The end of CRT in America?
For years I was under the impression that there were no new CRTs manufactured for sale in the US (at least at retail) after 2004, as I had never found a CRT set made after 2004. However today I found a set made in November 2005. Is it possible that new CRTs were manufactured for retail sale in the US in 2006, despite me never having seen one personally?

I think 2009-2010 was the end of consumer CRT set sales in the USA. The last ones seem to be the Disney themed youth sets, made cheaply from leftover component parts.

I think you could still buy CRTs until 2010ish. The last ones were cheap offbrands from China, Funai and maybe an Orion. They even had digital tuners.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the November 2005 set I got is either a Funai or a LG, it's a TruTech branded 13(?) inch TV/VCR combo unit made in Korea.

My Sansui digital CRT TV was produced in October of 2008, and I know they still had CRT TVs in some stores locally at least through Black Friday 2010.

I recall about 10 years ago or perhaps a little later, seeing CRT sets relegated to a back corner of my local Best Buy store. Probably 6 or 8 different plastic cabinet analog table models. Screen sizes from 9" to probably 17" sets. This does not include those small screen, very cheap $10.00 CRT's found in drug stores & discount stores ect. These Coby analog crt sets are still listed on the Amazon site. Are they the very last of the CRT sets?

In 2005 I bought a 13" colour stereo Emerson with a built in DVD player.
It's build amazed me. They used a DVD ROM, like you would see in a tower PC. All the resistors were gold banded and all the caps were Nichichon. It also had two 3" round speakers mounted up front which gave decent audio. I retired it when our cable went digital only...and gave it to a friend's grandkid to play his DVD's on. It's still going strong too.

I had to laugh about some of the fools on the E-place. They're asking $40-50 for this junk.
