I love CRTs, I wish I still had one. I gave mine away in 2016 (I think) and regretted it ever since.
I like that they sound like they're going to electrocute you to death every time you turn them on. Also they're heavy as hell, like heavier than you'd think they are.
Fun fact about CRTs, did you know that the sound of untuned channel snow/noise/static is the sound of 13.7 billion year old cosmic radiation?
This is your useless Dort fact of the day
My parents got a big screen CRT
Believe you me, I know how heavy they are
Damn thing took me (a stout lad) and three men who were even stouter and laddier than me to move
I did know that! However ot isnt exclusive to a CRT. You can still get the snow channel on a 4k tv. That isnt a cathode ray thing. It's a radio signal thing. That's another reason I like analogue stuff. I know how a lot of it works
