The largest commercially available cathode ray tube (CRT) television screens reached sizes of 45 inches. However, Mitsubishi experimented with even larger CRT models, producing a few 61-inch TVs, but these were not widely sold due to technological instability and safety concerns. CRT technology had limitations in size due to the bulkiness and weight of the picture tubes required.
CRT televisions were significantly heavier than modern LCD screens for the same screen size. For example, a 32-inch CRT TV could weigh around 150-200 pounds, while a 32-inch LCD screen typically weighs 20-30 pounds. This means the weight-to-size ratio for CRTs was much higher, making them bulkier and harder to handle. The difference arises from the technology: CRTs required large, heavy glass tubes and electron guns, while LCDs use lightweight panels and backlighting systems.
The leap in resolution is also remarkable. Commercial CRT monitors achieved resolutions as high as 2560x1920. In contrast, modern LCD monitors have reached resolutions of 7680x4320 (8K). These displays offer incredible clarity and are widely used for professional tasks like video editing and graphic design. It’s a testament to how far display technology has advanced.

Also the floating beer. Nice find, Dom.

As my Fine-Art Exhibit: 'EVERYONE COULD USE A HERO nears it's final weeks, I'd like to first and foremost apologize to my Flickr FAM for not being able to be online these days as much as I would like to be. My CREATIVE work pulls me from here to there, but I always make it a point to post new material as I am able to. I want to take the time out to extend a most sincere 'Thank-You' to those who made my "EVERYONE COULD USE A HERO" fine-art exhibit at Central Gallery a huge success. (Peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE

Dad loves her enough to tell her that her breath is funky. And did the dentist suddenly become her father at the end of the story?
On the top deck of the BOAC “City of Cardiff” Short Solent Mark III flying boat at the Oakland Aviation Museum. See here and here for views of the exterior of the airplane.
The Museum’s Solent was a cast member in the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, and this is the seat that Harrison Ford occupied in the movie (it is the one that is the dirtiest and most worn out because everyone wants to sit in it, :-D). The magazine is a photocopy of the magazine that was in the Solent scenes in the movie as well.
More information on the museum’s Solent flying boat can be found here.

Battleship USS Iowa dropping anchor (possibly San Francisco Bay).
I know I'd be one of those sailors on the bow, watching this -- and every other operation I could see! Must remember there are many young sailors aboard Navy ships that have never seen much of anything beyond their hometown. That's the way it was with my dad: He was barely 17, from a remote, rural Florida town, when he enlisted in the Navy in 1941 -- six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Though he chose Naval Aviation as a career that lasted until 1955, he spent more time on Navy ships -- aircraft carriers, that is -- than most sailors.
I suspect this photo is part of a 1951 article, which would put the Iowa anchoring in San Francisco bay, off Treasure Island (A US Navy facility at that time); if that's correct, anyone standing on deck or above could gaze across the bay due North -- toward Richmond, California -- and see not only the Kaiser shipyards (where the WW2 Liberty ships and Victory ships were built) , but also the pier where the USS Iowa is temporarily berthed right now. As of October 28, 2011, the battleship is undergoing repairs and preparation for the final move to southern California, where she will continue to be prepared to open as a floating museum (and much more) on the 4th of July, 2012.
The forward deck and 16-inch guns are open to tours (in Richmond, CA) right now (12/19/11): www.pacificbattleship.com/blog

Game of table tennis in progress in the games room of the American Red Cross Service Club on Chichester Street in Belfast. October 1942.
The mural forming the background is one of several that were painted in the club, one example most notably by Stars & Stripes comic strip artist, Dick Wingert.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”
“Nurse Midwife” as it appeared in the Dec. 3, 1951, issue of LIFE magazine.

Shot by one of my idols the great Robert Capa, who is reputed to be responsible for introducing Nikon to the West. As well as starting the famous Magnum Agency. Apparently he picked up a Nikon F on his travels during the early years of the second world war.
The amazing thing about this shot from Life Magazine is the fact that they mention that Capa shot 106 pics on this landing in Normandy, and all but 10 were ruined by the Lab.
“G.E. engineers conducting a typical guided missile test firing at the Army’s Proving Ground, White Sands, New Mexico.” [Image caption]
“General Electric engineers and scientists are helping your Armed Forces to develop rocket leadership.
“Designing and testing such missiles is unbelievably complex. New metals for better rocket motors and better fuels for those motors are being perfected. Super-accurate instruments to steer the missile in flight are being designed. Miles of film must record all the test firings. These are jobs in which industry can, and does provide much help. G.E., for example, has been test firing rocket motors since 1945. . .
“In a short space of time, engineers have sent rockets to previously unattainable heights. Rockets in this country have flown to a height of 250 miles at a speed of over 5,000 miles per hour. . .” [From the ad copy]
