The two most recognizable types of electron tubes are vacuum tubes and cathode ray tubes. Vacuum tubes are electronic devices that control electrical signals, while cathode ray tubes are used in older television and computer monitors to display images.
Some early flat screen TVs used cathode ray tubes, but the flat faced tubes were harder to make and heaver than the older curved faced tubes. When newer designs (e.g. plasma, LCD, LED) came out that naturally produced flat screens and were lighter weight than cathode ray tubes, they rapidly made flat screen cathode ray tube TVs obsolete.

Flat panel televisions have been very popular for the past several years. Flat panel televisions replaced televisions with picture tubes called cathode ray tubes.
Yes, you can hang a TV over a fireplace safely as long as you follow proper installation guidelines and ensure that the heat from the fireplace does not damage the TV.

There is no such thing as a "gaseous liquid". There is a state of matter called a GAS and a state of matter called a LIQUID and matter can move between these states. Further, Television tubes contain a vacuum.
If it is a very old TV, more than likely it contains vacuum tubes that have gone bad. Vacuum tubes work by deflecting electrons inside a glass tube. This requires the tubes to be heated, with a small internal heater. The tubes have to warm up for them to work. This process should only take a minute or two. If it is taking hours the heaters are bad, or they arn't getting enough power to warm the tubes properly.
