Why can’t they make TFTs/Plasmas sturdy as old CRTs?

Not necessarily. CRTs are bulky because of the electron gun that had to be a certain distance away from the screen, and all that glass had to be in a vacuum, and so had to be thicker the bigger the screen.

What I mean is that TFTs and Plasmas could (I think) have some protective layer, maybe half an inch or an inch, I dunno, of strong glass (bulletproof? . That would make the set heavier, of course, perhaps much heavier, so I don’t know if that’s not being done just because it’s not feasible or because of marketing considerations – thinner is better.

The bigger question is, who goes to the trouble of setting up a camera to film himself play Wii bowling unless he intends to do something “Funny”…

Either way, entertaining.

The funniest thing is that it was the final throw of what would have been a 300 game.

Next time, he should play using a Wii Remote Jacket:

“Fun tip, you can set fire to stuff totally by accident if you take one of the Fresnel screens off an old big screen and lean it up somewhere direct sunlight can get to it.”

Thanks,

I’ll file that useful tid-bit under “Insurance Fraud”
