  I remember being a kid in the 80s and being convinced that I had super hearing because I could hear a tv turn on/off from anywhere in the house.

  Thanks for the memories. In the US I was part crew of a news broadcast and we had BIG CRTs - Mitsubishi, IIRC - behind bookshelf covers that scissor lifted up and down to expose the screen for anchor interview segments. &nbsp;Took several big beefy techs to move those sets back in the late 90s.

  My favourite aspect of that TV is the amount of inputs it has. You can never have enough inputs.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o7R8oJEZhY&amp;t=578">9:38</a> You&apos;re not supposed to connect composite if you have S-video connected because composite will interfere with S-video and like wise in vice versa. The picture quality will be off.

  We had a 40&quot; Mitsubishi TV in the US in the 1990s. &nbsp;My parents still had it until they moved two years ago. &nbsp;The thing weighed over 200 lbs.

  I am the proud owner of a Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-36XBR450 36&quot; CRT with DRC horizontal and vertical line doubling, two component and three S-video inputs. The Neo Geo CD through S-Video absolutely shines on this TV set.

  I had a 32&quot; Advent flat tube CRT. It took 2 massive guys with no necks to get it into my apartment. They were struggling, bulging neck veins and red sweaty faces. They asked where I wanted it. I said to put it in the entertainment center. They hurriedly shuffled over to it and tried to get into the TV section. &quot;Oh god! It won&apos;t fit!&quot; yelled one of the guys. They panicked and sat it on the floor. They both took several deep breaths and told me I was out of luck. They weren&apos;t going to pick it up again. If I didn&apos;t want it in the floor I&apos;d have to figure how to move it. They left. That TV kicked ass.

  I still keep a 34&quot; hitachi I managed to save/rescue from Goodwill while they were still accepting and selling them. One big reason? Rail shooters. A lot of tv and display makers brag about how fast they can make their panels, but not one of them will ever work with <i>any</i> of the light guns out there. <br><br>&quot;But there&apos;s the Sinden--&quot; <br>&quot;I&apos;m gonna stop you right there.&quot;<br>The problem with the Sinden, is it&apos;s $400 USD, and only works with Duck Hunt on real hardware. It does eff all for the other light gun games on &nbsp;the NES, or really any other platform.<br>I&apos;m talking House of the Dead (Saturn &amp; Dreamcast)<br>I&apos;m talking Time Crisis 1/2/3 (PS1/2).<br>I&apos;m talking Confidential Mission (Dreamcast).<br>I&apos;m talking Silent Scope (Dreamcast, and the port on OG Xbox).<br>Decades of great rail shooters completely ignored. That&apos;s my gripe. Why emulate them if I can play them on the real console with their associated gun? That&apos;s the gripe.

  Funny how today every TV under 50&apos;&apos; is considered tiny, while in CRT-era everything over 30&apos;&apos; was humongous.

  I had one massive SONY CRT like that in 2010. It was gifted to me by an ex-gf, she kept it from a mansion her mother sold. I finally moved it to my apartment, bought a Genesis second hand with Streets Of Rage 2 and we played the hell out of it with my friends. I attached a huge Pioneer club-grade stereo pair to it. It was like going back in time as if we were millionaires playing the Genesis lol

  I&apos;ll never forget when my dad came home and said &quot;I need your help with something in the truck.&quot;<br><br>35&quot; CRT Sony Trinitron. It weighed a metric ton. It was so bright. So big. So much nicer than those giant rear-projection tvs.<br><br>It literally drew a crowd from our neighbors 😂 Ah the early 90s ❤
