what I like about this TV is that it supports HD definitions (480p for Dreamcast) but I don't know how old systems with 15khz CGA resolutions will look, can someone recommend this and how much do you think should I pay for this TV?
2$ plus tax
euro? australian or canadian dollars?..pounds??
Just so you know, the television weighs 140+ pounds.
huh?..luckily I have a friend who can lend me his truck..
I'd worry more about what you are going to set it on. ;)Quote:

I can find those all day for around $30-$50 US.
Lucky. These late CRTs are very hard to find here and the sellers always know this. I've seen them easily go for 100-150$ here.Quote:

Those TVs are really nice but aren't the best for older systems as it upscales the 240p and you don't get scanlines. But if you are using it for watching TV and newer consoles like PS2 and dreamcast it is an all around great TV. Having the DVI for HD is also really nice. I don't know what the TV market is like where you live but I can find those TVs for $40-50 easy on craigslist all the time here and I wouldn't want to spend more than $40 for one personally.
Yeah, well.. the seller is now asking $380 USD for the TV, so..fuck it.
That's bullshit. I got my 2nd Sony KV-32HS420 for $500, when Fry's was clearing them out in 2005. He's not going to have any luck selling it at that price.
I'd pay $35 - $50 for it.
Put it out on my curb and the crackheads will cut the cord and smash it for the little bit copper in the back if that gives you an idea of what they are worth these days.
$380? I don't think he can get that price anywhere in the planet. I just recently spent 4 years in Ecuador, and no one is dropping that kind of money on a SDTV anymore (no matter how big it is) - People would sooner spend more money on a smaller HDTV or spend much less on a SDTV.
In North Jersey, pawn shops won't accept them anymore. I had a tough time giving a 32 inch away, and a 28 inch went out to the curb. I realize that the specs are better on the the TV you're showing us, but at the end of the day it's still a SDTV that most people want to replace with a HDTV.
I would reach out to friends that are looking to get rid of their SDTVs in favor of a HDTV. You'll probably get what your looking for at a fraction of the cost (if not free). I'm sure SDTVs are still very common in Uruguay, but I would doubt that people are dropping more than $250 (new) on them anymore.
It's a 4:3 CRT HDTV, it supports 480p, 720p and 1080i, anyways..380 for an old tube TV is just plain crazy.
I would pay $0, because I already own a Trinitron.
One million dollars!

Whatever it's actually worth.
Sometimes thrift stores like Goodwill will have these up for sale around $40-60, and depending on that week's color for price tags you can get 50% off. However, that does not happen very often.
The flat screen means no support for lightgun games like Snatcher.
So... not very much :P
How much would you pay for this TV? $100? 500? 1,000?
Well don't take out that checkbook yet, because if you order through this special offer, you can get this TV for just three easy payments of only $33.33 plus shipping and processing! That's right, just $99.99!
So don't delay! Call today, at 1-800-989-4242! And if you call within the next twenty minutes, you'll get a free set of genuine antique rabbit ears for your TV or mantle! So call 1-800-989-4242. That's 1-800-989-4242. Just dial 1-800-989-4242, TODAY!
...what is that number actually for?
Beats me. Just call it, and ask for the $99.99 TV with the free antique rabbit ears, and see what they have to say.
Paying more that $35 bucks for that thing would be an absolute rip off. You have to take into consideration the weight, the age, and the maintenance of an old TV that size. Whoever is selling this thing either is very naive or out to rob someone.Quote:
