    Yeah, I’ve never heard of a truly high-definition (i.e. 1080p or above) CRT TV either. There were plenty of CRTs capable of high resolution, and they were affordable and had superb picture quality, but they weren’t TVs.

    I think that’s because the TV market, unlike the computer market, was hungry for big screens. A few ~40-inch CRT TVs did exist, but they were monstrously heavy (and expensive), whereas I can easily pick up and carry around an LCD of that size by myself.
