so i have a one room house in my backyard that is really small, but i want to turn it into a game room. i got that bit covered, but i was wondering if any anons on /vr/ could give me any advice on what type of oldschool crtv's would be small enough to fit but optimal for that crisp 80's/90's aesthetic.

>> No.5044063

23-27" is the optimal size, but if that's too big you can go down to as much as 19". No smaller than that, though, else there's no real point, as it would be too small to even appreciate.

Don't turn on more than one system at a time.

View distance dictates screen size. There's no recommending an "optimal size" without knowing how far you'll be sitting from the thing.

Literally anything, you'll probably get more mileage if it has component and s-video.

Trinitrons are memed but good tvs. Sharp makes good tvs with shadowmask. RCA good, literally any crt that is somewhat "name brand" will be great.

No confirmation, but the guess is too many things plugged in at once.
