Well guys, it's official. Off loaded the CRTs before the move.
My 17" VGA CRT made its way to JoeAwesome here on the forums. It's already in a clean arcade like setup. Awesome to see that sharp little guy being put to use.
My beast of a 27" Samsung Dyna Flat (component input) found a good home yesterday from a couple on reddit. The husband speed runs SNES games & the wife picked it up from me. Freeing space in my storage (climate control) unit and not making the moving cut. Apparently he's held a world record before in some category & is speed running RPGs now
. That last bit blew my mind.
Couldn't have found better places for them both!
Not counting childhood & youth... think I've owned 5 CRTs (+1 additional rear projection) as an adult since that ~2008 range when HD flat screen were becoming more prevalent. Thinning, re-arranging, moving, and re-buying CRT is a task lol, but I enjoyed it.
With the result upscalers are producing today (not to forget amazing emu) and my family moving into a new place ... highly likely my last CRT adventures. Going to arrange my new gameroom around scalers and emu.
It's been fun!
