I’ve got a 27” CRT right next to my 65” LG OLED C9 (which is starting to feel ancient, too).

It sits in a cabinet that currently holds an NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and PS2.

It doesn’t get a ton of playtime, but when my now 21- and 18-year-old sons were young, I’d play on them quite a bit (they were already retro even then), and as they got older, they would too.

My oldest is particularly fond of the retro consoles and playing on the CRT, so he’ll hop on it when he gets the itch for something retro.

I feel like there’s a charm that will never fade, not only with retro consoles, but also playing them on a CRT.

I’ll never get rid of our CRT.

My oldest son wouldn’t let me, even if I wanted to.
