Why does nobody talk about hitting 100k hours on a CRT monitor?

I just passed 100,000 hours on my Sony Trinitron from 1998. Still running strong. Everyone acts like CRTs die after 30k hours but mine is still sharp. I use it daily for retro gaming and even some word processing. Most people toss them way too early. Has anyone else got a display that just refuses to quit?

Ever accidentally left yours on for a whole weekend watching old Kung Fu flicks?

You ever get that feeling like your TV is just going to outlive you? Mine's a Trinitron too, probably been running longer than I've had hobbies. I'm half expecting it to start judging my life choices.
