Sorry, it's not 50mm thick, it's 358mm thick!

(As a reader comment at Engadget says,
the angle of the picture shown above
just makes it look thinner than it really is.)

it better be priced $50 or less, cus there really is no reason to go with a radiation tube these days. can it swivel into portrait mode? can it be mounted on the wall? does it weigh less than 5 pounds? does it have features like built in usb hub or speakers? kinda hard to justify it on the basis of color.

Why get a CRT? CRTs are still popular within a few niches, specifically graphic designers, gamers and videophiles. I don't give a shit how much it ways, I don't care if I can't mount it on the wall, I don't care if it weighs 10kg. If the picture good, that's all that matters. Nowadays, a CRT will beat pretty much any LCD quality wise.
