What do you think was the last year where you could've owned a CRT/cube TV without being embarrassed about it?

I’d say 2007, the last year you really saw CRTs in stores.

By 2009, a flat screen is mandatory in your household.

By 2009, a flat screen is mandatory in your household. Yeah, and that’s yet another thing that makes 2009 feel “non-2000s”. Cause contrast it with 2003 for example, where plasma screens were seen as the new cutting edge technology rather than LCDs. CRTs were still the norm, and were mostly the big flat Sony Wega style TVs. That’s the kind of TV I associate with the 2000s, much like I associate the 90s with curved black plastic style CRTs, or the 80s with boxy metallic TVs.

2009/2010
You are underestimating how many people had CRT sets even in 2011 lol ( because they still worked)

I would say we passed that 50/50 threshold between CRT and LCD TVs some point in 2009. But in terms of acceptable/still common, I would say 2011.

What often happened was that these TVs became "bonus" TVs, given they still worked. So you might find one in a basement, spare bedroom, etc. by the early 2010's. You still might.

2012 or 2013. Several people I knew then still had them in their living room, the last nail in the coffin was when the PS4/Xbox One released in Nov. 2013 with only HDMI support.
