CRT

Ahh, CRTs. You thought I was mentioning Critical Race Theory. Back when I was a young one, CRT meant Cathode Ray Tube, a type of technology that used electron beams inside a glass tube to display images. We had a spare CRT TV in the 2000s, and I used it a bit to watch Discovery Channel - How It's Made and other shows, though I preferred the flat screen Westinghouse 37 inch TV.

If only I had a CRT monitor to watch some classic 1990s anime.

This guy on Reddit had a nice CRT TV for Yu Yu Hakusho, a classic anime from 1993:

So guys, did you have CRT (tube TVs) when growing up? I know @Pommer told me about how he had to use a CRT TV with 14 channels and received signals from local line of site broadcast towers. What did you miss about older televisions compared to modern flat-screen TVs?

@AlexB23 ,
I owned a large tubeTV for years before upgrading to a flatscreen. It was a DVD/VCR combo tv. I miss that tv. But boy was it heavy to move around!

Nice. What brand was your tube TV? Yes, those CRT TVs were heavy to move.
