   This YouTuber found probably the last remaining 43-inch CRT monitor, largest ever commercially available, still in use in a second-floor restaurant in Osaka, Japan. And the crazy bastard got it days before the restaurant was gonna move and throw it away, and had it shipped to the USA.

     I was the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Megavision 40 inch tube. I can say from personal experience that a tube this large is a magnificent thing.

     Excitingly enough, my CRT, from 1988, was in much better condition than this one, which had convergence issues.

     @Nudhul it took two adult men to carry it into my basement and four to carry it back out.
     
     To get it out, I bought a new TV that included free recycling service that would come to your house, lol. You should have seen those guys faces when they saw the TV I was recycling. I tipped each of them 20 dollars though and they were happy.

     After he got the TV, as a troll he created a new fake user account and said he was gonna buy the biggest CRT. A bunch of people told him it would never happen, then he posted pictures of it hooked up to one of the shittiest emulation boxes, connected to one of the laggiest HDMI to composite converters.

     @sun Reminds me of the big ass CRT in Steins;Gate
     
     And shipping it to USA must have felt like gambling.

     @Rocc I think the most enjoyable part to me was the interview with the restaurant owner. The bubble era, where a soba shop owner could buy a 100kusd tv for the hell of it

     @sun@shitposter.world that stuck out to me as well! And the odds of a Sony bigwig just stopping in to eat and chat? Seems like a magical time.

     @Rocc my gf's parents' place has a giant bathroom with a bathhouse shower and tile tub big enough for four people in it, that they had installed during the bubble era.
