    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.

        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.

      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.
