I hooked them up to a Roku box so I could use it to watch old TV shows in SD format! The picture is actually really clear, but it looks terrible here from the camera interference lol

Remember when having more than one TV meant your family was rich rich?

We had 2 tvs when I was a kid. We had a huge b&w console with a 19" color TV on top. You had to turn both of them on and change the chanel together because the sound didn't work on the color TV and the picture didn't work on the b&w.

So your family was rich rich, lol. Having two tvs was brag-worthy, so long as you didn't tell them why you needed it. Do you remember being able to "see" what color they were wearing on the black and white?

I remember it was a big deal when I got this little tv because it meant I could play Nintendo in my room and no one would complain that I needed to stop playing so they could watch golf lol
