A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I just bought RGB to VGA adapters for my consoles instead (and S-Video to VGA for the earlier 90s consoles that didn't support RGB/VGA without a mod chip).
It was a lot easier to haul a 19" CRT monitor over a 25" CRT TV, due to not only being smaller, but having fewer circuitry as well since you don't need a tuner. The image was a lot sharper too for obvious reasons.
Speaking of which, some of my best memories as young adult involved bringing my XBOX over to my cousins' house, borrowing my aunt's monitor, and bringing it into the living room for some 6-player Halo action. All you needed was two consoles, two copies of the game, two screens, and an ethernet switch—or just a crossover cable if you were playing offline (since wifi on consoles wasn't a thing yet). Four of us would play on the monitor, and the other two cousins would share the TV (cause again the monitor could put out a higher resolution than the TV, so it was better to have the most people on the monitor instead of splitting it 3v3).
It was a lot easier to coordinate and kick ass in online matches, when the team is all in the same room and can see each other's screens. It was the best time of my life and I miss it dearly. I've never had that much fun in a video game since.
