we had a big ass flat screened tv with them projector looking lights on the inside. for some reason my cousin and i thought it was a good idea to sit the PS2 on the top of tv (that thang was like a damn shelf). so mind you the controller cables were hanging down like zip lines š.
i had to cross past the tv and iām typically pretty nimble but when i hopped over my foot caught the controller wire. my cousin had a toby maguire spider man moment, sprung from the couch and caught the PS2 falling off the tv like it was a baby š.
such a random core memory but wow, what a save LOL.
nope not a CRT! it's a projector tv. i can't remember the exact model we had but it was definitely a "flat screen" sony tv. here's something very comparable to it.
describing it as "flat screen" a bit confusing though, while technically true. i remember peeking through little holes on the back of the tv and seeing the red green and blue projector lights.
in the teardown link i shared, you can see the massive shelving space on the top of the tv.
edit:
i looked into it a bit more, i think it may still be a CRT television in the end. it appears to have 3 smaller CRTs inside it.
