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.
That’s not slang, that’s the official term for the mode that hotels/hospital lock their televisions into, so you can’t use any other inputs except the approved channels the hotel offers.
If you try looking up how to disable Hospitality Mode on YouTube, you’ll get stopped right in your search tracks to confirm your identity as an official hotel/hospital/public building owner/manager.
And CRTs are unbelievably heavy in comparison, making them a bitch to move at all.

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?

Put some clothes on, please.
Thanks for pointing it out. I didn’t even notice.
I distinctly recall Sony’s 40" Trinitron CRT weighing over 300 lbs. The 32" was ~200 lbs.
I have a 27" Trinitron and could barely get it into my car by myself. Probably my best curb find ever.
Edit: 108lbs. And 900 US dollars new, in the year 2000; equivalent to $1,750 today.
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.
