I'm suddenly reminded of Hi Score Girl.

That requires lots of money tho, and CRT TV's have a hard lifespan of 10 years unlike LCD's

CRTs do not have a hard lifespan of 10 years.

My dad bought a MagnaVox 23" TV, brand new, for the living room for Christmas of 1990. It even had the fake wood paneling shit on the sides and top. And I distinctly remember watching nightly coverage of Operation Desert Storm on it. We had that TV and it kept working and I used it as a spare TV/guest room addition up until around 2007. (I can't remember when, but it was the mid-2000s)

And it got... tons of use. This wasn't just a TV that was barely on. It was constantly on and used for much of its life.

Now I will admit by the early 2000s that the cathode ray tube was not putting out the picture quality when it was brand new, but it wasn't like it was a pixelated and washed out mess. You could still watch TV on it.

Your one case scenario of a single tv totally means this industry accepted estimated lifespan is debunked. Silly then

Not just a single case. You can find people selling old CRT televisions that still work all over the internet. I'm not the only person in this thread to call you on that.

But go on thinking that it makes sense for a CRT tv to just hit 10 years old and fucking die like it's a timer when that's exactly what you were implying and are not-so-subtly attempting to handwave away and walk back on.
