The end of CRT in America?

[Steve D.]

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?

That was the last one I really remember; Rite Aid drug stores had them for $10-20. There were also some cheap portable karaoke machines with a crt but I guess they don't quite qualify as a TV.

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

Radio Shack had a big stack of Sylvania badged 5" B/W TV's in December of 2008. They were marked at $9.99. The salesperson said they were priced incorrectly, they should be $4.99.
I never took it out of the box.
