Do-it-yourself flat-screen TV

You too can make a flat panel TV out of your old CRT.

Irish Flat Screen TV

Looking to impress your BFFs with a ginormous flat-panel TV, but not too keen on shelling out a few thousand bucks for the privilege?

You could go with the 42-inch plasma that Vizio is selling for under $1,000. Or you could take the do-it-yourself approach to a giant CRT, like this guy.

U.K.-based Pocket-lint dubs it the "First Irish Flat Screen TV," though the joke may be slightly lost on a U.S. audience since snarking about the Irish fell out of favor here more than half a century ago. But it seems any country could replace "Irish" with its favorite local cultural stereotype.

Just ask Borat.
