    Why would anyone want a CRT TV though? We used to prefer CRT monitors for gaming because they had faster refresh rates, but that’s not really an issue for television, and gaming monitors have superior refresh rates now.

      For older retro-style game consoles, a CRT still provides a better display experience, on LCDs you get smuging/bluring that just wasn’t present on CRTs for these older consoles. An LCD etc just doesn’t do them justice the way a CRT does.

        Oh that’s true. I tried to play some old Nintendo games on my Switch, using my 65" OLED flat panel TV and it was horrible.
