Should I pick up this Sony Trinitron?

[xelement5x]

What about this one?

Has coax, s-video, RCA and RGB inputs with remote.

Pretty sure that must be component, not actual RGB.

I have had a pair of Sennheiser HD600 for 15 years now as my main headphones. To say that I have got my moneys worth is an understatement. I use headphones a lot and have calculated that they have been on my head for around 2 or 3 years The funny thing is taking account the inflation they have remained very similarily priced for the past 15 years, I think I paid 200e in 2002.
Expensive spare parts and fragile standard cable are my only complaint but its not that big issue anymore, you can get fairly good quality ear cushions from China and use the more durable HD650 cable.
I sometimes lust over the HD800s but the high initial cost and especially the "running cost" (meaning replacement ear cushions etc.) are kind of deal breakers for me.
I also have a pair of HD580s that I got cheap used as a spare set and numerous Porta Pros.

Very likely the person is just saying RGB because of the colors of the connectors.

Oh and back to the screen size thing. I was in a thrift a little bit back and was looking at their smaller tvs, including an 8-inch set. I think I will definitely be fine to game on this 9'' PVM until I can find a bigger one. 240p stuff only though.

Probably depends where you are at financially. I have no regrets. But yeah it's a lot to pay for headphones. I paid $1349 and I can't imagine they are much less anywhere for a legit pair. The pair you have is a damn fine pair in that price range imo.

A good pair of headphones is your best friend. Provides tunes, drowns out the psychos, keeps your ears warm, everything.

Thrilled with the monitor, played quite a bit of Zeroigar on it tonight. Will definitely try to find a bigger one.

This is so damn true.

Something very interesting popped up locally. I will update when I get (or don't) it.

I told you it would happen once you stopped taking the lithium.

It called an "erection".

Dibs on the lithium.

I went near ROFLMAO's neck of the woods and picked up a Sony 14M4U. It's in fantastic shape and hadn't been used in 10+ years (video production/editing studio). He also had some 20s but those sold within an hour of the CL posting (lol).

I didn't hear back from the PVM guy who sorta gave me the run around, but today I went out and I got a JVC D-Series 27" for free.  I'm pretty happy with it, got my Saturn and Super Famicom connected to it via Scart -> component and they look decent.  I was struggling for a little bit to get the picture to look just right until I noticed (like 15 minutes later) that the red component cable had fallen out of my component/scart converter.  Plugged it back in and everything went from looking dull and colorless (which I presumed was the TV's fault at first) to bright and clear.  Next I want to get my PCE setup going, then after that maybe genny/feka CD.

I'm sure others will have different opinions but I have not been happy with any of the Sony Trinitron CRT televisions that I have owned. they all looked pretty crapy with S-Video compared to other CRT televisions that I've used. then again this could probably have to do with the year and model. Toshiba is my CRT television brand of choice.

with that being said any CRT television will probably look better on composite video than what you are using now. Also, is it weird that I get angry when I see pictures of people playing anything 32 bit or older on a newer TV.

I've had very good experiences with Toshiba and JVC. I'm all Sony (on CRTs anyway) right now, but it's just coincidence and what was available easily for cheap. I think Sony gets put on a pedestal due to name recognition.

I can't say I've used enough SVideo to comment on that. PC-FX looks great with Svideo on this PVM though.

I recently swapped out my 20" Sony WEGA for a 27" Toshiba. The Sony is great for lugging around, and has a fantastic picture, but the Toshiba looks just as good, imo, and has more inputs. And it still has that slick 16:9 mode for widescreen games and DVDs!

And to throw some more Sennheiser love out there, I have a pair of HD 380s at work and love them.

UPDATE: I think I'll buy Sennheisers for Father's Day.
