| Where to Dump Old TV (CRT)
I have a fairly large 45" - 50" or so crt tv, just wondering where i can dump it for free... or if soemone is willing to pay for taking in old tvs, that would be even better...
the tubes in the tv are fked and has been repaired 3 times and we dont want to hassle with it anymore
if anyone reading this thread is interested in the tv (tubes are messed up inside), you can come grab it from my house ASAP anytime night or day

i think you can just put it out like normal trash. even if they don't take it you might get lucky and get scrapper to take it if you leave a "for free" note.
just wondering why u still using the old style tube tv's? LCD/Plasma's are the best and not even that expensive

CRT tube style TV's are still better in many aspects including picture quality. At EVO 2010 video gaming championships they were using CRT's still.

Drop it off at the recycling depot.

The only way to guarantee your electronics are recycled responsibly (i.e not sent overseas to China) is dropping them off at a Return-It site.
Encorp.ca for locations.

atleast people like baoxu/timpo/tictac/hyde gives posts thats entertaining/funny to read, all ur posts r just fking annoying and useless.

Maybe you should do some research on AVS forums
Start here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=64 | That tv you referenced is not a mass produced model and certainly not you average CRT old tube style tv which I was referring to.
I'm guessing 95% of CRT tube tv's aren't 1080i/p compatible.
And for what its worth its only 1080 i which is inferior to 1080p
