Fuck it, here goes.
I work as a firmware developer for a major LCD panel manifacturer.
CRT threads in 4chan is a major problem for the company. Higher-ups are so annoyed they literally hired a "social media task force" (yeah, I hope I was kidding) whose whole purpose is practically derailing crt threads here and in some other forums (e.h. [h]ard forums come to mind...).
They are 100% scared. People buying used CRTs actually cut a large chunk off our production because they tell their friends/relatives and has a snowball like effect.
I once worked for a prototype digital interface for CRTs (basically a feasibility project) and the whole thing got canned once we delivered results.
Don't let them win. Keep fighting.
