And for an actual answer, it depends on the games you have and if you have the proper peripherals (memory cards, analog controller for the few games that require or greatly benefit).
Even getting it connected to a modern TV requires an adapter, and while you might be able to get a “good enough” one for cheap online, it’s kind of a shitshow with unreliable cheap crap all over too.
Honestly if anyone is interested in PS1 amd doesn’t already have the “setup” of a decent CRT and the hardware, they’re probably better off emulating on their PC, maybe using a CRT shader.
If you want the “experience”, you’re better off getting a PS2 and soft-modding it. I wouldn’t even know where to start with trying to find a modchip and the right burnable CDs and drive to burn with for the PS1. Modded PS2s are backwards compatible with all but like one very obscure PS1 game, and they can load from an internal hard drive, network, or USB depending on the hardware model.

Could also get a PS3, depending on how you feel about its settings for displaying on LCDs. That way, you have a console, but it has an HDMI port.
