Free widescreen CRT TV

[Cthulhu Calamari]

It's not from me, but while walking my dog I keep seeing a widescreen CRT w/ VGA & display port inputs sitting at the corner of 45th & Chester (just off Fraser), in Vancouver. I don't have any of my old consoles at home ATM, but it's a drag to see it going to waste when so many people are looking for CRTs for old games, and wanted to let the forum know, so that someone could make use of it.

 

Again, it's not me who put it out there, so don't contact me for any further info about it. The sign says it works, but it got rained on a bit yesterday, so I dunno. When I notice that it's gone, though, I will post that and close this topic.

 

Cheers.

1) I doubt it has DisplayPort

2) Even if it was rained on, it's probably fine, just let it dry out before you power it on.

Already taken, thanks for the deets.

You the one who contacted them on Craigslist? I went out to take a pic of the I/O and the (former) owner said someone was coming tomorrow morning, but that it was still first-come-first-serve. (It's still out there, BTW.)

 

Sorry, I meant DVI-D In. Here's the actual I/O:

Despite what Potato*Salad said, the TV is still there, if anyone still wanted it.

Damn, I'd take that in a heart beat.

Ah man, I want that.

It's driving me bananas that it's just sitting there, I can't use it, and nobody in Van wants to pick it up.

You could pick up a raspberry pi and run retropie on it and hook it up to the CRT.

OK, y'all. While walking the dog today, I finally saw that it is officially gone. I hope someone is using it to enjoy input-lag-less retro gaming.
