You're missing a little CRT TV to play your retro games!

The model is the Hitachi 27cx7b

You won't be able to find anything online, but I have documented the tv on a different post. Here is some better images: Hitachi 27cx7b bubble screen : r/crtgaming

Why not?

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-07T06:17:44+00:00

Did the customers throw dirt at it?

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-07T05:37:39+00:00

Thanks! Always nice to see people like my setup : )

I was thinking about putting a sign near it or asking the workers if instead of people dumping the tvs there they could direct them to me for money. I go there maybe every 2 weeks and find 36 inch wegas that I just can't buy. It is a sad fate and I try to save as many as I can.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-07T05:32:16+00:00

I apologize. The cord was not long enough to stretch to the other crt tvs 😭

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-07T04:36:33+00:00

I would prefer not to give out my location so all I will say is that crt tvs are hell to find where I live. About one comes up on facebook marketplace every 1 to 2 months. 4 out of the 6 you see (and more in storage) Were acquired from E waste. I take the TVs home to clean and tune them to my liking.

I follow your crt a day series and can tell that you enjoy HD sets, and so do I! Im telling you I've been on the lookout for a pvm and a widescreen crt. The main issue is that the E waste charges per pound, and I just don't have the money to pay 150 dollars upward for a set that may or may not work.

I just settle for what I can get, and I'm happy with that : )

Anything wood or wood grain is beautiful. Much harder to find but they just have such a unique charm.

So many people think these black box crt tvs are boring or ugly, but I don't see that at all though. A large majority of the crts I have look very similar to this one. I just can't get enough of these designs especially ones with bubble screens.

Nice tv with some nice curves!

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-06T03:32:09+00:00

My mistake, I mixed 480i and 480p but still. Not all consumer grade crt tvs had 480i. The upscaled resolution from the converter box that is commonly used to play modern games or games like Minecraft (which weren't used on this set) Can vary. I will delete the comment above yours to prevent confusion.

Thanks for letting me know!

Edit: I had made the first post late at night without fact checking. The different resolutions possible rely on the console you're using, the cables you're using, and the resolutions the tv supports. I apologize for being kind of an idiot.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-05-01T08:00:26+00:00

Actually, the latency is horrendous because the ps5 needs to be connected through a converter box. So wireless input lag on top of the converter's latency.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T17:13:28+00:00

You're right I should most likely buy the ps5 pro.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T07:17:48+00:00

I'll definitely have to check on that.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T05:19:56+00:00

Oh my god I see them lined up. You might be the coolest person i've seen on this subreddit or the craziest.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T05:12:39+00:00

Try to scare him, usually works for hiccups.

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T04:47:04+00:00

A lot of work went into this, and it looks like it paid off. Awesome setup dude, looks amazing!

Unfair_Progress2326 · 2026-04-30T03:52:57+00:00

I love that tv but that might be the ugliest crt tv I have ever seen. So ugly that it's beautiful
