I was just in two different goodwills and was amazed at how overpriced the god awful furniture was. I'm talking stuff I wouldn't subject a coaster to touching. There's a Big Lots right up the street from there and for an extra $100 you can get a brand new couch vs goodwill's bodily fluid buffet.
Goodwill by my place is pretty cheap. I found a 19-21 inch Trinitron for $19.99. Didn't buy it though. Maybe I should go grab it.

Thanks but that was sometime ago I wanted some thoughts about topic.
Ended up getting 27inch JVC for $25 bucks.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

I remember when my dream TV was a 27" Mitsubishi. Those things had 800 lines of resolution. It didn't matter that even laserdisc only output 425 lines, I wanted one. This would have been around 1990.

I'm regretting not getting a 25" Trinitron at Goodwill a few months ago. It was flatscreen and had component and S-video, but $60, and between space issues and not needing one I decided to pass and show up early four days later on half off day.... and of course it was gone.

Quick question: what's better in terms of picture quality (not necessarily features); a 1998 standard definition XBR200 or a 2002 FV300?

Complete model numbers? If both are SD CRTs then probably the newer one.

I think you mean 24" but yeah, I have this set and it's a nice size for retrogaming.
