    Just to settle an arguement that most people here will either have a HDTV and use a CRT for older consoles or use a CRT exclusively.

    I use a widescreen HD CRT for everything. Up to 1080i is good enough for me :nod:

    I just use a multi-region 15" crt for everything. Wouldn't mind a bigger TV but just don't have the space or funds.

    37" LCD for everything despite ps2/sat tate-shooters that I play on a flipped CRT. Once I have an arcade cabinet though, I will flip my CRT back into normal position and use it to play normal Saturn and PC-Engine/MD games which I use to play currently on my LCD (looks really bad most of the time).

    I have also a tate pc monitor standing next to my 2 normal pc monitors to play tate Dreamcast-shooters.

    I used to use just a 32" LG HDTV but my retro looked shit on it, so a few weeks ago I also got hold of a 25" Toshiba CRT off eBay, it's a bloody good TV. So I have the best of both worlds now.

    I use a 20" Sony Trinitron for the almost everything but I have a 37" Panasonic HDTV for xbox/xbox360. I sometimes use the Dreamcast VGA on the HDTV, its a shame almost no games supported widescreen.

    Even on a good HDTV I was not happy with classic RGB input.

    40 inch 1080i Olevia I use for my PS3/360/PC, and my 30 inch Toshiba for anything older and cannot support widescreen above 720p. Only problem with the Toshiba is it has a effect on any non-2D games that make it stutter a little.
