Playing on CRTs is something special, any console generation up to the ps2/xbox/gc and even the Wii would look excellent using S-video, scart or component (if possible). The experience just isn't the same with modern tvs, even with upscalers and retro tv filters etc, tho better than without.
Those can be worth a bit of money if you find the right buyer, rather then chucking em.Doing a bit of a clear out and found this bit of history sat in the back of a drawer..
It's a Maximus 360 Lizard & Scorpion 2. From back in the good old days when we had to probe DVD drives to get keys to hack our 360s firmware.
Since I'm supposed to be clearing things out this puppy is probably going to end up at the recycling centre

exactly, nothing really beats the CRT experience with older games/consoles it makes me really want to start preserving shit like this and older consoles because they're just too valuable and neat to me to inevitably go to waste.

Plugged my n64 into my 4k to play some OOT and it looked like garbage. It's the reason a bought a CRT.
If the tv has scart inputs it should play ntsc signal with no issues. Any plain consumer crt from the 2000's and on will probably have it (in the pal region). You really don't need a Trinitron or PVM/BVM just for that (play Ntsc games). But for other reasons? Better colors/ accuracy, minimum lag etc sure.
I try to buy hardware as much as I can, and if it's in affordable range, mostly consoles/handhelds/controllers & video cables (the ones i care for that is), as one day they won't be around anymore.. and rarely games because they're usually overpriced, unless it's something i really want to have physically, and it's affordable, and tbh i'd rather spend that money on hardware than giving to resellers/scalpers.. As It's always good to have spares, one day your main console kicks the bucket, for any reason, and you could either try get it repaired or sometimes you can't, either you wouldn't be so much reliant on just that piece of hardware, and you can grab the spare one from attic without any second guesses.
my main driving force to start collecting and preserving tbh.
Not gonna lie, it's a very cool looking keyboard.
