True

I have a lot of retro media that basically requires a CRT TV

Nah, it's not required at all. That being said, I do kind of wish I would have kept one for old games. I do fine without it, though, and I don't know where I'd store a huge 32" CRT.

Yup, I got a 32" that I use for my GameCube and such. I did just buy a 20" 4:3 EDTV LCD at Goodwill for $5. It's pretty nice too

I haven't owned one since 2012.

Some games look like ass on LED/LCD but I just put up with it. I also got rid of all my old consoles years ago.

Not at all a requirement, and a pain to move around, but it is nice to have for older games.

Ooh, I hadn't thought about Melee. I would like to change my vote from true to false.

Nah, I'm through with CRTs. If I need to play old games, I just deal with it.

It's 100% impractical and unnecessary when you're an adult always maintaining proper space and efficiency in the home.

I use a projector instead for Gamecube, N64, PS3, PS2 and the SNES Classic anyway. Works fine for me.

why the PS3 tho

I don't have a standalone bluray player in the living room so I use it for that.

False, but I do because I like to play N64 games.

One day I hope to get a PVM when I'm done with my phd. I really hope the price doesn't rise too much in that time frame.

You don't need a CRT for Melee anymore with Slippi, all the Melee pros say it is just like playing on a CRT. Plus it is free, with online ranked/unranked matchmaking and nearly lagless rollback net code.

I wish I had one still. Gonna need a special hookup on this Roku to play N64, Dreamcast, etc., and they'll probably still look like crap afterwards, haha.

why would you watch Blu-rays on a projector tho

Because watching films on a projector is an enjoyable theater substitute and is reliable for game parties.

I dont see a need for one for me, but if it gives you enjoyment, more power to you.
