Congrats, you admitted you're poor. I'll be sticking with my CRT, the intended experience for the user.

CRTs became poorfag tier the moment flat screen televisions became affordable 20 years ago.
You can also hook up and emulate using a real CRT if you wanted to btw.

Hipsters and other associated faglord idiots have caused it to circle back around to “this is totally a luxury/enthusiast item” especially since they don’t really make them anymore.

a quality crt shader on a good 1440p-4k (preferably oled too) monitor does pretty well alongside the real deal.
my pvm is really good and I find any excuse I can to use it BUT the difference in quality between it and the shader (on a good display) is negligible enough that if I didn't already have one sitting around I wouldn't bother buying one.
that's not even mentioning the sheer weight/sizes of some of the models you can get let alone the insane prices nowadays

my CRT TV has an HDMI input. I got it from my uncle and it's great. I have my gaming PC and PS4 hooked up to it.

I play games on original hardware and through a CRT but I also play the games through an emulator on my computer. I like both.
