27. I bet those are old rear-projection TVs

They sure as hell aren't CRTs. In any case, bigger isn't always better. Old rear-projection TVs are absolutely worthless.

There's a reason nobody wants them: they suck, for any purpose, including watching TV. And the lamp, in some cases plural. Some of them could be damaged by an Xbox or a playstation. Forget about hooking it up to your PC. Scanlines, flickering, poor viewing angle...

Burn them all. Leave us only with pictures.

In a word, yuck.
