If I remember correctly it wasn't until 2008 or 2009 when my family bought a flat screen for the living room.

When I first read the title of the thread, I wasn't sure what a CRT was! We call them "analogue TVs" here.  To answer the question, we upgraded to a flat-screen TV in Early 2008. I still remember the first time I turned on the LCD TV. I was amazed at how clear the picture quality was.

Anyways, it seems strange that you apparently call them analog TV over there when they aren't even the same thing. Analogue TV is simply the way that the signal is transmitted and doesn't really have much to do with the physical appearance of the TV, whereas a CRT is literally just how the TV processes that signal and displays it onto the screen. Just becasue you have a CRT, it doesn't always mean you have an analogue TV.

Ever!

Nice thread idea. We got our first one in late 2008, the second one was replaced in 2010, and the last one was replaced when analogue shutdown (December 2013)

My parents got one for their room in late 2007. We got one for the living room in late 2008. We got ours (me and my brothers' room) in late 2009. From then on, there were no more CRTs in our house.

Well, the main lounge room CRT TV in our household was replaced when we moved house back in 2005/06. But to answer the question at hand, I replaced my CRT TV in my bedroom back in 2009.

The SydneyCityTV household replaced all it's CRT or "analogue" TV sets with flatscreens back in 2012.
In 2018, I'd imagine that a majority of TV viewers are watching on flatscreen 16.9 sets although I'm sure there's still a few out there using old 4.3 CRT sets for their viewing.

I’d hate to see how it looks for those people. You’d missed parts of the picture due to overscan.   Btw, I like “SydneyCityTV household” lol!
