I have a 36" Toshiba CRT, my old 35" Mitsubishi finally gave out a few months ago. I had to knock out part of the entertainment center to fit the new one in but it was worth it. I think it was $30 at Goodwill? Oh, and S-Video when available. :cool:

Right now a 27 inch Sony Trinitron as well but I'll soon be swapping 27 inch Panasonic, not sure what exact model but it looks better than the Trinitron.

Due to space limitations I now use my 42" 1080P Panel, I have upgraded every cable I can (To at least S-Video) and those that are not I plan to in the not too distant future.

Some standard def emerson CRT TV. It has flat glass for its screen and looks very good to me now that I've fiddled with the picture settings some. Inputs are s-video, composite, and component. No 480p.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

47" LG LCD. I don't have space for a CRT, unfortunately.

I currently use a 32" LCD for my retro consoles all using S-video/component or VGA, 50" Samsung 1080p LED DLP HDTV for current gen systems (Xbox 360, PS3). I plan on upgrading to a new 55" Samsung LED 240Hz 3D HDTV by November.

I use to have a few CRT's but they died on me unfortunately so I'm looking to replace it in the near future hopefully if I can make space to fit it somewhere in the gaming room. 8)

Picking up the same size very shortly (I hope). What is your model number?
