Opry99er Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 So when I hooked my son up with his "new" TI, I gave him my Magnavox flatscreen tv/monitor. That left me without a monitor for my TI temporarily. I started looking for a nice 15-17" flatscreen of the same ilk on craigslist, and found a few I considered buying. In the meantime, I grabbed my Toshiba 14AF42 FST PURE flat CRT from my NES setup and put it on top of my PBox. Let me tell you something, the color, sharpness, and definition on this thing blows away that crappy flatscreen I had before---and I thought it was the bees knees. Holy cow, the difference is insane! No ghosting of letters when programming, no lag when gaming.... I mean it is really sharp! The ol' switcheroo is sometimes a nice little surprise. I still need another tv, but that will go to my NES system.... my TI has a new permanent monitor, and I love the way it looks! ((Disclaimer--this is a stock photo, not my cat---my cat would kick this cat's ass)) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The dimensions of this work seem out of any realistic proportion. That cat looks like it could easily topple that monitor! I'd have to "see your cat" to believe it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 These pictures are misleading. Each of my cats is 4 feet tall and each weighs 100 pounds. Mustard the Cat: Snarf the Thundercat: The TI-99/4A in question: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Mustard & Snarf look like they could prevail...in a doe attack, anyway...Your T.I. looks, souped...But seems to be missing a few wires compared to mine. Before I installed this tiny monitor... The T.V. I used was in an uncomfortable viewing position. So I would just type blindly... recalling the various screens from memory and observing the display matrix changes. Ha.

+Ksarul Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hmmmmm, thinking back to the old Snarf Quest comic strip, Snarf tended to get himself into a lot of trouble. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
