No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.
I mean you can still find a CRT today and turn it on if you like, they’re less common for sure, but they’re still around if you’re looking for one

Kids born after 2000 aren’t looking for one

Well that’s a lie, I know an early 20 year old who’s into retro games and has definitely been to an arcade with CRTs in the past year or so

I had three different ones growing up. The first 2 were black and white and the last one was color. All found on the side of the road.

I find one every once in a while, on the side oft the road aswell, unfortunately some idiot usually sprayed graffiti on it for some dumbass Instagram post, or I have no room at my place ATM.

Dude I’d kill for the opportunity to get my hands on a half-decent CRT

You’d be surprised, some people born in the 2000s want them for the retro factor now

CRTs are popular with people who have retro games consoles.
They’re surprisingly difficult to acquire though. Big, heavy and either very expensive or free.
