Well,
my current living room TV has a flat faced CRT.
It's the first TV that I've bought new,
or with a built-in tuner, in 40+ years.
Even in the 1970s, used composite monitors connected
to the tuner of a VCR produced better image than TVs
But, "flat" COULD be used to refer to thickness rather
than shape of the face.
Howabout the FCC conspiring to force EVERYBODY to buy
a new TV with their efforts to render all current
technology obsolete?
