CRT TVs

Whats a good small CRT TV I can stick in the corner of my room for retro gaming

They don't make CRTs any more, so you are SOL.

Don't get a CRT TV. Find a CRT computer monitor with a flat screen. 17", and under are still easy, and cheap to find.

whatever's for sale on ebay, choose from what's available, not from what was top of the market before crts stopped being manufactured
you'd have to really go out of your way to find a new one from a particular model

A PVM

How small?

A CRT computer monitor is going to be VGA. You can't convert the composite or coax from a game console to that without about $50 of gear. They're also harder to find (at least in my city). Everybody through out their CRT monitors ten years ago; but there's still people selling their dead grandma's TV.

OP you'll have to take whatever's available on craigslist. Nobody sells new ones. Thrift stores usually don't even accept them. Electronic recycling depots usually don't let people take their stuff.

Good news: 8~12" professional monitors are still widely available through auctions and classifieds

Bad news: gaming on a screen smaller than ~18" kind of sucks

I played through San Andreas on an 8" PVM last year

>A CRT computer monitor is going to be VGA.
Some were BNC+VGA, and some Hitachi's had dvi.
>You can't convert the composite or coax from a game console to that without about $50 of gear.
What was I even thinking user.
>They're also harder to find (at least in my city).
I'm not even going to ask which city.

OP get a PC monitor.

You want a Sanyo VM4512 OP?
I have one sitting in my office building somwhere

obsolete

Get a PC CRT monitor, and a PC to emulate all the retro consoles.

>emulating consoles you own

this. small 8-13in pvms are usually pretty cheap as in under 100 bucks. everyone wants the bigger 20in monitors.

just make sure it has rgb. usually if it has rgb it'll have component, s-video, and composite.

>emulating consoles you own
It's the only legal way, and it saves a lot of space.

Pretty sure you just need the game for it to be legal, and my point is that if you have the console then you've no need to emulate. You fucking have it.

Get a PC monitor, if you're willing to fuck around with resolution settings, the result is fantastic.

>Pretty sure you just need the game for it to be legal,
Game, and bios.
>my point is that if you have the console then you've no need to emulate.
There are many reasons to emulate your consoles. Save space, keep collection undamaged, online mp sometimes possible, retextures, etc.
There's less reasons to not emulate your retro hardware.

does the commodore monitor have RGA?

This looks perfect. What model is this?

hell yes where can I contact you?

Just check every one of your thrift stores (once every 1-2 weeks).

He never said a new CRT, retard.

>Just check every one of your thrift stores (once every 1-2 weeks).
The thrift stores in my city won't have them. They refused crt donations a few years back.

I can send you some images when I get back to the office. We cleaned up a warehouse recently and we collected a lot of vintage computer equipment, hell I just closed a deal with TLCM for 12k on some old datapoint stuff.

a PVM or small Trinitron.
If you have the option of RGB SCART.

>does the commodore monitor have RGA?
No, but that probably won't be a problem if you're American.

Get a old hitachi set.

Cute :3

Whatever you have available locally.
Mine is a faux wood grain shitter with only coax in. The dell has svideo out and a $4 converter makes it and the 360 work.

>Whatever you have available locally.
Oh yeah, pick that shitty CRT instead of actually putting some effort into it and getting a good one.

>trusting eBay niggers to ship anything properly

This desu. They charge full price or more for shipping but don't pack it right.

>does the commodore monitor have RGA?
Do you mean RGB or RCA? You could get a Commodore 1084 monitor. It can do CVBS with RCA ports, RGB with a din port. You can also get the 1084S which does stereo audio.
