CRT

[Anonymous No.9126085]

imagine driving to work and finding this on the side of the road. which one do you put in your car?

[Anonymous No.9126090]

>>9126085
all of them since I drive an SUV

[Anonymous No.9126093]

The one on the left because I already have a TV but monitors are 100x harder to find for some reason and are more expensive when you do

[Anonymous No.9126097]

>>9126085
All of them. I went into a game store and they were selling them for like $200. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[Anonymous No.9126103]

I could probably fit all 3 of them in my car but one would have to be tied in the trunk. If I had to pick one though I'd take the curved trannytron unless it's composite only.

[Anonymous No.9126105]

I always check for built in VCR/DVD players. If there's none, then the number of inputs it has, most crts I've come across have two, possibly three at max.

If it's still a tie, then I'll take the black one. Black tvs look better than silver.

[Anonymous No.9126110]

Definitely the PC monitor, if that thing is as big as it looks it was probably cost an arm and a leg back when it was new. Then the flatscreen TV, then the one in the middle if I still have room.

[Anonymous No.9126121]

op here
I could only fit one in my car so I went for the silver Trinitron. I wanted the black one but it was just too huge and heavy to fit.
I'm super happy with my snag tho. I hope it works!

[Anonymous No.9126137]

Not a single one. I like old games because they are more fun than new ones, not as a way to escape from the present by building my childhood setup and therefore have no trouble playing old games on new hardware.

[Anonymous No.9126138]

>>9126085
That monitor is bigger than the fucking tvs?! I would grab that even if I was on foot (to be fair I already have the flat sony)

lol damn man I picked it up and I felt like it was bolted to the ground
I wish I could have grabbed the black Sony, but I am super happy with the smaller silver one.

[Anonymous No.9126167]

>>9126138
I think that is a TV. It's got speakers and that black rectangle on the front is probably an IR sensor for a remote.

Bro, i gotta scour the dump to find old crts and have self tought how to RGB mod these things.
That flat screen sony can be rgb modded with your eyes closed, the black one is pretty easy too. Mine is a KV-XF21M31.
Go save those other ones, i've had to drive 4 hrs beofre to get something half as decent.

None of them. I take a baseball bat and smash all of them to continue to reduce supply.

>>9126239
I can't fit them in my car man. I actually snuck out of work and went back to try to get the black one but it was too fucked up. I'm happy with the silver one.
come make the drive over here man.

Why can't you put them in some combination of one on the passenger seat, two in the back seats and/or one or two in in the trunk?

only one can fit in the back seat because of their size. and I tried passenger seat but it blocks my gear shift in every configuration.

The black Sony if it has s-video.
If not, the the far left if it has component.
If neither, then the small one on the right if it has component.

[Anonymous No.9126398]

>>9126093
Are you certain that is a monitor?
I thought it might be but the bottom panel doesn't seem monitor-like to me.

If it is a PC monitor then I agree it's the auto-take.

[Anonymous No.9126403]

>>9126398
it wasn't a monitor
if it's still there after work I can take a better photo of it

fuck this just gave me a recovered memory that I had that Trinitron up until like 11 years ago. I never thought much of it or realized it was a Trinitron until now. Never paid attention to the CRT scene but I know those are notable,

[Anonymous No.9126645]

>>9126085
whichever one supports 60hz
I fucking hate living in Australia

[Anonymous No.9126654]

>>9126085
I have terrible luck with CRTs, so i'd grab all three in the hope that perhaps one would actually function. I've found a Trinitron TV, a Trinitron Monitor, and a JVC I'Art over the last three-ish years. The JVC lasted about a week before it developed the worst pincushion i've ever seen. The trinitron monitor smelled like magic smoke when I turned it on, and the Trinitron TV I had to leave behind when I moved, though it had some issues and I suspect the tube was about to go kaput.

[Anonymous No.9126763]

>>9126645
Why?
Majority of TV’s support 60hz and NTSC

[Anonymous No.9126851]

There's also these two faggots in Brisbane who are my mortal enemies. These CRT scalping cunts travel around Brisbane and grab every CRT they can find for $0 to resell at $100+, and that's without RGB support or anything. Not that I'm interested in RGB but they're cunts. They have garages full of these things, I've never been more tempted to rob somebody

[Anonymous No.9126863]

I worked at a defense area and the science bros had CRTs as test equipment. I looked up the model numbers and they were all $1,000+ models even today.
same fucklers helped make the b2 bomber and moon lander so I'm not surprised they got the good shit.

[Anonymous No.9126869]

>>9126181
I use to live in Sydney. Can confirm these get chucked out all the time as I once got a near 100kg Sony titantron fo free. They were happy for me to take that beast off their hands. And I ended up chucking it on the streets when I moved.

I had seen a few randomly on the side of the road before but it was busy streets and I was going to work and I just couldn't grab it.
these ones I found today were on a quiet street and it was meant to be.

[Anonymous No.9126874]

>>9126872
Man I've never seen one on the road and I've driven through a lot of places. Don't see them in Brisbane, not on Logan, nor Ipswich. South East Queensland is fucked except maybe Gold Coast but I've never had a reason to go there

Brissy probably has high rent but Sydney is crazy expensive if you want to live around the city, east or north coast. Western syd is a bit cheaper but I wouldn't recommend it.

Maybe none or maybe all three work and give a good picture.

I love that this has turned into Australian crt hunting thread.
I casually look on FB marketplace and gumtree here in Brisbane and can confirm the scalpers are ruining it. Everyone trying to sell old consoles and crt for more then they're worth.
I did pick up from curb side collection an old Sony LCD 40inch that was top of the line a couple of weeks ago. I plan to use it for a ps3 when I get time to hack it.
Still looking for a crt for my N64...

Is there anyone who's interested in dead CRTs for parts/repair? I guess hardly anyone is interested in working ones, so probably not. I have a Loewe with RGB SCART that an heroed the other day, just decided not to turn on anymore. Feel kinda bad taking it to the dump since it's quite a high-end TV, but can't be bothered trying to fix it up.

Should have told them to fuck off and kept on walking with it. They'd probably beat you to death for threatening them with a heavy blunt CRT monitor.
