This is NOT recycling. It is MURDER. If you wanted to recycle a CRT monitor or television, you'd re-home it. Sell it, donate it to a thrift store. Tearing apart a piece of equipment that most likely still has several years or even decades of life left in it is a travesty.

Not to mention that all flat panel televisions are cheap Chinese junk. No LCD could ever match the build quality of most CRT sets. I own and love a Sony Trinitron KV-40XBR800, and no flat display will ever replace it.

All I can see is good riddance.

Flat panel tech becoming cheap is the best thing to happen to the industry. These heavy bulky relics belong in museums!

the last crt tv i had up until 2009 was a Philips 15PT1767/05 and the picture was amazing to say it was a crt flat screen new in 2005 4 years later of being used every day the only thing that made me get rid of the poor tv was the power switch failed if i could i would of got the switch repaired if it didnt cost so bloody much and i bet it would of being still going as good as new :-( now i just have 2 lcds the philips was proberly one of the best crt tvs i ever owned plus i still have remote4it

Why do they cut off the power cord when it just unplugs? That really annoys me because it's pointless. F*cking idiots. I agree with SpeakerPolice.

[SpeakerFreak95]

what do they do with all of those loudspeakers?!

@speakerpolice I totally agree with you. I love the CRT monitor and I am actually a CRT monitor expert repairman. I was sad to see them go. However, RIP the CRT.

[SpeakerPolice]

I understand your reasoning for certain technologies, like the Betamax cassette or 8-track. But the only reason CRT technology isn't used anymore is because people don't like heavy, bulky things, and there is a readily available lightweight alternative (LCD). CRT tech is in no way inferior to flat panel, picture quality-wise. Development has stopped, however, so we are very unlikely to see it used to its full potential.

@SpeakerPolice I owned a rotary dial telephone once. It was awesome. Great fidelity. No power required. But you need to let go of old technology. That was last century. So is the CRT. You will use a bit less power too so you'll be GREEN! lol
