Tube Television Isn't Dead Yet

Although flat panel LCD and Plasma televisions continue to capture consumers' imaginations and pocket books, Samsung and LG hope to breath new life into 60-year old CRT technology with the introduction of new line of "slim CRT sets". Taking a new twist on old technology, Samsung and LG have figured out how to make CRTs that are less than half the depth and weight of a traditional picture tube, making them more attractive for those that desire a television that takes up less space. With the added fact that CRTs produce a more detailed image at a much lower price than flat panel televisions, Samsung and LG hope that consumers will continue to consider the CRT television as a low cost, but high performance, option over newer technologies.
