My dad was a big fan of Trinitrons. Both our first TV bought in the mid '80s, and the second one bought in the early 2000s after the first one died, were Trinitrons, as was our 17” PC monitor.

Last year I got bitten by the retrogaming bug and ended up getting now one, but two 17” Trinitrons, one for a MAME machine in our office's cantine, and one for my retro PC. Even after 25 years those beasts look gorgeous, old games really look great on them.

Two? I envy you.

I really wish I had the space for another CRT. One day I hope to have a second for two player time crisis.

As a kid, I had a Sony 20" Trintron KV-20EXR20 with the weird PiP feature. That was right about the era of the change from OTA NTSC to cable TV.

On the PC side, I had a Sony CPD-1304 Trinitron monitor, and later an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17 (with a Mitsubishi Diamondtron tube) which was possibly the finest CRT monitor ever made.
