    I bought my first tv when I was around 18. 32" Sanyo Flatscreen CRT. it replaced an old 13" Orion I had been gifted years before.

    The color, image, just the quality of that TV was fucking AMAZING. It made every game beautiful. I wish I still had it tbh. I have a basement now that I would love to turn into a retro gaming lounge.

    I also had a ViewSonic G225fb for my desktop I got for free from work. dumbasses had no clue it was 1000x better than the standard LCDs they replaced it with. 2k 120hz refresh in 2007-8. couldn’t beat it.

      Those Viewsonic CRT monitors were amazing. I got one cheap from someone that was “upgrading”. As if you could upgrade from a Viewsonic in the early 2000s. That thing was a beast. By far the largest and heaviest monitor I’ve ever had.
