Interesting. I meant CRTs. Maybe my memory is a bit rose tinted.

Still, I remember never having confusion about whether my CRT TVs where responding to the power on button press or not. There are plenty of times where I turn my current TV off since I think it didn't receive the first button press.

Most CRTs made an obvious _noise_ when turned on (actually, one of the curses of good high-frequency hearing was that they made an obvious noise for the whole time they were on, though I think a lot of people couldn't hear them after warmup). That helped, I suppose.

Exactly, feedback was immediate, which helps a lot with UX.
