I had a 9" (I think) Ford Philco TV. It was "futuristic" looking. We even used it when our family's 19" went on the fritz. My youngest brother dropped a penny in the back of the TV. Back then you repaired the TV instead of buying a new one.
LOL, that is awesome. When we got our Atari 800, my Dad bought a 9" "portable" black and white TV for us to play it on because they didn't want us hogging the TV in the living room. That thing weighed at least 60 pounds. So I guess technically, we had 3 TVs in the house once I got my 13" for the bedroom. Young people today don't know how good they've got it.I had a 9" (I think) Ford Philco TV. It was "futuristic" looking. We even used it when our family's 19" went on the fritz.

A pic of what the TV looked like - even the color is the same. I feel like I'm so old going back down memory lane with this.
I'll check it out before I die.
Jan 12th homie. Night of Shorts para ti.
I remember toting home a DLP TV back in 2007. I thought that thing was the coolest TV ever. It was a Samsung. To it's credit, besides the bulb getting dim, that TV refused to die. My dad bought a SUPER expensive Mitsubishi DLP at about the same time and that thing went belly up on him. lol
Did you ever clean the area around the bulb? I got a free one one time where the bulb was suppose to be out and needed replaced. It was just full of dust.

Yeah, VR can be a wild ride. I played Resident Evil Biohazard on PS4 VR. It was creepy as hell. It added a whole new dimension to the game. The game Farpoint you use a a plastic rifle as your controller and you load it more realistically than a normal 1st person shooter. I haven't done VR on any other system so I can't comment on its video quality, but the PS VR could use some improvement as it's like looking through a window screen. I rented a golf VR but no matter what I did I could not get the hang of it. I couldn't hit the ball reliably no matter what I did. LOL
VR is cool. What it really needs is a less bulky headset, a better way to move in the environment and peripheral vision. There are solutions coming for all of these but they are expensive at the moment. Something like playing cards is perfect for it now. A lot of developers are waiting for a few games to really take off to invest the time and money in it. We put our pinball game out for Oculus and it is easily the best version of the game.
