For me, the CRT is the centerpiece of my setups. Its not the same without it.

I have an rca 20" , Samsung 14", and a sansui (orion) 27". All have component. And a Sony wega projector TV that actually has the best projector TV picture ive seen.

I just gave my trusty 26" Sharp to a friend. Had her 20 years. Only had composite though. Great sound.

    Ooof, the other answers here make me think the answer is too many!

    I have 6 consumer TVs ranging from 14" to 29", including one 28" 16:9 SD Trintron, which is a novelty for OG xbox… And 10 computer monitors from 15" to 21" (Sony G500, pride of my collection)

    Majority were either free or under $10 usd, the only one I really paid through the nose for was the Sony monitor at ~$120 usd… and before the prices went mad for TVs at least in the last couple of years

    However, people still sleep on PC CRT monitors, I have paid less for all of the above than some people pay for a PVM/BVM, and while none of the ones I have can natively do 240p, they can make a really good, clean emulation setup with a bit of scaling trickery and VGA conversion. Hell, one can take component or RGB directly via BNC if you can feed it a 31khz signal

    None, I don’t have enough room for one and even if I did, I don’t know if I’d want one. CRT enthusiasts go on about how CRT is unmatched when it comes to motion clarity and I wouldn’t want to get used to that experience since we are higly unlikely to get any more of those displays and it could make everything else feel like a severe downgrade.

      Maybe I haven’t used it enough, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I may just need to game more, or play the ‘right’ games. I DO like the crt I have. I don’t at all feel issue jumping on to a modern OLED 55" LG.

      I went though quote a hassle and around $900 getting the CRT I have working. If this was for gaming it wouldn’t have been worth it.

      I have
