Color TV broadcasting in the U.S. went 100% color, in prime time by the 3 networks in the 1965/66 season. By the early 70's, we can say color TV was mainstream after prices dropped substantially. Large screen flat TV's have been around for 14 years.
Today's average buyer, in their 20's and 30's, maybe 40's, will consider a big CRT TV as obsolete, to big, to heavy and not big enough. They were not around to appreciate the romance of the post-war televisions, black and white (I Love Lucy) and the dawn of color television.
Having said that, I suspect that most of us here, are technical types, and TV repairmen, present and former who grew up with CRT televisions and the romance of CRT televisions will remain fond and nostalgic for all of us.
