About a week or so ago my main TV that I've been gaming on since the early days of the PS2 finally bit the dust, kind of. I could have fixed it with ease but I would have needed to buy a new socket set as my smallest socket was still too big for the hex nuts my old CRT had.
Enter Goodwill. Well, I entered Goodwill and finally decided to really check out the CRT collection they've been building. My dream CRT, a Sony Trinitron with a nice stand and glass shelves attached to it, popped up at another thrift store, it was not for sale at all. Sad times.
That said I found a nice JVC CRT that has ports that are a massive upgrade compared to the S-video peak of my old TV. This one, as you can see in the pictures below, has all the ports we as collectors want, component, s-video, 2 composite inputs, and even an RF input.
Here are some pictures and fun facts for the old TV.

The last game it played was Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. This was the first game the JVC played.

Such beautiful picture quality. Even composite looks better on the JVC than the Sanyo before it passed.

The Sanyo's ports, as you can see the best option on this TV was S-video.

Dat component. Mmm. I can't wait to get a converter box now!

The best part for this upgrade was the price tag. $3.
