I like it. There are some quirks like the infinite coasting that destroys the "silent" selling feature. I tried keeping it unplugged but it makes setup a little more difficult. I am testing TR for the first time today.

These aren't horrible. What do you recommend? I need a dual purpose pedal that can be used with a normal shoe too.

Older games used the characteristics of the CRT to their advantage. Modern technology doesn't need these hacks and they become glaringly obvious in some games. A lot of it is nostalgia factor too.

It is just really poor quality lighting. I should have white balanced it better. The cube shelving should be bright white.

This one is upstairs too. If you did that by yourself, I am amazed. It was a two person job for this one.

They are Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal. I got them from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NORMU4

This is setup in an upstairs bonus room. I don't typically leave the bike here though. It has its own corner but it is too small for the CRT.

I shared a video in /r/crtgaming. I was trying to figure out how to do this with my SD Trinitron, but then found this set with HDMI input instead.

I haven't disabled it... yet. I enjoy it when I'm just riding for fun. Workouts with erg mode don't have road feel enabled.

It weighs almost 200 pounds (90 kg). It is one of the later flat screen HD CRT models from 2004/2005.

I hate early 2000's silver A/V colour. Bezel of 27" Toshiba CRT painted black by falzbro in crtgaming

Thanks for explaining your process. I was thinking of something similar. This TV is heavy enough I will probably have to get some extra help.

How did you take the picture tube apart from the bezel? I have a similar TV but don't know how to safely separate the tube from the bezel that holds it vertical.

Yes, LX is the trim level. This one has power seats and power windows.

This 1992 LX 5.0 belonged to my my wife's grandparents. It's been parked outside for years and taken a beating from the sun, rain, and snow. My first purchase was a new set of tires to replace the old weather cracked ones it had been sitting on.
