Hmm... well, the Zapper certainly works on the TV I've tried it on, a late '90s one... there is one newer (just a few years old) CRT too though, hopefully it'll work on that one too.
I know about the 'doesn't work on LCD or plasma screen TVs' issue, but I wasn't sure exactly which ones were compatible and which weren't (whether all CRTs worked or not, that is)... it makes sense that newer ones, like CRT HDTVs, would have issues, if the issue is resolution and scaling. The gun needs that flash to happen at exactly the right timing for it to recognize it...
