I think its time for me to get rid of my CRT... I really don't want to, but it just takes up so much damn space... I've been looking into things like the retrotink and it seems like there are plenty of solutions out there to play your old consoles on a modern screen but I just dont know how i feel about it... Do any of you have any experience letting go of your CRTs and making the transition to a modern screen? Please share your success stories and setups, I need some inspiration!! |

I have changed out a few CRTs for "modern" screens but I did not get rid of the CRTs. They just go into the basement or somewhere to use as backups. I still have a CRT and HDTV in my living room together, so you always have that option. |

My biggest hangup on getting rid of my CRT is still the lightgun games. Give me a couple of good remakes or ports to the switch where the JoyCon can be used and I'm good, but what if I really want to play Dunk Hunt or Lethal Enforcers? |

Before getting rid of a CRT you should at least buy a modern television with an AV option. You can play your raw consoles on some flat screen televisions buy sometimes plugging the yellow cable into the green hole, but it don't always work, here is a topic earlier. about that https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8942.msg151145.html#msg151145 Personally I would use the CRT as a spare television, I got a CRT as a gift and it's not in the way of anything. but mine can't play light gun games since it's a digital CRT. |

Even with composite connections on modern TVs, it just doesn't look as good as on a CRT with older consoles; same goes for VHS. Hanging onto my CRTs until they finally die. But if I was still stuck in a small apartment like when I first moved out, decisions would have to be made. |
