> Outside of that, we have a "retro" corner in our home with a 32" trinitron.

A 32” Trinny. Nice. I have the 32” JVC D-series which I consider my crown jewel. It’s for retro gaming and I have a laserdisc player but a very limited selection of movies. Analog baby.

> Sadly though, as I get ready to take on a mortgage, it's likely most of my CRT's will be sold

Mortgage = space. You won’t believe the nooks and crannies you can fit CRTs into. Attic. Shed. Crawl space. Space under basement stairs. Heck, even the neighbors house. I have no less than 14 CRTs ferreted away in the house. Wife thinks I have only 5. Get creative. Don’t worry about the elements, these puppies were built to survive nuclear blasts. Do I have a sickness? Probably. But analog!!!

Speaking of laser disc it's wild how vivid colors are on that platform. My main example movie is Star Trek First contact and everything is very colorful. DVD is muddy. Even a Blu-ray copy kinda looks like crap. A total side note is the surround sound for that movie is absolutely awesome especially the cube battle scene.

> I have the 32” JVC D-series which

I would love one of these however I have never seen one in my country. Super jealous haha! The tubes they use apparently were an american made tube, with most of the JVCs that were released in my country using different tubes than those released in the US market.

That being said, I do own two JVC "broadcast" monitors that I love. A 17" and a 19". They are no D-series real "TV" but.
