Charles, just to be clear, I have no problem with smashing a junk set, heck, I like smashing stuff as much as the next guy!

I was just concerned with the narrow attitude I often see here concerning new technology.
...And I should apologize for starting a war. Not the original intent, and honestly, I didn't realize we the members had a fairly deep-rooted division between flat screen likers & dislikers. I guess it's a Ford vs. Chevy, wrestling vs. boxing, or any political thing. To be fair, I might have to demonstrate the proper handling of a late model K-Mart CRT set....

NOTE: I would NEVER do anything to hurt a collectable TV; flat or CRT, fixable or not, or DuMont or Kawasho. And I mean even one that somebody else finds collectable and I don't. Mutual collectors' respect there.

Yes, and I'm carefully preserving a Sony 32TS1 and the 55" two-piece plasma sets as collectable TVs. That Maxent was fairly new (and cheap).
