Cool that you got your tv back. I think it's amazing that you managed to find a shop that works on them!

It feels so good playing on that thing; using an upscaler is good, but nothing else is a CRT.
Congrats! I've experienced the same thing a few times, after retro gaming on an HDTV for a long period of time and then switching back to a CRT, you forget how much better it really is!Nemoide wrote:The #1 thing I'd tell anyone looking to get a CRT: unless you have a large house and have friends to help you move it, get one smaller than 27" - bigger might sound nice but it's a PAIN to move and is SO LARGE that it can really be tough to make room for it. I would happily trade mine for a 24" or 21" set.
Ugh, tell me about it. 27" is my limit for what I care to move by myself. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with my 32" Trinitron. It's too heavy for me to lift by myself, I've been moving it around with a handtruck. I really don't have the room for it, and I think I need to get rid of it.
