This tv 📺 was a symbol of great wealth 😂

Being over twice your age you may not realize many of us wouldn't consider owning a rear projection TV because the picture quality while large was awful.

The first TV I remember us renting yes that was a thing, had a coin slot in it that you had to feed!

Haha yeah that's rear projection 16:9 screen. God I'd of probably been your age before they went outta fashion LOLZ😅

I remember.

I remember our first Black & White TV was like that. We couldn't afford a colour TV back then.

I remember when I was a young boy my grandfather had one

Yes. True

I´m THIS old

I'm even older than that

The color tubes or something frequently liked to go bad and it'd be ruined in under 2 years

ah yes, the ol rear projection tvs that only looked good at certain angles

And it was too big n bulky to ever worry about bein stolen

Those weren't THAT expensive. A few grand, much less than a huge pool, some European cars, etc.

That, and plasmas that could probably roast a chicken if you put it right in front of it lol
