I stupidly got rid of my 32" Samsung flat EDTV (540p) CRT about 6 years ago. Yes it was 200lbs and a pain in the ass. But it played everything below HD absolutely beautifully and worked with every generation of light gun games from NES to OG Xbox. I regretted it from the moment I drove away from the ewaste drop off site. (but I had nowhere to store it in San Jose but a non-climate controlled garage). I managed to get a 37" ProScan standard def crt at a thrift store later. It's actually made by Technicolor and it's good, but not a flat glass and not quite as sharp as the Samsung. (no 540p). If any of you do decide to get rid of your CRT (working or not) there is a Facebook group "The CRT Collective" I recommend posting there. Chances are someone there will gladly take it off your hands and put it to work. https://www.facebook.com/groups/444560212348840/ Almost as penance for literally throwing away my Samsung I am committed to keeping the ones in my arcade alive by whatever means necessary: Most of them have very little burn in. |
