        That anger when the specs didn’t include the screen bulge in the depth measurement and now you can’t close the armoire door after carrying that shit 50 feet from the car.

          The screen bulge alone in that pic is at least 3 times wider than my TV. It’s amazing what 2 decades of technology can do. Now, if we could just figure out how to make an LED TV than didn’t have a network card…

              Often the non-smart hospitality TVs don’t have the more advanced features you’d want for a home TV like HDR and the like, but I gotta admit that one looks quite decent. Can’t see any Dolby Vision support though.

                    That’s not slang, that’s the official term for the mode that hotels/hospital lock their televisions into, so you can’t use any other inputs except the approved channels the hotel offers.

                    If you try looking up how to disable Hospitality Mode on YouTube, you’ll get stopped right in your search tracks to confirm your identity as an official hotel/hospital/public building owner/manager.

      I distinctly recall Sony’s 40" Trinitron CRT weighing over 300 lbs. The 32" was ~200 lbs.

        Yup. That was the last CRT I ever owned. Thing was a tank and took two people to carry it.
