Nice to see someone using a classic phone like the 3GS. I don't know anybody who has a phone older than the iPhone 4. Although my friends cheap 5.0 inch chinese phone recently broke, so he's just using the indestructible Nokia 3310 until he gets something more modern.
This is the reason I'm trying to find a teeny tiny color crt. Anyone know of any, like 14" and under?
the TV has amazing quality for this tv, a 20 usd TV shows way better screen then a 4000 usd full-oled-4k-smart-curve-3d-waterproof-baconmaking-tv Well done!
I got one of these, http://midtownvideo.com/rental/crt-monitors/sony-pvm1354q/ 13" broadcast monitor with RBG, Component, S-Video, and composite all over BNC and highly adjustable. If you were looking for more of a standard TV, this would be the closest to what OP picked up in as close to 14" as possible http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KV-13FS1...p/B00006JP8U/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdt_img_top?ie=UTF8
You aren't crazy at all and that was a fair deal you got. I am going to be collecting more CRT televisions soon now that many can be had for the price of a pizza or less.
