"but for moms and pops scouting a 13-inch CRT on the cheap for that garage / playroom, it looks like you'll be forced to throw down for an LCD or head elsewhere." Or, you know, buy a 13" cheapo CRT with a digital tuner instead of an analogue tuner. 's how it works in the UK, at least.
I just looked around and there are a number of digital 13" tvs for the same $100 of analogs. I don't see this causing any problems.
On the other hand, without tube tvs, people will have to lay down a few hundred dollars more on a flat panel tv, which sucks. A HD flat panel is nice, but I don't see anything wrong with a tube tv for a fraction of the price. Not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a tv.
