For me, the CRT is the centerpiece of my setups. Its not the same without it.
I have an rca 20" , Samsung 14", and a sansui (orion) 27". All have component. And a Sony wega projector TV that actually has the best projector TV picture ive seen.
I just gave my trusty 26" Sharp to a friend. Had her 20 years. Only had composite though. Great sound.
A friend had me help an elderly person take out 4 of them recently for a curbside pickup. I was very tempted to take them home to test them out, but the owner was kinda hoarder-y and I didn’t want to risk them having roaches or something in them. I have 0 CRTs though. I just deal.with the shittier graphics. I’m in a HCOL area, and space is limited, so that was another reason I didn’t pull the trigger - CRTs take up a metric fuckton of space.
It was on a fairly busy street, and I went by later that day and they were gone. (The curbside pickup was supposed to be the next day) I’m sure someone with an eye for retro gaming grabbed them up. Hopefully they didn’t go to waste.
