You know what was great about the era of CRTs? We didn’t know what we were missing. If you look at almost every 70s/80s scifi movie depicting the future decades from then, and there is a computer display of some sort, it will be a CRT. Even inside vehicles.
Star Trek is the only one where I saw flat panels (LCARS terminals). AND they were touchscreens.
Back to the Future 2 had 16:9 flat screen TVs that were wall mounted. It’s one of only two things it got right about the future, the other being that Japan would still be using fax.
That would be cool for playing console games on, but I sure wouldn’t want to have to move it.
I’m almost certain I’ve moved a CRT or two that were heavier than that.
80s/90s kids remember being able to throw their controllers at the TV without fear. (Console games on a console tv to console the cold war anxiety)

Fuck, I never would think to throw my controller at the screen!
I also don’t ever throw my controllers in general. Why would I want to break them? Lol.
Things made in the 80s never broke.
Except for the people 🥲
I remember when my parents offered to trade me their 32" Phillips-Magnavox for my puny little 27" because they were “trying to downsize”. I felt so fuckin cool playing Max Payne and Fable on my original Xbox.
