With the advent of digital OTA television, many people are choosing to
get rid of old televisions..some of them very nice.

Any uses for an older television other than the obvious use it with a
converter box?

Thanks


things no one has mentioned yet:

1. fish tank
2. plasma globe (use flyback)
3. make an old pong game into a dedicated game console with a TV mounted
on its back
4. monitor (many have composite video in) for a remote camera
5. second computer display


surprised no one has mentioned yet...
always thought it would be cool to have a wall of televisions, like,
either all tuned to the same channel or maybe even different channels.
(like LBJ but supersized.) can't really justify the cost of electricity
though, even for only just two tv's. (would be kinda an art project, not
really actually watching 45 tv programs at once. kinda nam jun
paik-ish-esque.)
