The smaller the CRT the better it looks due to higher phosphor density. I would recommend finding a 13 inch PVM or RGB moddable Sony from 1994-2005. |
I grew up with ~13" color TV in my room back in early 80s (before that, in late 70s it was even smaller black&white TV), and apart from ~19" in living room, that's where most of my 8/16 bit era in 80s was spent on. 13" feels quite small for TV, but we kids (well, adults as well) were oblivious to radiation coming from them, so we sat very close, pretty much using them as monitors.
I'm not sure I want that close up experience again (for obvious reasons) - my current CRT is 29", which I find to be too big and too...I don't know, not as authentic to feeling of those 80s consumer sets, so I want something smaller, 17-19", but definitively not PVM/BVM. I had some of those at work (I'm in film/TV industry) back in days (SONY, don't remember exact models) and I find them to be too clean and precise for 8/16 bit gaming era.
