showing u my crt tv collection! 

you're responsible for my friend making a telephone mic and then developing a massive obsession with old audio stuff collecting you should be proud of yourself

The aesthetic here is so powerful. The lo-fi audio. The washed-out colors. The old-ass TVs. The music. It's such a specific vibe and it's making me weirdly emotional.

I was about to comment about the prison clear requirements. My niece, she’s 13, wants a CRT tv with the built in VCR. I recently gave her mine and she’s been nonstop watching a bunch of Sailor Moon and all my old Pokémon VHS tapes.

I LOVE how this video is from July 2023 yet exudes nostalgic old school 2007 RU-vid vibes. This girl is so rad with her sweet collection. Rate 5 stars.

The phone audio is a really rad touch. It feels like listening to a friend calling you from the 90’s❤

i've been made aware the prison clear tech statement in my video is wrong so to not spread more misinformation here is the correct reason: They are clear so that inmates don't hide contraband inside of it.

The fact that you're using an old school CLEAR telephone as your mic really drives this whole thing home! I love it!

It's so strange remembering when all this tech was current like it was yesterday. These eras come and go so fast, it's all so fleeting. Thanks for sharing this, and helping us appreciate a moment in time.

I have so much respect when younger people appreciate and keep alive old technology!! I grew up with CRT TVs and still have one from about 1997, the year this creator was born.

I was also born in 97. I remember as a kid plugging in the AV cables for the PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii. I was mind blown when one day I found out that the video signal is carried only by one cable. The other two are for left and right audio channels. Haven't seen a CRT in years. Digital displays are nice, but I truly miss the look and feel of playing these old consoles on a CRT

I love the telephone microphone. It adds a level of nostalgia that I never thought I'd experience again or kinda didn't know I miss it. It reminds me of long holidays away from home and then you get to call friends on a payphone to check in and tell them all about your awesome seaside holiday. It also reminds me of long phone calls to my school friends. Talking crap for hours on end over weekends. I went on a long bus trip a year or two back only to find myself in the big city with a dead cellphone and no power bank. It only dawned on me then that payphones don't exist anymore.

People think I’m batshit crazy for using these but I think they are hypnotizing in a good way. Plus, old games look way better on them.

Crts are ideal for retro gaming. The Smash Bros Melee community is known to use them because they provide no input lag when playing

This video feels so artistically out of time and I love it. Almost feels like it's fake and actually the intro to a surreal Y2K period piece film. I love this. ❤️

let's all love lain i wish more people had an obsession with old tech

I LOVE THIS! this is how i grew up with CRTs theres a big difference while flat screens are nice and light you miss something. Also, this video kinda reminds me of that one bjork interview where she had torn apart a tv and was explaining in her terms what each component did lol. if you haven't seen it WATCH IT NOW

_"you can _*_almost_*_ get it completely clear"_ i like how it was kind of a minigame to get the antenna just right

As someone who is obsessed with retro technology, it is really cool! Thanks for sharing your collection 😊

Pretty cool. CRT tvs have something special about them that remind us of a more "human" time when we werent so obsessed with machines,AI and algorithms.

I'm a fellow CRT collector and enthusiast, and I really enjoyed seeing your video in my recommendations. I've been dying to get a clear one, they are very cool looking. My pride and joy is a working Japanese set from the 1970s. Also, very cool telephone microphone, this is the first time I've seen one of those. I did not know that people born in the 90s also had nostalgia for CRTs, I'm very happy to learn it, makes me feel a little bit less old. All the best!

As someone who spent many years in Victorville prison, i can assure you: clear TVs are clear for one reason only, and that's to see contraband hidden within. Parts? CO's couldn't care less.

Your RU-vid channel is why I love the internet.

This is such an interesting collection! I have some professional CRTs for my arcade and retro gaming stuff but there's something about consumer grade ones that feel so dang comfy...

This is such a nostalgia trip for me! I miss my old CRTs, but they were just so big and heavy. It became harder and harder to justify having them around each time I moved house. I miss my trusty Panasonic. It was so good for gaming.

Now we need a tour for your audio equipment

I remember touching the CRT screens and feeling it. Good times.

I love the look of transparent plastic electronics. There was a lot of engineering that goes into everything, I want it on full display. I have a DS Lite that has an aftermarket transparent green shell. It is beautiful.

person posting a video of them being passionate about something? LETS GOOO

A lot of people try to emulate the 90s aesthetic with editing filters and tricks, but using actual hardware is just... you just can't replicate it.

I hadn’t wondered what the inside of a TV looks like since Bjork showed me, but I’m glad for the reminder. Will you please sing us Hyperballad for 10 hours?

Your channel is really a trip to the late 80's to early 90's. Something that I was excited about during college was the old tech stashed away in my professor's telecomms lab room. From analog oscilloscopes to nixie tube watches. But the coolest thing was the CRT monitor that he disassembled and exposed each part of the circuit and its function. In my opinion, looking at old analog circuits from a crt is like staring at a mechanical swiss watch (but that watch is really an electron accelerator, lol). Of course, digital tech from nowadays made in silicon or galium arsenide are really complex and the manufacturing process is nearly witchcraft. But still, the challenge of designing analog circuitry for very/ultra high frequencies is something that amazes me. All the impedance matching networks and signal control systems are something to stare at hours and wonder how the engineers figured all out. TL;DR: I like old technologies. Great content! Cheers 🍻

This channel gives me so much Nostalgia feeling it's just incredible! All of this feels like the late 90s and early 2000s, I'm talking about before 2013, especially from 1998-2009 time. Thanks for sharing this and bringing this good feeling of the past back again.

CRT is hands down my favourite TV Tech. Zero Motion Blur(Unlike todays sample and hold TV"s like OLED, QD-OLED and the worst offender of the 3, LED), with motion clarity(480i) Matching the resolution of the display itself. And best of all? They go for dirt cheap. People are nearly giving them away. Favorite CRT i ever owned was a 32" Sony Wega trinitron CRT from the mid 2000's. That thing was a beast!

So cool. I really regret getting rid of all my CRT monitors and televisions. I had a couple from the late ninetie4s and early 2000's but my favorite was a black and white set from 1983, it looked so great and still worked! My grandfather gave it to me when I was like 4, so I could have a tv in my room, and I still remember watching the basic channels on it, then later hooking a DVD player up to it somehow (Not sure how, my Dad did it for me

I was born in 1981 so I find this all interesting. Up until recently like this year or last year, did the 90s begin to feel like "a long time ago". Up until recently the 90s felt like just a not far yesterday. I was a teenager so these times were just normal parts of my life. I even have detailed memories of the 80s which is an even greater muse and inspiration for creative endeavors I want to fulfill. It is interesting how you like to collect all these. I remember my grandpa had one of those hand held tvs. But yeah good times. Nostalgic memories. Good friends. Good buddies.

This is so cool, with enough messy cables this could have a serious Lain vibe. I just couldn't justify getting a CRT, too big, can't find spare parts, not as power efficient, etc. Maybe there's one lying somewhere in my old storage room.

a custom made crt adventure time BMO tv would be lovely for your collection.😄

This has a Serial Experimens Lain vibe!

Really enjoy longer videos of you talking and explaining things, hope you continue to produce more content like this!

These are awesome. I'm a CRT collector myself but I tend to go for the 32 inch ones cuz I'm insane lol I can't get enough. I just love the technology so much

Using the handset as a mic is sick 😮 old tech is so cool. Such a nice voice for narration, too.

The reason for the clear tvs, I had heard, is to keep inmates from hiding contraband in them. I think it would be simultaneously hard for a guard to look at a TV and figure out what part might be missing, as well as too easy to know if something serious enough was missing, by way of it not working properly. Some prisons let inmates have their own TVs in their cells, along with walkmans with headsets, that's what cleartech is used for.

Man you took me back with those rf setups. I was kinda poor growing up so we used alot of old tech and hand me downs. I used my grandmas super old Sylvania crt that only had rf inputs. We'd then plug that into a vcr (don't remember the brand), and on the front of that had an rf bypass to plug in a game console. I also had a really cheap rf transmitter that barely worked with my old Sega genesis. This brought me back to simpler times lol

Wow! All of this is just so awesome... CRT TVs, the phone mic audio, the purple transparant gameboy!! I had all of these in the past too... and even worked at a CRT TV factory for a short while. I took pictures of the factory even though it absolutely wasn't allowed, just because the factory just looked like a small steampunk city! Awesome video Juliana!

Really great explanations! You do a good job of making topics that could be long, technical discussions into short, accessible explanations :)

dig the low-fi aesthetics of this channel and the crt collection is the perfect way to encapsulate what you do.

I wondered what was going on with the audio until I saw you actually have a landline telephone as a microphone. Last week I just made a VST to generate DTMF tones and a phone voice filter so I can use it in one of my songs later. This was all nostalgic.

That video mixer is awesome! You could come up with so many combinations.

What a beautiful girl and what a wonderful idea of transmitting sound through an old phone. From such a sound goosebumps, I remember all the good things that happened a long time ago... This is the coolest channel I've ever found in my life. Continue in the same spirit and you will achieve unprecedented results! ❤

What just happened? I suddenly landed into this video and I'm already totally in love with the audio. What a gem of a channel the algorithm has presented to me today. I ended up binging a lot of your videos. Thank you for making my day that much brighter

Very cool! I saw EposVox do some videos about using CRTs and it got me thinking about it more. I think some older content just looks better on the CRTs. Especially old video games. But I enjoyed Star War more on VHS on a tiny CRT than I did watching the Blu Ray. There's just something special about it. Who knows why? Best to you!

What a fun collection! I remember wanting that little Casio handheld as a young teenager. 😀 Impractical af but so cute and cool!

the telephone mic is completely unhinged and i love it. love the whole channels vibe.

Very nice collection, new subscriber here. I really love the phone you use as mic, it gives that old audio feel which is sorely missed these days and as someone who enjoys industrial music a lot it kinda gives that feel your listening to vinyl. I very much look forward to seeing more from your channel, definitely some awesome stuff here, keep up the great work you do. Cheers 🍻✌️

this was so relaxing and fascinating to watch

So Ramona really exists huh

dang shes perfect🥶

Heavy serial experiments lain vibes.

This is crazy, I am old enough to see items from my childhood seeing a resurgance. I saw a HS aged group of kids wearing grunge and one of the had on a Nirvana shirt. It's so cool to see the youth exploring vintage culture and tech.

I dig the 80s & 90s nostalgia, don't change!

You moving the aerial around unlocked a core memory of me as a child having to constantly manipulate our TV aerial throughout most of my youth, and when you find the “sweet spot”, having to sit there, not moving your arm throughout the whole show, lest you lose the picture.

My favorite TV as a kid was my 1977 Sony Trinitron. Despite it being 12 years older than me, it had a better picture than any of my newer TVs. I used to watch Letterman all the time on it.

I love old tech like this, it doesn't even need to be good, love the old clunky stuff, really shows us how far we've gone. i don't really have much old tech, just a 4th generation monochrome ipod and (isn't all that old but definitely outdated) a ps3 super slim, and I just like to sort of relive a bit of the older days. I kinda wanna get one of those big clunky early 90s mobile phones; not to use it, but just because it's kinda odd and cool

You were born on 1997 and have a lot of passion about old stuff. So beloved CRTs have a promising future.

Ramona Flowers' CRT collection. Neat. Thanks for saving these from the dump.

I've bought an old crt tv 2 days ago. Such a nice vibe when i put it on in my room and watching tv like back in the day😲! Awesome video, thank you for sharing!!! I love it!🙏🏼

This takes me back to the 90s. Thanks for the nostalgia. Its a shame about Brandon Lee and what happened on set of The Crow.

As someone who refuses to leave the 90'/2000's, this video is such a breath of fresh air. Even the format is very old-school RU-vid. Subscribed.

I guess that’s why also started to collected crt TVs and that crt collection that you have is just awsome 😊

Girl after my own heart. I wish I had the space to collect such things if for no other reason than to preserve the original experience of certain old media and video games.

Dude. I used to have an old little 12" (or maybe smaller) tv with a VHS in it, and me and my friends would sit and play split screen multiplayer on it. God playing games on that with half of a little screen to look at lol. Greatest times of my life. lol

I live down south, out here you can find crts sitting out on the curb, so many people throw them away, I've got a RCA crt to play my original Xbox on looks like a 20 inch screen... works perfectly....

I'm from 91, my childhood is based on vhs-recorded tv programs/pirated disney moovies and this gives me ASMR a lot, the way you show and tell soo peacefully so calm... love it

i’m going to cry this is all so beautiful! i’ve been huntinng for my own crt for a while now but i can’t find one i love, so i’m planning on buying one beat up and restoring it.

Omg, this is exactly what you would see on tv. if its accessible for people to publish on. I loved those small tv’s. I was able to get one I’m my own room and played with my ps1 until mornings.

Seeing people play with 'novel' things that used to be a norm to me usually makes me chuckle a little, but your presentation makes it feel warm and nostalgic.

For the little RCA, sometimes if the audio works but the video doesn't, it just means that the video heads are dirty. Try cleaning the heads with a video head cleaner from a reputable source and it just might spring back to life...

I stumbled upon two old CRTs in the trash bin. I picked them both, threw them a couple of times in the concrete pavement and snatched their yokes to stack up on copper.

Enjoyed the video. It is fascinating to me seeing the love for these old CRT devices. I am 55. I am old enough to whole arc of these going from state of the art to e-waste. I occasionally volunteer at e-waste collection events. One Saturday I think we must have had at least 50 CRT TVs come through. All sizes and shapes. It won't be long until there are not many left. The phone mic is amazing. I felt like a teenager again. Those were the kinds of phones we had in the 70s and 80s and your mic absolutely reproduces the experience. I felt like I was back in the 80s talking to a friend for hours. Nothing sounds like that anymore.

There's something very relaxing about this low-fi quality. First time here. Just bought a bunch of dvds from a "goodwill" - I'm a bluray/4K guy mainly, but when the dvds are 1€ piece, I just decided to buy lower quality to get some movies I haven't yet seen. the DVD quality is ok, it really is fine against the higher price point of the HD stuff.

Most of my TVs growing up only had the RF coaxial input. The ones with composite av cables were always so expensive. Although, I did see some older TVs that didn’t even have RF jacks. They only had the antenna dipole input which would pick up a lot of interference leaving you always fiddling with the antenna. These TVs were from the 1960s or before.

This feels like a post apocalyptic history lesson on old technology lol cool video though thanks for all the info. I always wondered how they did it back when they had multiple TVs in stores playing something at the same time and I guess they were just input and outputs wires doing that, that's crazy.

Love your collection Juliana. I’ve got a basement full of CRT sets from collecting sets people put out for trash after they got flat screens.

i miss my old crttv. i had soo much memories playing all my nes, ps1, snes, n64, and ps2 games on it. heck. i miss watching vhs but annoyed when i have to rewind and watch the trailers before the movie starts.

Portable TVs actually blow my mind out, people were experimenting so much back in the 90s

Wood grain CRT's on the floor, that's how I remember em' Beautifully carved!

wow, i thought i was the only one to love mini crt tv. also my jewel is a little tv shaped digital frame with an sd port to put videos in. Love...

We used to call the AV/AVA cords " Ketchum, Mayo and Mustard".... I feel so old! I was born in 1985 so we still had to pay extra to purchase color TV's and TV's with a remote control instead of a turn dial!

That A/V to RF modulator/converter thing is very smart, never thought about that way of inputting newer stuff on old TVs. Cool stuff, I discovered something today

I too have a love of CRTs, i am so happy to see another. love the collection, my collection started as i had nothing better to use at the time, so i kept my little orion 13 inch tv. friend game me his old 26 inch panasonic as he got a new tv. so i had an upgrade, then i Got a 36 inch trinitron from a lady who needed it gone so i got a free big screen! it spiraled out of control from there XD

I'm not sure what compelled me to watch, but this was surprisingly entertaining. I still have my DVD player/ VCR and old movies from growing up in the early 2000s, and I like to collect retro anime. there's just something charming about retro technology and films that make you chase nostalgia.

Kinda neat stuff - I remember all this as I was born in the late 70s. Makes me nostalgic - especially (weirdly) the sound of your voice over the old phone

This video got levels of nostalgia I didn’t think possible.

mad respect to a girl into this obscure nerdy boy stuff! i grew up through the crt age and vhs. hell, I was like 15/16 when I got my first dvd.

this is interesting seeing young people into their old tech. While I am so over this particular tech, after living through it. It isn't unlike how I like record players even though by the time I was 10, they were basically dead tech.

I get a nice flashback from this. The CRT I remember the most is a portable crt radio combo. It was long and rectangle, I thought it was fascinating growing up. The brand was either Zenith or Sharp.

I collect typewriters, old cameras and 80's home computers, very good work

I always liked the cartoon themed CRT TVs. My cousin had a Disney princess themed one and I was low key jealous lol

I am older early 40's and know nothing, but one thing I found is there are maybe a few people you meet in your life that reoccurs , different people but they take the same place in your life, provide that role what ever it be. Then you have people like you that you stubble upon and they inspire you to be the best version of yourself. There is always light , always good, it shines in you and others .

I'm really happy younger people care about these TVs and put so much effort into a retro tech based presentation.
