    The only thing that modern TVs beat CRTs on is weight.

    I’d rather have my 200lbs behemoth CRT back, than to have a smart TV thats just gonna die in 3 to 5 years, just like the last one, and the one before it.

      Size is also one. Modern tv can scale the length and height up without scaling much of the width. Dumb TV also doesn’t need internet to update. Pretty sure smart tv doesn’t need update as well. It’s not that CRT is the best, we just forgot how to make a good LCD tv.

        I’m sure manufacturers remember pretty well too, they just don’t want to.

      This is just stupid. Size, weight, picture ratio, picture quality, sound quality, compatibility, functionality. A modern TV is better at literally everything. Don’t just blindly agree with something just because it’s on a meme.
