What TV's do we all use?

So i was wondering what the type of TV's we use for our Retro Gaming..

Myself i have a 50/50 split.

My DC, Gamecube and N64 are connected to my 42 in LCD.

My Jag, Megadrive and SNES are connected to my 32 Sony 4:3 CRT.

No 16:9 sets in my house. Only my main TV, a Sanyo 36" CRT. Also have a Sanyo 19" CRT, but it is really old and only has RF input.

For gaming I use two TV's: a 19" Panasonic PVC2062 Combo TV/VCR and a 27" LCD TV. I play most games on the Panasonic TV but I prefer the LCD TV for my Jaguar and Genesis games.

I have two 14" TV's in my bedroom which have the ST and Spectrum connected to them but I mainly drag those to shows.

In my living room I have a 20" TFT LCD that has all my consoles connected to it via a scart switcher.

Really how comes if you don't mind me asking pal?

I don't have a widescreen TV either, or an HD one for that matter.

No widescreen or LCD crap here.

As posted in another thread, this is my main gaming TV:

21" 4:3 Flat CRT

..and my PC monitor is also a 21" 4:3 Flat CRT:

The economy has been really tough and $400+ just hasn't been in the budget. I can see why Laird has considered selling his collection to help with finances. Can't say it hasn't crossed my mind either.

Many folks seem to hate LCD but I have one that works really well, even with all my old 8-bit systems.Â Here's a photo of the TV with my TurboGrafx connected via RF.Â The brand name is 'Dynex'.Â I'd never heard if the company before I bought this TV but I've had it maybe three years with no problems at all.

Yeah my LCD is really nice with my old systems too, but then again its not a huge one that fills half my wall which probably helps.

I have a Phillips CRT 21" that I used to use for the Jaguar. That is now in the bedroom awaiting me to set it up again. Meantime, I treated myself over Christmas to a 1080p 32" LED Samsung and I will soon be trying out the Jag on that little baby :4:

I used to have almost everything hooked up to a 32" Sharp LCD HD in my living room but it was just too cluttered and I didn't like the way some of the old games looked on it so I did some rearranging last year. I basically turned half my bedroom into a game room with a Sony 27" CRT that has everything hooked up to it prior to last gen.
The only consoles connected to the LCD now are the PS3, 360, Wii U, and Ouya.

I use an NEC XM29 as my main retro gaming display. It's a 'multimedia presentation monitor'... 29" 4:3 CRT. Supports NTSC/PAL/SECAM/480p. It has inputs/adapters for composite, s-video, SCART RGB, component, and 15-pin VGA. It's housed in a sturdy rectangular shell and is easily tated to vertical for arcade gaming. Awesome. :28:
