I finally found my first trinitron and It looks amazing. Composite never looked so good!

Quick question: is it normal for these to take like 10 seconds to turn on?

Got this lil 13 Trinitron from goodwill for just $5. It was really dusty and still needs some cleaning but it works amazingly.

At first I was not going to get it because it’s a flat screen but I decided to try it out and I’m glad I did because despite the bad reputation flat screen CRTs have this looks great! I love the style of the cabinet too, not just that completely boring mid 2000’s silver. Plus the little flap is cool with a hidden extra input, I don’t usually see multiple inputs on this small of a TV.

I really wish it was more portable though, it’s surprisingly heavy even compared to my other 13 inch CRTs and doesn’t have a great built in handle. I’d like to take this to work with me but I’m worried I’m going to drop it. 🫤 It’s also really long, not much more than my either CRTs but enough to be awkward.
