TaskenLander Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I play all my games on This 27' Sony Wega Trinitron, which I scored off of Craigslist for $15.00. Perfect TV for retro gaming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pull them down for the Houston Arcade Expo, or if I'm in the mood to play my 7800 (still need to get it modded for composite and S-Video): 13" RCA 14" Magnavox 13" Orion There's also the Vectrex, which has a built in 9" display: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I did play on a 13" CRT but it died. Now I have a 19" CRT. I should probably buy a spare or two at Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I usually use my 20" Sony Trinitron to play games or else the 13" Sony Wega. Once in a while I break out the Samsung GXTV for some 90's flashbacks for Genesis or SNES games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumerNivek Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 40" Sony Bravia HD TV for the 2600...sits right above the Wii U. I use the RF connection and the picture looks good. I am sure it would look even better with an A/V mod, but the RF antenna input is good enough for me. I also have the NES on this 40". I am planning on getting a 7800 and will be hooking it up to the RF in my 55" Panasonic plasma downstairs. Hopefully the RF hook up for the 7800 will work good on the plasma...I guess I could try out my Atari Pong unit to see how well that plays through the RF antenna.

Saneless Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 65 LCD. Which is terrible. The 27" Trinitron is in the MAME cabinet but I plan on picking up a craigslist 25" or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribble101 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 20" CRT. An RCA Colortrak from 1985, not very big but it does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WienerWuerstel Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I use a 25" Sanyo 28H1A for all my retro gaming needs. Probably going to "upgrade" to a Trinitron when the Sanyo TV bites the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstari Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 32" Celestial CRT, only about 10 years old. Have this hooked up to several retro consoles, including 2600 and Jaguar. Also have it hooked up to a Wii so the TV can be used for emulators, Netflix and WiiMC (media player). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 42" Panasonic Plasma. Hooked up to Onkyo surround system, mostly to get the nice bass response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingyi Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 20" LCD through S-Video (though I'm trying to figure out how I can get a 20" CRT stuffed into my cabinet ). I have a 40" LCD for my XBOX 360 and WII, but don't like the 2600 or NES / SNES WII emulator on it. There's something about the smaller screen that brings back memories (both visual and muscle) that the larger screen just can't capture!

retrorussell Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 All my emulated games (Genesis, NES, Atari, etc.) are on a 60-inch Sharp, same with the PS3. PS2 is on like a 29-inch Magnavox in my bedroom I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ventrra Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A reasonably Nice Sony Trinitron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A 13" JVC TV one of my neighbors left on the side of the road. It was a nice compact CRT solution for my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyeball Mural Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I never miss a chance to gush about my lovely 32" NetTV CRT. It plays my Atari games and my old 1970's TV shows beautifully, haha! I can add, in response to some above comments, that in my area as well (southeast Tennessee) the Goodwill stores have ceased taking CRT TV sets. I tried to unload four of them over the holidays, now they are in the backyard covered in snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I run everything off my low input lag 42' LEDTV however by everything i mean everything emulated though PC via DVDI-VGA input. I stopped dedicated collecting and chose emulation a couple years ago after finding the right TV to run my PC on for gaming. Unfortunitally my job, Mrs and not enough room in the house makes it a little tricky to have a games room, Mrs isnt a gamer like myself. Still got my systems in storage though. Must say i preffer it in a way as it makes the house look a bit nicer and neat when people come around. With Stella and a few other great emulators im like a pig in s#!t with how they run and quality on the large screen. Im picky when it comes to accuarcy and quality so emulator aspect correction and maybe a filter or two are, by far my choice on a modern TV rather then original hardware. Other then that if TV isnt free i play them on the laptop, like i have been for this season of 2600HSC Original hardware and a trusty old CRT is the best experiance but for this day and age and where life is at emulation suites me fine.

simbalion Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Right now I am using my 19 inch, LCD Toshiba DVD combination set to 4.3 mode. Does ok. I have some older CRT sets that I need to fiddle with, but I have a 1973 Zenith color console set with the 23 inch CRT that I hope to get rebuilt and use someday. Mostly tubes with some socketed transistors on a metal, hand-wired chassis baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I use a 42" Insignia LED/LCD for all my systems retro and modern. All of my primary retro systems are AV modded with either composite or s-vid with the exception of my Intellivision as those still look pretty good through the RF. The Genesis was by far the worst offender on RF and composite on this LCD though, which is what prompted me to start AV modding all of my consoles in the first place.

GrimlockDESTROY Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Got this little 13 inch @ goodwill for $5 about two years ago , it's a 1989 model Broksonic 110 and even has woodgrain on the top and sides. This tv has an excellent picture for my Atari games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
