I don’t understand. You doubt that LCDs are less bulky than CRTs? How is that possible?

Because we were talking about how much space they take up in a shipping container, not in your living room. That means comparing the boxes they ship in, not the tv themselves.
CRTs were often deeper than they were wide, they were incredibly bulky in all dimensions.

It's not as if CRTs didn't also have package and padding.
