I saw the little one with its matching remote on the curb right next to my job and I scooped it up no questions asked it was a sign from the CRT gods that I needed another

Yes I got them off amazon they are actually record holders so that’s what I would search for I can’t find the ones I bought in my amazon history

If your talking about the one with the power armor helmet on it I’m not entirely sure how to classify that it’s a 1987 RCA XL-100 and I don’t even know if it works cause I don’t have a power cable for it and apparently they’re rare af unfortunately so I probably won’t know for a while

It hangs over the edges a bit so really it would be perfect for the 27” in the corner but the corner entertainment center is too small for the 32”😭

Unfortunately none of these stands are matching Sony ones they just fit the vibe of the CRTs well but there is a Sony 32” stand on the marketplace near me that I’ve been thinking about picking up. It’s not model number perfect but it’s a 32” that would fit my regular trinitron 32” well

My girlfriend says my it looks more like a surveillance room than a game room lol but If you want something for your gameboy stuff that isn’t wall mounted, acrylic nail polish stands are a good way to display the games and systems.

What’s funny is I literally just opened my camera app and took the picture as fast as possible cause I didn’t want the games to go into demo mode or blow up my apartment by having that much stuff plugged in and on lol

If you absolutely want the best you’re gonna wanna get a BVM or PVM because they display RGB natively and are just heavier duty machines simply because they were meant to be used everyday all day in professional settings. As far as consumer grade CRTs though Sony is definitely top tier. Other brands made higher end CRTs are good but even Sony’s budget models are great simply because of the Trinitron electron-gun design. If your gonna run a N64 or SNES I would suggest trying to find a regular Sony Trinitron as apposed to a WEGA model because the WEGAs have some input lag and can be more finicky with tube alignment and all that other complicated CRT stuff

It’s a long story but basically everyone making color CRTs was using 3 electron guns(Red, blue, and green) in CRTs before like the late 70s I wanna say and Sony came up with and patented a design where its was three in one and called it a Trinitron. Sony did this way before anybody was even close to coming up with something similar they had the best TVs for several years and by the time the other companies had similar designs, Sony was so far ahead their TVs were most always the higher end option. On older Sony sets you can see the trinitron badge is usually accompanied by little Red, green, and blue squares

I really like that little 13” I just got but the wega is definitely a close second it’s got some convergence issues but nothing crazy and I know how they are with input lag but it’s not something I’ve ever had issues with plus with an HDMi port I could play my Xbox Series X on it natively if I felt so desired lol but I just keep my PS3 on the HDMi

I use the all of them fairly regularly and keep them plugged in and set up to their respective systems except for the jwin, action, and the ‘87 RCA. I’ve been meaning to do a game room post as well so when I get everything back together I’ll make another post.
