37-inch plasma TVs once offered deep blacks, wide viewing angles, and smooth motion. By the mid-2010s, production largely ended as manufacturers shifted to LCD/LED and OLED technologies.
Toshiba helped make large flat-panel TVs mainstream. Today, Toshiba-branded sets are often made under license by third parties, so check specs, warranties, and support before you buy.
Twenty-inch flat-panel sets that were common in 2006 are largely discontinued. Today, 24-32 inch smart TVs and compact 1080p monitors with streaming sticks replace those legacy models. This update explains what to look for and practical modern alternatives.
CRT HDTVs used cathode ray tubes to display high-definition signals (commonly 720p and 1080i). Once a competitive, lower-cost alternative to early plasma and LCDs, CRT HDTVs declined as flat panels became thinner, larger, and more energy efficient. Today CRTs survive mainly in retro-gaming and niche professional uses.
