That was my PC monitor for a few years, really nice colors compared to the new monitor I just bought
Comment on I made a simple display stand for every video game cartridge I own

If anyone doubts OP’s nerd cred, that appears to be a Sony Playstation 3D Display in the background, there. That is definitely a niche piece of gaming history.

That’s what I used it for too. Still would be using it if the screen didn’t periodically reboot while using it.

Oh, mine does that too, I thought it was the cable or something. Anyways it’s my secondary monitor now so I dont really care.

That’s a thermal problem they all have. Ruin your collector’s value by hacking a hole on the back and adding a fan over the mainboard and it’ll stop doing that.
I know somebody who also uses one as a PC monitor still.

Yeah that totally makes sense. That said it’s more of a prop now, and it’s not on long enough for it to have this issue.

Fun story about it. When I bought it I was selling games and was buying from a guy who had a tub full of Skylander figures and games.
Bought it for the price of the games, made a profit, kept the TV for myself since it was so much better than anything I had before. And I didn’t know what to do with the skylanders. Apparently they had value since a family member was able to offload them all.
