I like the Trinitron a lot. This page is dedicated to its appearances on film and television, that is: the ones I know of.

music videos

Purple Disco Machine - Dopamine (feat. Eyelar)

[00:00:38] Strangely, this frame seems to have been flipped horizontally. However, the Trinitron branding is clearly recognizable. The monitor looks like a PVM-9040ME. Fun fact: this model has been released in 1998 while the video claims to be set in 1982. Amateurs!
