    Maybe in the early-to-mid 2000s; people couldn’t GIVE them away!

    Nowadays, not even the most bougie neighbourhoods could afford to…

      My wife made me get rid of my triple CRT setup in the mid 2000s. I was only able to sell one of them, for way less than it was worth IMO, the rest I found a place that took them for free eventually. It was shockingly hard to get rid of them.

      I wish I still had one.

        Dude, same (well - I only had one, but yeah).

        I held off for as long as I could, but eventually went from a 15in Sony Trinitron monitor to a Dell W2405 - which at the time was actually not a bad decision, but I do wish I kept that CRT.

          I went from 3 21" Trinitrons to a 20" BenQ as that was what I could afford at the time. It was a massive drop in screen resolution for me, but it did make my office so much less hot. Those CRTs were like space heaters.
