September 13, 2006

Back in my retail days throughout the early to mid nineties, we carried several premium CRT display lines that may or may not ring any bells, as all three moved onto core interests or got out of the display market altogether.

June 27, 2005

Back in November of last year I wrote about a new line of HD CRT televisions from Samsung, which in my opinion really fill a long overlooked niche in the home theater market.
