I'm pretty sure i said the UK. So what has you buying one at Walmart got anything to do with what i was saying? Just because they were still on sale in the US does not mean that they were available everywhere else in the world. I guess the UK just progressed a little quicker than the US ;) j/k

I know that for some reason European countries did adopt the 16:9 format long before North America did so it's entirely possible it was a similar scenario with CRT TV's around that time as well. I live in Sweden and I recall looking for a new CRT TV for old school gaming back then (2004 or 2005) but they weren't sold any longer so I had to look for a used one.

Originaltrilogy.com without TV's Frink would be a very boring place. :)
