ok this is one of those "useless" threads but I seriously could use an answer

here goes

in the mid 90's I believe there was a TV that was supposedly made just for gaming...

the only thing I remotely remember about it was that the TV had doors that closed to cover the viewing area and that the speakers were

any help is appreciated

Samsung GTX? GPX? Something like that.

GXTV

"Moms warn about sitting too close to the TV. But if you're a serious gamer, let's face it, you don't listen to your mom. If you're one to sit too close for too long with the volume too high, Samsung's built a screen especially for you. The GXTV is a 13-inch monitor flanked by a 21-watt multispeaker stereo surround system - including a 15-watt subwoofer. On top of everything, the GXTV includes a 181-channel TV tuner with dbx noise reduction. Stick your head in that, Mister. GXTV: US$349. Samsung Electronics Co."

After about 6 years of everyday use, the speakers start to crack and the AV ports get wonky.

I remember it, but don't remember what it was called. It was black, contained a monitor and speakers, and closed up so you couldn't see anything inside if you wanted. Hm. What WAS that called?

Yeah, Samsung GXTV. It's a great little TV too. I've had mine for way more than 6 years, and I've never had any problems at all with it. Well worth the $200 I paid for it. Probably a collector's item now too. Not very many made.
