Flat screens are excellent, now.
They were pretty crap for standard def broadcast for ages though, to be honest.
Our first 24 inch (ooh the decadence) flat screen, about 8 years ago,was a blocky, laggy mess.
Ace for gaming and DVD’s though.

I can see the vinyl comparison, but music has a deeper emotional connection for most of us, surely?
I get the nostalgia for vinyl, love the whole process myself.
But I can’t get nostalgic about old TVs or crappy VHS tapes.
Emulation v consoles?
My neice and husband have a room full of old consoles (mostly mine 🙂 ) and games.
Everything from Binatone Pong, all my old SNES stuff, consoles I’ve never heard of.
Even they don’t have a CRT though, they use a projector.
4 player Bomberman is still fantastic. 🙂
I’ve got a DS, Wii, PS2 & 3 and a GameCube at home.
The Sony things are pretty much appliances, really, but I do love using the Nintendo stuff.
