Y2K would have been CRTs. But it's not like kids will know that.

Hey we had flat screens back then, they just took up the whole floor space and it took 2 people to move those projection TVs

Laptops also had LCDs. Just don't move your mouse too fast or the screen can't keep up and it'll disappear

They did, but you had to pay a pretty penny to have one of those

Maybe even split-flap displays, or printed advertisements
