It's blurrier than I remember but that could just be this particular tv. It definitely needs adjusted but it didn't come with the remote and there's no menu button on the tv itself. It still looks way better than on an HDTV. And the cgi movies in FF8 and 9 look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeRoamingVapor Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 20 dollars is a fair price for old tech like that. Good TVs to keep around for old media, especially light gun games and rare anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real_AirCooledGirl Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 The only way I'd buy an old CRT TV is if I had light gun games. Even then, space is at a premium in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never go to Ebay for a TV like that. Not because they aren't good or anything, but thrifting is usually a common way to find stuff like that at a decent price, especially where I live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunStarHero Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Recently got a CRT with a VCR/DVD combo off Craigslist for $25 and everything works so I was stoked. Happy to hear you got one, as well. I love old media and have several hundred VHS tapes, including a ton from Japan. Even got a refurbished Sony VCR from a Japan for cheap at a great price. Really want to get one of those weird Blu Ray/DVD/VHS players and a laserdisc player, too. Gotten really lazy with it lately but I was preserving old media and want to continue doing so. Got tons of stuff that's not available anymore, some not even as rips or anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real_AirCooledGirl Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I got rid of all my old VHS tapes a long time ago. Once my grandparents gave me a TiVo for Christmas one year, it was out with the VCR. I haven't looked back. As soon as I got a Blu-ray player, I retired my old DVD player. I like to keep current with technology to a point, but I also make that shit last. I still don't own any game systems newer than the original Wii and mostly play PC games these days.
