I remember when my parents offered to trade me their 32" Phillips-Magnavox for my puny little 27" because they were "trying to downsize". I felt so fuckin cool playing Max Payne and Fable on my original Xbox.

I bought my first tv when I was around 18. 32" Sanyo Flatscreen CRT. it replaced an old 13" Orion I had been gifted years before.

The color, image, just the quality of that TV was fucking AMAZING. It made every game beautiful. I wish I still had it tbh. I have a basement now that I would love to turn into a retro gaming lounge.

I also had a ViewSonic G225fb for my desktop I got for free from work. dumbasses had no clue it was 1000x better than the standard LCDs they replaced it with. 2k 120hz refresh in 2007-8. couldn't beat it.

Those Viewsonic CRT monitors were amazing. I got one cheap from someone that was "upgrading". As if you could upgrade from a Viewsonic in the early 2000s. That thing was a beast. By far the largest and heaviest monitor I've ever had.

There was a terrible period where pretty much every LCD screen you could get was 1080 horizontal lines. My two LCD monitors are from not long before that time. One is starting to fade and it's nice to know that when I need to replace it I will be able to get something that is at least as good.

My friends parents had a 32" CRT in their living room on a massive stand and us kids had to lay right in front of it when watching TV which was always a little terrifying because it would have crushed us to death had it ever fallen.
