Sounds suspiciously like stuff I used to hear about how hard it is
to build a color CRT vs B&W. All of that doesn't matter anymore.
But okay, it will take some time. I think we disagree only on how
much time. I say very few years before CRT TVs will become unusual
on store shelves. (Same goes for price reduction on ATSC front
ends.)
