I still have TWO of these suckers, both different models of the Sony Trinitron. I sleep next to one and use it as a night stand and the other is used as a monitor for a media PC in my art room and it's uh... That monitor's casing is umm... Is held partly together with gorilla tape and the colors are separating in one corner.

Good to know I'm literally within arms reach of a tiny reactor. I love them.

#also fun story.#i was putting in a window ac in my window #on my own mind you.#and I knocked over my curved lcd i use for my desktop somehow. and it feel forward onto my ihome alarm clock #and ipod classic #that broke cause LCDs are the most fragile fxcking monitors in existence #well not really but in comparison to crts and some Samsung phones I've owned it was #and of course more fragile than the ipod classic (still works PERFECTLY FINE by the way. apple go back to making things sturdy #but after removing the other things from the top of the CRT including my desktop #(I unplugged stuff don't worry. I'm not THAT careless. just careless enough to balance a monitor on top of a sony triniton facing my bed #in a way that can be easily knocked off lol)#so I move the CRT right? problem is I'm the only person moving it from in front of the window I'm putting the AC in #cause I have to block off the rest of the window- it's a big window #so I end up Knocking it over and it falls screen first on the floor of my room on top of chords and other junk that I need to clean up #I don't freak out too much mostly cause it's a glorified side table to me right now. i barely use it #just a little sad if it does break #I get the board in with much struggle with the ac and tack up the curtain so it isn't in the way #so I lift the tv/night stand and pop the control panel back into its spot #i hold my breath and it doesn't look like anything happened. same picture #meanwhile my monitor for my desktop is internally shattered #luckily i had an older back up monitor that uses the old blue display connectors.#But
