Those things are still top quality, for retrogamers looking for authenticity in how the pixel art in their old games gets rendered. High-quality CRTs need to be found a good home, not discarded.

Working ones are getting harder to find (and thus more expensive) and are impractical for a lot of people.

At least CRT shaders have come a long way (in particular, RetroCrisis has some fantastic ones for RetroArch: https://github.com/RetroCrisis/Retro-Crisis-GDV-NTSC) so we can at least make retro games look more CRT-like.

I had one of those bad boys for years. It was the best.
