400+ pound television? My spine spontaneously slipped three disks just by watching this video
Fucking Sony Trinitron man. Heaviest damn monitor I’ve ever had to deal with.
They were so good though.
They seem to all be lifting it properly in the picture, though. Putting the strain in their backs, not on their knees, while making quick, jerking, twisting motions.
My first job in IT 20-some years ago began swapping their CRTs for LCDs and I got to take home a Dell rebadge of a 19” Trinitron. It did 1600x1200 at 75hz. It had a fantastic picture for gaming. I can’t for the life of me remember what happened to it.
After the divorce, my dad got a top of the line desktop with the biggest crt monitor is ever seen at that point. It must have been 19-20". He didn’t know shit about computers, but he knew he wanted the biggest ones when he walked into best buy.
He never did a damn thing with that powerhouse but watch porn, a fact I unfortunately stumbled upon when clearing all the malware from shady Y2K era porn sites.
Folks, never Ever learn your folks sexual preferences.
This is insane and awesome!
Totally random… but I just found a CRT Trinitron with original rabbit ears and I shit you not, the original Trinitron sticker on the front of the glass :o
Love shank and his videos, and this one was phenomenl. Truly showcases his passion and dedication for something few people would see worthy of saving.
Really great video! Glad the community was able to help this person out, love stories like this
This was an amazing watch. I’m going to crosspost to a few places to get more eyes.
I had one of those.
Edit: Y’all have exactly zero sense of humor. ZERO!
You had a TV that cost $40,000 ($100,000 adusted for inflation) and only a dozen or so were ever made?

I had a TV that weighed 400 lbs. Probably more.
