     @Vril_Oreilly @Elliptica @a7 @Royper I looked into buying a CRT TV to play old games on.

     I ultimately decided against it because I didn't want to have to move a heavy piece of shit used only for one thing that I could emulate on a LCD monitor with whatever effects in the emulator to make it look like a CRT anyway.

     it ain't worth it. I don't miss the fumes or the whine of old CRTs either.

     @Royper @Vril_Oreilly @a7 I think it's just objectively worse in every way, and not even the nostalgia people would argue against it.

     @lichelordgodfrey @Vril_Oreilly @Elliptica @a7 @Royper Dude just ask old people, send out feelers and tell grandma "hey if anyone has a nice old heavy box TV let me know, I'll come take it off their hands"

     There's plenty just moldering away in old lady basements, they don't go downstairs in old age anyways. We tossed a giant, vintage flatscreen projection TV from the 90s when moving a neighbor once, those were amazing back in the day
