About this product
This is a working vintage Samsung TB1212 portable black-and-white 12-inch television, designed as a gaming monitor. Made in South Korea, it offers a retro display for classic gaming consoles. Priced at $99.95, it targets collectors and retro enthusiasts who want an authentic old-school experience with a small CRT-like screen.
Our take
Another retro gem, this Samsung TB1212 is a working 12-inch black-and-white TV from the 80s. The picture is monochrome and low-res, perfect for classic NES or Sega Master System games. It's fully functional, which is a plus for collectors. But as a daily monitor, it's impractical—tiny screen, no color, and only RF or composite inputs. At $100, it's a niche purchase for nostalgia only. If you want to play modern games, look elsewhere.
