Cool. 500W worth of lamps for (maybe) 32" of terrible quality picture?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its actaully widescreen and the picture quality is surprisingly decent.

Yeah, I was making a joke. Do love that bastard though, also its fun to daisy chain adapters and run firesticks and shit on it. Good for old movies and games that were intended for CRT.
