mikey.shake Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Funny, I was searching for this thread yesterday for guidance while I was Craigslisting. I'm flopped on the couch right now after getting a free 27-inch Trinitron up a tiny, precarious stairwell to our third-floor downtown walkup, only almost dying twice. I've been playing on my cheapo Dynex 42" plasma until now, but this Sony went in the bedroom, just because my wife found it for free last night. If I ever have to move it again, I'm going to smash it into little pieces and take it downstairs in small boxes. But I gotta say, it does look really, REALLY good for games.

flammingcowz Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I recently bought a new LED TV and was surprised that all of my old consoles work on it without lag. My Atari looks really good on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) A 27" Sanyo LCD HD tv. I also have a 19" RCA picked up for $3 in mint condition from the goodwill store used predominetley for light gun games. I use mainly my 4 switch woody for my 2600 gaming and even the 7800. I like my heavy sixer, light sixer, and vader to be kept in pristine condition. Edited April 7, 2015 by Retrogamer81081 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I grew up playing atari (well, video games in general) on a 13" TV (old GE in my case, cable only, mono) For Atari it's perfect. I would occasionally sneak it into the living room and play on our console TV (25 or 27", don't know, but some of the gmaes had funny stereo sound effects on that old TV) Now days I play on a 19" Stereo CRT most of the time. I don't really like how the games look on an LCD, but this size of CRT just feels right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Brigadier Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Had been on a 32" LCD, but recently hooked it back up to a CRT, 13". The LCD did a decent job, actually, but the CRT is a lot more responsive, picture looks better with the Atari, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGQuarterly Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have a 20" CRT and 2 13" CRTs that I play games on. One of the 13-inches is in TATE orientation for playing shooters. Both 13" monitors are on my desk, while the 20" is in front of a lounge chair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFL Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I just use an old Panasonic 14" CRT. I've tried to play VCS games on an LCD screen but, for me, they just look awful and I've sometimes found some kind of lag between joystick and screen. One of the untouchable positives of the VCS is just how responsive the games are. To lose that immediacy because of a modern telly is just something I'm not willing to put up with. CRT tellys are easily found for free these days and small ones (like mine) don't really take up that much space. PS: This thread should've been a poll.

Papa Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I play on this usually.. It's an 81 Sony VideoScope projector TV. It's over fifty inches but the whole screen isn't filled up, so.. I also use it for movies and other game systems. When in the arcade I play on one of these for Atari.. This one has a Gemini and I think it's a nineteen inch screen.. And this one has a 7800 and also a nineteen inch screen.. I also play on computer screens with emulators, but prefer CRT over all the others.
