Compact Mac CRT - what are its power requirements?

Probably. It would be expensive at first or (OR!!!) someone wants to order a load of like 5000 of them...

I was noticing that a lot of them say "hotel TV" on them, I guess they expect hotels to still be using CRT TVs? IDK.

A few advertise different sizes of tubes, like you said, likely someone could convince them to build a tube. I wonder if these are FD Trinitron clones, if so, then that would be cool to have them build a few VGA (or digital input) computer monitors, maybe in a large size like 21-inches, or maybe build some 16:10 aspect ratio CRT computer monitors too. If we could get the price to similar levels of the CRT TVs, perhaps we could sell them as high resolution, high refresh rate (assuming the monitor has enough bandwidth), "gaming" monitors 😉 . If we got real fancy, we could even maybe include a scan doubler, that would draw two frames for every one frame sent in to the monitor (to allow for 60hz V-synced output from GPUs, but 120hz redraw rate on the tube)

Now this has seriously gotten off topic, I should move this to the lounge 😉
