Overall: Just a little concern about the article, but otherwise this looks good to go. The picture works well to draw readers in. Sounder Bruce 01:31, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've now removed URLs to YouTube videos. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 06:42, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Those weren't the issue; the links to a non-notable organization (Skank Mods) should be removed. Sounder Bruce 22:48, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed those then. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 06:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce:: Has the review been concluded? I didn't receive a final checkmark so I'm unsure. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 09:32, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this one got buried on my watchlist; in the future, the initial reply should have a ping to make sure it's seen.

Looks good to go now. Sounder Bruce 04:07, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce and Howardcorn33: Was CRT not used in Rear-projection televisions? The article uses "tube" which is almost certainly true, but "display" is a bit more ambiguous even though the book is using that word. Can I suggest a wording similar to the article? If there are objections just strike this or ask me and I'll strike it:

ALT1 ... that the Sony PVM-4300 (pictured) has the largest cathode-ray tube ever made?

Also, I love the cat for scale, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 06:14, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find this alt acceptable. A better source for the DYK hook would be Poelman 2024, which says "The largest CRT

ever produced." ―Howard • 🌽³³ 13:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
