Why are there no tube televisions anymore?

I remember my first TV ectasy...In 1958...7 years old or six...my grandfather bought a TV set....

Animated comics with classical music beside the mute image, even the scherzo music of Bruckner ninth symphony...

It takes me thirty years to retrieve this Bruckner thema consciously...

I miss the Indian static image target when the program were off......Younger people here had no idea of what i speak about....It is a mystery   keeped  in memory by  old ape like me....

I guess i am a nostalgic character....

My favorite screen are not computer one nor TV one nor gamer screen... Ereader screen take me on the verge of ectasy though....I own 2 russian pocketbook ereaders because they read all ebook format files with dictionary integrated in 50 languages ....

Tube TVs?  Good riddance!  Even the small sets were beasts to move back in the day.  Now where did I put that aerial...er, ugly antenna.

I still have my parent’s 1970s era console television in my art studio. Looking at it brings back great memories of watching Saturday morning cartoons, and shows like Mash, Kojak, The Million Dollar Man, and Baretta with my parents. Outside of my studio is my listening room. I have an 85 inch Samsung flatscreen mounted on the wall in that room. There just isn’t any comparison between a tube television and a flatscreen picture. I would say, it isn’t even close, unless your flatscreen is shot.

To bring in the tube television is comparable to taking my parent’s old console all in one stereo out of their garage, and scrapping all of my high end audio gear. I suppose if I hooked up my parent’s console stereo, I could bring over a crapload of 78s and 8-track tapes. Can you imagine going back to 8-track tapes? I can hear Comes A Time by Neil Young right now, as my Dad had it on 8-track. “Four strong winds that blow - fade out - click - fade in- lonely - Seven seas that run high,…plays a couple of verses and the chorus - fade out - click - fade in - But by then it would be winter - Not too much for you to do….”

Yes, audio has advanced light years, and so has visual technology. Be it a flatscreen, a decent computer monitor, or even your cellphone’s tiny screen, tube televisions simply can’t compete with the increased quality of the pictures available on these new flatscreen modes. Think of owning an eighty pound tube computer monitor. Even if it had a comparable picture, it would look ridiculous on your desk, and couldn’t work in concert with laptops. I guess the answer to your question is, tube televisions are gone forever because a newer, better technology has replaced the old dinosaurs with a much better picture.

Why no tube TV's? Cost, reliability, resource usage and a hundred other reasons.

I have one that is almost 40 years old. Picture and sound are still functioning like the day it was new. I wonder if my LED sets will still be functioning in another 40 years.
Unfortunately, I won't be here to find out.
But, I have to admit that a lot of people like "dinosaurs". Especially our children. By the time they are my age I can only imagine what marvels they will experience. Perhaps some of them will keep tech from our present time, in their "dinosaur collection". (assuming they are still working)
