Samsung Vixlim
Juniper Foo | Nov 04, 2004
Hurrah, no more big fat CRT displays. Word's out that Samsung has developed what could be the world's slimmest CRT TV. At 35cm deep, the Vixlim is still no svelte LCD wannabe, but it halves the current 50 to 60cm offerings on shelves and breathes new life into the technology. Its comeback means healthy competition for the digital TV segment which, if industry watchers get their numbers right, could see prices drop by as much as one-third. Sweet!

CRT still looks a lot better than its LCD or Plasma counterpart, and for a third of the price, getting a CRT is a no brainer. Although CRT is a thing of the past, LCD will never reign as OLED start taking over everything in the next couple years.
