I don't mean to get anyone here upset, but what I don't understand is why certain members of this forum, a forum dedicated to CRT enthusiasts, wish to use it to denigrate CRT technology, endlessly push for LCD and plasma, and purposely antagonize those who prefer CRTs and state why they dislike current TVs - especially when these same members also collect CRT TVs in large amounts?
Now I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but if you believe so strongly that your plasmas and LCDs are so much better, and picture tube TVs are so inferior, then why don't you all just sell or give away your CRT collections? Save the space, I'm sure your spouses and/or other household members will love you even more for doing so. You can then enjoy your new, big, supersize flatscreens in the comfort of a clutter-free home, with no more burdensome CRTs to encroach on you anymore. Then, afterwards, you can go and post on some other forum dedicated to flatscreens and the people who think they're the greatest invention since the cotton gin.
Perhaps your passionate defense of LCD and plasma technology is your inner conscience's way of telling you that it's time to part with your CRTs. There are many people throughout the United States who will be happy to acquire all of your older CRT TVs. There's eBay, Craigslist, this web site, and other venues to help all of you get rid of your bothersome older sets.
Meanwhile us bland, boring, backward, party-pooper non-conformists who live in the past and cling to our CRT televisions can go on posting here and having a good time.
End of rant.
