      I just made a comment about a guy I know looking for this.

      He’d pay more than that. He’s got the whole set of these for whatever reason.

      He’s too young for it to have any nostalgic value lol.

      that might be the novelty value of it but I doubt it cost much when it was new.

                No, an argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

        It was a limited edition promo release, so it’s definitely a collectable now.

        Also as CRTs become more and more rare as more of them die off and new ones typically aren’t manufactured anymore, it’s not surprising that the prices are just skyrocketing lol

          For some reason I find it weird that Shrek coincided with CRTs. Not sure if it’s because I tend to think of Shrek as being more recent than he is, or that I think CRTs stopped being used earlier…

            I think it’s because CRTs seem like such a thing from the 80s, and Shrek is more recent than that, but Shrek and CRTs were both fairly common in the early 2000s.

          Why would anyone want a CRT TV though? We used to prefer CRT monitors for gaming because they had faster refresh rates, but that’s not really an issue for television, and gaming monitors have superior refresh rates now.

            For older retro-style game consoles, a CRT still provides a better display experience, on LCDs you get smuging/bluring that just wasn’t present on CRTs for these older consoles. An LCD etc just doesn’t do them justice the way a CRT does.

              Oh that’s true. I tried to play some old Nintendo games on my Switch, using my 65" OLED flat panel TV and it was horrible.
