Viral video of man showing off $5,000 TV at 2000 New Year\u2019s Eve party stuns viewers YouTube\/y2k0nditi0nA video from a 2000 New Year\u2019s Eve party is going viral after a man showed off his expensive $5,000 television. The late 90s and early 2000s were a simpler time. Things weren\u2019t as expensive, you didn\u2019t have to take your shoes off at the airport, and the N64 was all the rage. So, imagine what a $5,000 TV must have looked like back then. Turns out, not that impressive. But you wouldn\u2019t know it based on the reaction a group of men had at a New Year\u2019s Eve party in their buddy\u2019s basement and seeing this beast of a TV in action. The video, uploaded to NostalgiaFolder on X\/Twitter has blown up with 4.6M views, but those in Generation Z, also known as zoomers, are baffled by the tech they\u2019re seeing. The internet is blown away by this $5,000 TV at a 2000 New Year\u2019s party In the clip, a man led his buddies down some stairs to his basement for a special \u201csurprise\u201d where a big TV awaited right next to a CD tray. After being pressed for how much he paid for it, with one friend suggesting $10,000, he replied by revealing he spent \u201cabout half\u201d of that. As reported by Outkick, Redditors were able to determine that the TV is likely a Sony Trintron Wega that hit the market in 1998 and still goes for hundreds of dollars on Ebay. While some users are claiming the video is staged, that hasn\u2019t stopped zoomers and others from being amazed at the clip now that it\u2019s resurfaced. \u201cMan I remember my grandma had one of those things, used to be mind blowing,\u201d one user remarked. \u201cSo glad we live in the future,\u201d said another. \u201cAww! It really puts it into perspective though how drastically and quickly technology has changed & improved though. That was really not all that long ago, all things considered,\u201d someone else pondered. Regardless, the video has given a lot of joy to users who long for a simpler time, even if the YouTube clip itself might not be real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
