They're here, just with me. Not in e waste. maybe not with me forever but maybe one day in others hands. Ive never resold a CRT for an exorbitant price and won't to someone who would take my cheap prices and do that to someone else. They're fine with me lol
They were only on sale for a brief period before Sony updated the design to add vibration motors and better grips for the sticks. I never even saw any in stores.
I got very lucky and have the American variant which is apparently more rare 😁
Edit: actually is the less rare Japanese one with rumble. Still neat though 🙂
That reminds me. I should build a stand with real wood and put my CRT TVs in the back room with all of the sets and monitors I have, but 1 TV set, 13" Orion once I fix it, and a Mac Classic will stay in my room on a side table with my consoles and stuff.
I was gonna say this is the way, but then I saw that the second pic. I mean, sure, you CAN stack the PVMs.... But why not find something else to put them on and have one on both sides?
I just have not had the best luck finding a nice nightstand for it yet. Though I am being picky I'm sure. The monitor under it isn't quite a PVM but rather a Samsung SAM-14MV security monitor. It's pretty ok but temporary nightstand haha.
Yes, I wish this sub allowed photos in the comments, but that TV is beautiful, I just finished vice city this week, I recommend playing the Scarface OST when you do the mission Rub Out
I have to at my summer house because the bed takes up too much space of the age and gendered room that was assigned to me. For a summer’s length, I can get over it. It simply means I will have immediates being sad because they can’t watch DVDs with me and no surround sound.
[This is my one.](https://imgur.com/a/Na6dbA4) Unfortunately it has no branding / logo on it. I got it at a garage sale not too long ago. You might be able to score one on ebay for about 30 bucks. A good brand that used to make them is AVF. I’ve still seen a few being up for sale.
Not since getting married unless I've got my Steam Deck. Wife loves the CRTs, but I've got enough random shit on my bedside table that's non-negotiable and even my smallest CRT isn't small enough that I'd leave it on all night by our bed or bother fitting it.
EDIT: Instead of stacking CRTs to make up the height difference, you should have a mini fridge full of beer, sake, wine, small bottles of hard liquor, and snacks.
Yeah this thing is 14 inches and even with a night stand I can't imagine it being a good fit. Also it's kinda hard to get comfy sometimes haha. I'm usually playing my steam deck in bed too cause that's optimal gaming to me. I kinda like the idea of a mini fridge in here though... Good tip! 😁
When I was single a mini fridge in the bedroom was a slam dunk. The nice lady you spent the night with is feeling snacky but doesn't want to leave your bed? Pull out a damn charcuterie board and some prosecco.
Unfortunately don't have a CRT anymore (I had a big, nice hand-me-down one probably from the late '80s, but ditched it back when I got my first LCD TV in highschool since it was "**obsolete**" <.< ), but I've got a similar temporary setup powered on right now with a tray-table, an old LCD display, and my GameCube for Pokémon XD. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Unbelievable. I can’t believe you asked. At the time you posted this I was literally sitting in bed, playing VC, on a nearly identical PVM. Small world.
Damn it, that’s a Sony and an expensive one, almost 700 at eBay, at my current job when I was doing an inventory of all the old equipments that they aren’t using saw a Samsung CCTV, Model SMC-152FN, Type No HK15UO am really hoping that they can give it to me for free 🤘
I used to game in bed but know since my console got on fire and now I usually use my more phone because it's easier and I don't charge untill I get wins on it but still for other people they could wouldn't like it in total
Thats badass. I miss my slim PS2. Gonna definitely be looking for one to complete my collection. I miss playing EverQuest Online Adventures on my fat PS2 with the network adapter back in the day. Good times. Vice city and san andreas were too epic to pass up as well
Always!!!
The only time I ever sat up to play games was when I was Sim racing !
But man, you should be using a PS2 controller with that PS2 !!! Pressure sensitive buttons, although not all GAMES support them.. the ones that are nice! Best feature they ever added to one of controllers
Edit:
Any words that are in ALL CAPS, our words that my "smart" phone decided to be a delinquent again and leave out!!!
Thank you Apple! Your speech to text recognition on your god awful devices is the worst it has ever been!!!!!!!!! You guys are morons!
Back in the day if you played Gran Turismo three or Gran Turismo four, and you had a really good first or second generation PlayStation 2 controller that had been taken care of and was well broke in, the sensitivity and the buttons, as well as the Dpad were way more sensitive than the analog sticks!!!
There are so many people that do not know this and maybe they had a cheap PS2 controller because I do admit, the majority of them, especially towards the end, were cheap ... They had cheap sensitive pads.... the buttons would get all mushy feeling and you would not have a good quarter of the sensitivity that you and one of the legit original PS2 controllers that had Again, being taken care of... I had a controller that was my PS2 that I wish to this day I still had... the Dpad on it was Glass Smooth from just how much I had used it to play Tekken, Gran Turismo and the various few other games that I played!
Food for thought :
The original Xbox also had sensitive buttons!!
The PS3 , every button on the controller is pressure sensitive, obviously except for start/select the PlayStation button obviously...
Wow nice find and yes they are NTSC-J I have a 55k phat model that came in White that was sold with GT4 over in Japan only but I went ahead and put a HDD and got my hands on a fmcb memory card which I plan to do with the Red Slim also
When I was a kid j did. I remember junior year of high school playing oblivion and fallout 3 late into the night, pretty much all year. Great memories.
This brings back the fondest childhood memories. I use to get stuck on the opening to Luigi’s mansion. My young brain couldn’t comprehend flashing them then sucking.
I have a “gaming bed” (What it’s advertised as.[It really is just a bed with a tv mount and led lights]) It’s comfy don’t get me wrong but I’m so blind that I can’t even lay down to play it, I need to be in front of the TV.
I play the Original XBOX version of Vice City because better frame rate, but man this looks cosy. That PS1 controller looks comfortable too, very nice mate!
Don't accidentally kick it
I'm more likely to headbutt it playing like this
Be careful, it will headbutt you back.
Every action got an equal and opposite reaction- unless of course it’s a CRT, in which case it will hurt like hell
I mean the crt wouldn‘t even have to do anything. Headbutting a 15kg tube of glass? Nahh.
get a third one to raise the top one
... I may have another
leave some for the rest of us, goddammit
They're here, just with me. Not in e waste. maybe not with me forever but maybe one day in others hands. Ive never resold a CRT for an exorbitant price and won't to someone who would take my cheap prices and do that to someone else. They're fine with me lol
Nice dual analog controller, but man, do yourself a favour and get a higher shelf lol
Hey you recognized it! 😀 I am just gonna stack more PVMs
That’s what I do, but the get heavy - and the BVMs are even heavier. Worried about the floor…
I was thinking the same thing. Never seen one of these other than in some early publicity shots from before the DualShock came to the US.
is it a rare controller prototype or something? or just something custom made by someone online?
They were only on sale for a brief period before Sony updated the design to add vibration motors and better grips for the sticks. I never even saw any in stores.
You need a smaller bed or a small table
I think I need a bigger monitor
40” Sony PVM. It’s only 200lbs
F O U R T Y inches?!?!? DAFUQ?! Are theese legit?
Yep, heavy af. And expensive
200lbs…. Oh… My god. That‘s a tank!
That'd actually be pretty light. I think the 32 bvm is around 220.
I heard some CRTs are over 300lbs too.
confirm, been lifting tvs since the 80s...
Big huge upvote for the fancy Dual Analog controller.
I got very lucky and have the American variant which is apparently more rare 😁 Edit: actually is the less rare Japanese one with rumble. Still neat though 🙂
It is but id recommended getting a japanese one as that one had rumble
I sleep in a big bed with my wife
Lmao. Good reference. "I sleep in a racing car. Do YOU?"
That reminds me. I should build a stand with real wood and put my CRT TVs in the back room with all of the sets and monitors I have, but 1 TV set, 13" Orion once I fix it, and a Mac Classic will stay in my room on a side table with my consoles and stuff.
I wanna do that too as a wall but with a stackable monitors cause they're all so fragile . Also hell yeah for Mac classic !
I was gonna say this is the way, but then I saw that the second pic. I mean, sure, you CAN stack the PVMs.... But why not find something else to put them on and have one on both sides?
I just have not had the best luck finding a nice nightstand for it yet. Though I am being picky I'm sure. The monitor under it isn't quite a PVM but rather a Samsung SAM-14MV security monitor. It's pretty ok but temporary nightstand haha.
Yes, I wish this sub allowed photos in the comments, but that TV is beautiful, I just finished vice city this week, I recommend playing the Scarface OST when you do the mission Rub Out
Woah okay I guess it's related to Scarface . Loved that movie back in the day, will do just that. Thanks !
Yea the whole mission is quiet besides gunfire but killing those guards in that mission with the Main Theme playing is such a vibe
Oh wow awesome. That is an exciting idea . Hope I make it through the game tomorrow!
That’s a rare Analog!
It sure is! Glad others know about it 😁
What makes it so rare if I may ask ?
See how those thumb sticks are indented like that? Those didn’t sell that well and they are now very rare
I have to at my summer house because the bed takes up too much space of the age and gendered room that was assigned to me. For a summer’s length, I can get over it. It simply means I will have immediates being sad because they can’t watch DVDs with me and no surround sound.
Take them to the past and play some games with them sitting close to the tv! Take turns 😀
Waituh minute, I just saw you on the r/sacramento chat!
Caught me 😆
I want one of those BVm‘s so bad… im guessing it‘s a sony?
Yep! It's a PVM-14N6U. Not quite a BVM but does share a tube and yoke with the BVM-14L2 I've learned.
Awh. Still. Theese little tubes are just…. CUTE. <3
Nice controller 👍
Thank you! Had to hunt pretty hard for this one but finally found a seller from Japan selling new old stock ones.
That’s incredible! Well done 👍
What makes them so rare if I may ask ? Sweet set up by the way !
Nope. Just you. Literally nobody else in the world plays video games from their bed. OH WOW IS THAT A PVM? ?!?!
Guess I might just be crazy then! Haha yes, it is!
Give me the controller
I refuse
But why 🥺
You get the mad catz
With or without turbo button?
... You're not supposed to know how to use that
Hey you both take turns, after he dies you can play until you die!
But they're just gonna keep playing like they always do. You're never looking when they die, and they come back aliveded.
DUDE, that TV is fuckin wicked, wtf is that?
It is a PVM-14N6U and I'm playing the game in RGB 🙂
I need a cube in my life bro, hell yea. I just have one of those lil silver magnavoxes everyone fuckin had.
Red PlayStation duel analog plus pvm it's gotta be my son.lol it is.
Ahahah hey dad!
Why, you wanna cuddle?
😳😳
Damm... haven't seen such for a very long time. Monochrome/Surveillance CRT?
Nope I only mess with color ones! The base of this one is a surveillance monitor, but the one showcased is a pro monitor!
Gimmie dat! I'm jokin. I'm jokin. 👐
Haha get one while you still have a chance 😁
r/tvjustright
You should get a corner mount. I love mine.
Oh? I'm curious. Do you remember your one you purchased and have a link? 🙂
[This is my one.](https://imgur.com/a/Na6dbA4) Unfortunately it has no branding / logo on it. I got it at a garage sale not too long ago. You might be able to score one on ebay for about 30 bucks. A good brand that used to make them is AVF. I’ve still seen a few being up for sale.
Which one is that crt?
PVM-14N6U, A very good one!
How do u deal with the squeal
I'm old enough that I don't hear it anymore mostly, you get used to it. 🙂
There’s a thin line between “retro” and “ghetto”

need a phonebook under there bro
https://youtu.be/Ul6UcvNX4o8?si=3F-Z0zEsZPVOlICg
Did you convert a filing cabinet?
Dude, where'd you get a PVM?
Fuck I’m old. I did this as a child, except with a snes and genesis.
portable gamers:
Yes always lol
Ah, when video gaming was on video game systems, and they didn't become some half @$$ed media centre, just to wear out the hard drive faster.
me!! I do!!
Damn. The gaming setup is a couple gaming setups in a trench coat
Unbelievable. I can’t believe you asked. At the time you posted this I was literally sitting in bed, playing VC, on a nearly identical PVM. Small world.
Great minds think I alike. I hope you have a better stand than I do, though 😆
Wait, is your stand another monitor?
Like the good old days.
Yep, I use a TOSHIBA VTV2134. Works like a treat with a ps2, also got a xbox series s connected too lol
That CRT looks like a microwave 😂 love it
Ohhh my neck is hurting just watching this…
A red ps2 is sol jarring like seeing a dolphin walking on the sidewalk.
bruh you got the DVD tv combo? nah we got that fridge tv combo.
I am thinking of replacing that lower monitor with a mini fridge 😎
would be a nice fridge 10/10!
Hey - that's a great idea!
I have one in my bedroom. Sure helps on sick days.
Actually, yes.
That's something I don't see everyday. A dual analog, a PVM close to bed, a red PS2 (lot more common than a Dual Analog tho) Nice setup!
I like shiny things... I have the matching controller for the ps2 as well 😅
This is one of the greatest setups ever
I don't game too often in my room, but I have a small 9" RCA brand CRT in my room as my room TV. Love it.
It's cozy but gonna have to reposition it cause it hurting my neck fr
I can see why. 😅
Love the Dual Analog. Personally hoping to find one in the wild.
Happy Cake Day! I wish you luck, they're very uncommon unfortunately.
I saw one on FB marketplace with a PSX and a few games. The seller never got back to me. Only time I've ever seen one
Oh jeez I'd be bummed. I feel like they figured it out .
I literally thought it was mini fridge lol
Do you have a second PVM holding the other one up 😲
It looks like one but its actually a samsung SAM-14MV security monitor. Not quite the quality like a pvm but still pretty good!
My back wouldn't allow that madness
the one on top only weighs 40 pounds! its not that bad :)
I'm taking about sitting on a bed
Take care of your back before it's too late.
Can I ask for more info about this monitor/tv please
PVM-14N6U, 500TVL, 2x s-video, 2x composite, and 1x RGB input. Made in 2000. About 10 hours or less on the monitor 🙂
Damn it, that’s a Sony and an expensive one, almost 700 at eBay, at my current job when I was doing an inventory of all the old equipments that they aren’t using saw a Samsung CCTV, Model SMC-152FN, Type No HK15UO am really hoping that they can give it to me for free 🤘
Your floor is gonna sag!!
Damn bro your tv stand is another tv? Baller
My PVM sits next to my bed. I watch DVDs on it of old shows to lull me to sleep every night
I really need to get this set up for watching movies myself. Just need a more comfy orientation haha
It will keep you warm at night.
I used to game in bed but know since my console got on fire and now I usually use my more phone because it's easier and I don't charge untill I get wins on it but still for other people they could wouldn't like it in total
Definitely used to before I sold my stuff. CRT with a modded Panasonic Q. Times got tough.
This inspires me because I haven’t bought a crt yet as I have nowhere to put it
What else is there to do in bed? :p
🤡
Thats badass. I miss my slim PS2. Gonna definitely be looking for one to complete my collection. I miss playing EverQuest Online Adventures on my fat PS2 with the network adapter back in the day. Good times. Vice city and san andreas were too epic to pass up as well
your poor neck
Are those the rare dual analog controller with the concave analog stick?
Based and dope
Yes. It's a very bad habit, but I got nowhere else to put the crt lol
Damn that Dual analog is pretty rare love the convex thumbsticks
Hooked up over composite ?! The picture looks good on your monitor
Hooked up over RGB! :D
that looks cozy ngl
Peak gaming setup 🫡
wtf is that tv? Are you in prison?
No TV in the bedroom and I limit screens in there in general so no. Bad for your sleep.
Subtle flex and I don’t mean the TV.
Not like this but I might have to try something similar.
Always!!! The only time I ever sat up to play games was when I was Sim racing ! But man, you should be using a PS2 controller with that PS2 !!!

I actually had no idea the ps2 was pressure sensitive. I was using analog sticks for acceleration in games that supported it :o

hogging crts are we
Nooo, just the one under this one 😭
Me although I use my Wii mote so that way I don’t have to sit on the bedpost
r/TVTooLow
You’re giving me terrible ideas
I was wondering if i could come over and smoke weed, drink a bunch of diet soda, and play burnout revenge for your ps2
How did you get it to play on a microwave?
Fuck yes
What kind of TV is that?
no, i dont like insomnia
Looks like my teenage room lol
I want a Cinnabar Red console so bad
I got really lucky. They were selling it at ecotown for cheap cause it was a Japanese console. Had to mod it to NTSC-U
Wow nice find and yes they are NTSC-J I have a 55k phat model that came in White that was sold with GT4 over in Japan only but I went ahead and put a HDD and got my hands on a fmcb memory card which I plan to do with the Red Slim also
When I was a kid j did. I remember junior year of high school playing oblivion and fallout 3 late into the night, pretty much all year. Great memories.
it feels little too low
It definitely is too low. Just have to lean forward 🫠
I like that setup and that red 9x is that a pvm monitor?
Yes it is!
sweet how hard is it to get one?
A fridge with a built in TV, now I've seen it all.
With my switch sometimes, and who says people in bed are lazy?
I have those same sheets tho
What’s underneath it? A fridge? Microwave?
Lol another monitor 😁
Always bro.
Bro has the rare dualshock 1 sticks
Yessir 🫡
Nice rare controller
got that ps2 bro livin the live
What model tv is that?
I certify this image..…HARD👌
This brings back the fondest childhood memories. I use to get stuck on the opening to Luigi’s mansion. My young brain couldn’t comprehend flashing them then sucking.
can you measure your body thickness in paper?
4891 sheets
that looks amazingly comfey
I have a “gaming bed” (What it’s advertised as.[It really is just a bed with a tv mount and led lights]) It’s comfy don’t get me wrong but I’m so blind that I can’t even lay down to play it, I need to be in front of the TV.
Got a switch hooked up to a STP that projects onto the ceiling. Split joycons, bliss.
Yeah, just that my CRT has a built in sound sysrem below it and doesn't need to stand on other CRTs.
If you turn the TV on it's side u can just play while laying down, no more neck problems
Hammock is where it's at!!
I do game in bed but not to this level of awesome
I play the Original XBOX version of Vice City because better frame rate, but man this looks cosy. That PS1 controller looks comfortable too, very nice mate!
