If it's enormous and not thin like a panel than it's a CRT.

Ah okay.  I got ya.  Mine is CRT   :)  I  always search for a tubed standard tv when I go thrifting because I thought since mine was flat it was not CRT.  Thanks!   :D

I would love to get a Philco Predicta. They really are a thing of beauty.


Edit: Apparently there's a company that makes reproduction sets. http://www.predicta.com/gallery.shtml My God I want one.

Supposedly the Sony Trinatrons are the best CRTs for retro gaming. I wish my GX TV was bigger. The sound I have coming from that and these http://www.telecommander.com/pics/links/speakers/alteclansingxa3001subwooferrt/spk-xa3001-box.jpg is amazing in my room.

I'm glad you put this advice on here.  Do you know which year Trinatron is the best and why do you say the Trinitron is best for retro?
