The 2 Bunny Guide to low cost HDTV with CRT Rear Projection

any people don't think that they can afford HDTV, and even though the prices of fixed pixel LCD displays has come down considerably, the cost to have a decent diagonal screen size of these sets is usually quite high and not workable for many people. Thankfully, the "HDTV Solution" for most people like that can be solved with a remedy from the distant past: CRT Projection technology. Back between around 1999 and 2008, companies like Mitsubishi Television, Pioneer, Sony, Magnavox, and many more built some 3D Full HD television sets ranging in size from 48" diagonally to 73". Today, due to the depth of these flat screen sets, people are moving on to different display technologies, and as such, Craiglist and other similar sites are flooded with these. Some of them work, some of them don't, and the ones that don't are free. The best part is that usually the repair is a common low cost solution that you can do yourself at home...

That's pretty good. They've been phasing them out pretty much completely at most of the stores. Was it a newer model?
