    It's easily the heaviest technology item I've ever seen. It's my parents old TV. it has left/right swivel buttons on the remote and has it's own subwoofer. I wasn't there when the movers moved the thing but I heard that it was an effort well beyond the other large items moved (a grandfather clock, several large glass cases.)

    Great S-video picture and great sound. Plus, it was the same TV I played early SNES games on.
    I'd love to see a picture of this TV!

    I've got my Commodore monitor stored safely in the basement and a Samsung 27" 4:3 HD CRT television in my game room. Picture on that Sammy looks awesome.

    I have a 26" RCA tv in my basement that I keep for light gun games as well as older consoles. I would love to find a nice 36 inch Sony Trinitron with component input. That would be the ultimate.

    How about CRT monitors? I can't bring myself to go LCD, since a well-tuned Trinitron beats an LCD in every way that matters. My 21" Dell Trinitron runs nearly any resolution I throw at it (including 1080P HD) without any scaling BS, it accepts nearly any refresh rate, it has no lag like all CRTs, and it has deep colors. And I paired this up with a twin, for twice the desktop space. It was awesome...until my second CRT broke a few days ago .
    Back to Craigslist I go...
