Ironman273 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Wow! I don't, but I remember when I got my 21" IBM Trinitron to upgrade my 17" monitor many years ago. I thought it was the ultimate in monitors. I almost wiped out carrying it up the stairs it was so heavy and unwieldy... http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/IBM-P260-Flat-Black-21-inch-FD-Trinitron-Monitor-Refurbished/563144/product.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian M. Veteran Posted August 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2014 I still have a couple of small CRT monitors up in the loft as spares, that's about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sat in my closet for years after I quit using it because I dreaded carrying out to get rid of it. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 some friends of mine keep a few smaller ones, to play older consoles. i see no other purpose, Yeah, I read the wiki pages about them because I thought old consoles were the only reason anyone would want one but apparently there are other reasons and industry which use them.

Setnom Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes, there's still 3 CRT TVs in my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 All 3 of the TV's I currently use are CRT and I have 2 others just setting around. 1 of those was used strictly for the kid to play games on, but he doesn't use that one anymore. Of the 5 desktop computers I have, 3 are still using CRT monitors. All of them work just fine, so, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Not a darn thing wrong with them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanboy89 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have an old 19" Dell Trinitron that I picked up for free a few years back. I don't use it, but keep it around because it's awesome high resolution. I also have a few older Macs (iMac and eMac) that have built-in CRTs. Again, I don't use them very often.

Anibal P Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Last year I finally pitched out the 19" Dell CRT crap monitor that was still hanging around, it was good when I got it in 04, but it was quickly replaced with a half decent flat panel, they're useless in the consumer market and slowly dying off the few manufacturing applications that still haven't upgraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Only glass CRT left in the house that's still in use is a little one in my daughter's bedroom. Got an old ViewSonic 22" under the test bench, "just in case", not that I'd want to lift that thing anymore at my age. Everything in the house/office otherwise is all LCD panels.

veternan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have a 21" Panasonic CRT TV in my bedroom :shiftyninja: Using for nothing... just it's there I hope to find a way to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yup -- Mag 17 inch. Better picture actually then poor excuse for HD my Asus has. If I had known, never would have bought my Asus, sight unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Two CRTs left - 27" Sanyo (guest bedroom) and 32" SONY Trinitron WEGA (family room) - that's it. The FPTVs are 32" Emerson (kitchen/breakfast nook), 40" Sony BRAVIA (my bedroom in the basement), 32" Samsung (upstairs sitting room off the master bedroom), 40" Samsung (master bedroom) and 55" Samsung (basement media room) - the last two are "smart" TVs with wireless capability. Both tower PCs use FP displays - 23" and 24" Acer flat-panels (XH233H.bmid and XH243H.bmid - the only difference between them is screen size).

User6060 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The living room in the original part of my house has a antique wood cabinet that houses a 32" CRT that still works nice and goes with the decor of the room. The renovation has the living room with the HDTV and 5.1 set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Have 4 large crt monitors and a Sony crt HDTV in storage, and a 14" crt preview monitor in a video edit bay, but otherwise it's all panels. Lots of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
