When the cost of a LCD or other flat screen display costs less to manufacture than the same sized CRT the CRT will be no more.

True, but I have so many CRT sets I could never use them up in my life time, even If I only got one year from each or maybe less. So, I have no worries. Time marches on and so does progress, sometimes blindly like lemmings but marching on nonetheless. Nice signature BTW.

I've stayed in probably 10 hotels/motels in the past year, and all were CRT, including the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada... You'd think at their prices, they'd have had an LCD set if any did. Our room had a Phillips 27" CRT set. That was the only luxury hotel I was in, but others like Days Inn, Motel 6, etc etc., had 19" Zeniths, 20" Phillips, and so forth. Also the cruise ship we were on last summer (Celebrity Infinity) had 20" tube sets, but we were in a mid-priced stateroom. Not sure what was in the higher-priced rooms and suites. Charles

I don't travel as much as I did before I've retired, but I still do 10-12 nights a year in hotels, some nice, and I've never seen anything other than crt's.
Of course, I haven't stayed in any Presidential Suites!

Well the hotels I stayed at were nothing fancy.... Motel 6 in upstate NY, Days Inn in NJ, and a Ramada near Atlantic City and they all had LCDs. Last cruise was on Royal Caribbean (Explorer of the Seas) and the sets were 19" made in Mexico BPC. On Carnival cruises, the midpriced rooms had Zenith BPC crt as well. They'll be around for a long time I guess in these applications.
And for arcade games I hope they stay TUBE.
