There’s an interview with one of the researchers who found this on quirks and quarks last weekend. Quirks and quarks is a long running science show on CBC in Canada. Rather interesting, the scientist said at first they thought maybe the flood waters had washed the wood into that formation or something but there are apparently clear tool marks and signs it was deliberately formed.
Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000’s before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.
Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I’m loving it.
