One advantage of modern TVs is how slim they are. It’s so crazy to me now how much space those old TVs took up. You just had a big TV stand sticking out from the wall.
That anger when the specs didn’t include the screen bulge in the depth measurement and now you can’t close the armoire door after carrying that shit 50 feet from the car.
The screen bulge alone in that pic is at least 3 times wider than my TV. It’s amazing what 2 decades of technology can do. Now, if we could just figure out how to make an LED TV than didn’t have a network card…
Often the non-smart hospitality TVs don’t have the more advanced features you’d want for a home TV like HDR and the like, but I gotta admit that one looks quite decent. Can’t see any Dolby Vision support though.
I’m using an old console TV that I’ve modified to hold a flat screen. I literally have a home server and a sound bar built into it the space that was originally just the tube and there’s still enough space for my full grown ass to climb inside.

Yeah, but you could use them as a shelf.
Put stuff on too of them (just be careful when watering the plants).
You can also store cats on top of them, they like the warmth.
And CRTs are unbelievably heavy in comparison, making them a bitch to move at all.
They are thief proof though.
Promise you no one stealing this tv unless they bring a crew.

They do make non-smart TVs, you just have to know where to look.

Don’t look up Hospitality Mode, unless you want to end up on a list.
Ok, what that slang stands for?
I distinctly recall Sony’s 40" Trinitron CRT weighing over 300 lbs. The 32" was ~200 lbs.
Yup. That was the last CRT I ever owned. Thing was a tank and took two people to carry it.
I’m pretty sure we had a 32". And that was MASSIVE for the time.

even Flatscreen CRTs were not that slim :/
