    I didn't know I wanted that.

    (Well, probably not furry animations, but y'know).

    Genuinely, thank you.

    on this topic, a cool idea we just thought of is to take an LCD TV with a broken LCD panel (which we have), take out the panel assembly, remove the LCD glass, and install a printed piece of artwork (perhaps something over top to protect the artwork? or maybe not), from there hooking up the backlight to its own power supply and putting the thing up with some framing/trim or maybe just on its own. in fact we might actually start on that right now. yay distractions!!! x3

    Aah, the old 3:4 dell, what's the resolution?

    Best resolution IMO: stays hydrated when its warm

    they are both 1280x1024! there is a seller here selling some similar 1600x1200 monitors but those are $15 each versus the roughly six dollars each of these were. these are still fairly nice though, glad to hear others think the same hehe

    That moment when for you, "20yo screen" means a big box you put carefully to not break the table you're puting it on, not a thing you put carefully to not break it. :D

    hehe those are very fun too. in the metal shop we work in we have a comically large 36" CRT computer monitor—not television! it has a DE-15 plug and all—and our strategy of moving it around was just an engine hoist lol
