Television screen sizes

[edit]

The entertainment center in my house has a 17 1/2" wide shelf on which I placed my 13" CRT TV. My concern is that when the time comes for me to replace it, I will not be able to find a new CRT TV in any size. All I can find in the stores these days are thin screen TVs which start at 19". The external size of the screens are over 18", meaning they will not fit on my shelf. Does any company manufacture smaller thin screen TVs? Will I be able to find a new 13" CRT TV, or do I have to look in the aisle between typewriters and floppy disks? Hemoroid Agastordoff (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are many options. There are some that are only 7" wide. Some are right around 13". Some are 17". If you are looking solely in the big screen television area of the store, you are limiting your search to big screen televisions. Also look at the smaller televisions that are often used in compact areas of the house like kitchens and bathrooms. I was just at Walmart this morning looking at 19" televisions and they had many from 7" to 19". -- kainaw 19:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What Kainaw said. While you will have a hard time finding a new 13" CRT TV, it shouldn't be very hard to find a flat-screen TV smaller than 17 1/2". The Hero of This Nation (talk) 22:20, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
