only a single coaxial input, with the faded phosphorus and the weird spots where someone got a magnet too close to the screen... I'm fine leaving that in the past lol.

Actually you can get them practically for free nowadays. I got a 20" for 25 euro in 2021. Just don't ship them. They WILL be destroyed.
