I upgraded the JBL speakers that looked like they had poop on them. These are shielded and don't affect the monitor at all. They sound great and decently match the pvm. They took up the space for my consoles so I'm in the process of rigging up some kind of shelving or converting the metal cabinet to have a set of shelves in it and the drawer in the bottom. It's very much WIP still but it's getting closer to how I want it. The shitty fluorescent light also washed out the picture on the monitor, looks better in person.

I also have a 27" SD trinitron, 19" APEX, 13" RCA, 8" PVM and a 13" BVM that are not pictured. I know I'm kind of a meme at this point and I am definitely hoarding them for the uncertain crt future and to set a few friends up. I think I'm done with getting CRTs at this point unless I find a 25" pro monitor for $100 or something. It's definitely stupid to have that many, but it's pretty fun when groups of friends or niece/nephew and their family come over. We can each play different systems or play something multiplayer on the big trinitron in the corner. I had an empty basement so at least it's something to do there now.

The only ones I paid anything for other than the pvm/bvm were the widescreen trinitron which I paid $40 two years ago just because I was impatient. I just have to get the HDMI port working on it when I have time to mess with it.
It actually has pretty minimal lag but it's mainly used for non /vr/ stuff and watching movies/netflix/hulu.

The black sharp is the one I've had since I was a teenager, I think I may have actually paid for it back then but it would have been under $100 since I worked part time and bought it myself. The rest were curb finds over the last couple years or free on craigslist.

Funny story, I actually like the picture on the silver sharp the most. It's colors are way more saturated and not as "proper" as the PVM, but they just pop for retro games, and of course it was a curb find lol.

Cool, the western one is good, definitely worth picking up if you find it.

Short story time. I bought LE at a pawn shop, iit was CIB and even the second orange controller in it's own box. I loved that thing, played with my cousins a lot. About a year later they wanted to borrow it. After about 3 months I asked for it back. My younger cousin had loaned it to a friend and it vanished. Younger cousin was telling the truth, the friend was a scumbag.

I don't have any hard feelings but I still miss that setup to this day.

Is that an SD Wega though? This is the standard sony trinitron tv that is used for the PS2 demopods, it's a KV-21FX30B, the big blue PS2 demopod has one as well.
