Hi Guys,
Guess i will pitch-in also with my viewing setup. Because of space limitations, a 53 Sq meter Office/Lab, screen sizes are severely limited.
Living in France, most TVs operate via OTA NTSC & PAL B/G signals generated locally. Sources are OTA DVB-T, DVB-Cable, UK satellite & DVDs.
Vintage TVs - Really old:
Oldest: RCA CT-100, 1954, working, weak Red gun.
Motorola VT-71 "suitcase"
Sentinel TV-400, 7" B&W - "Singer-like sewing machine" aspect.
Sony KV-1310DF, 11" Trinitron, French, 1976
Sony KV-8000, 8", USA transformed to PAL/SECAM, 1980
Sony KV-5000 (8x), 5", USA
Sony KV-5200 (2x), 5", USA
Sony KV-9000, 9", USA
Sony KV-5300, 11", USA
Vintage B&W:
Sony TV5-303W (USA) + Euro CCIR version + French "M" version
Sony TV9-406, mid 1960s, 8" screen, Euro-multistandard.
Celard, French, 1961, 9" transistor TV, 819/625
Panasonic TR-xx miniature "TravelVision Series"
several of each - all 1.5" screens.
Panasonic TR-1000 & TR-1001
Panasonic TR-1010
Panasonic TR-1020
Panasonic TR-1030
Panasonic TR-1030AP
Panasonic CT-101 - 1.5" NTSC Color TV
LCDs: about 30 units, all brands, all countries. I favor later generation TFT screens from Casio, Sony, Philips.
Original & "Far-out":
3 x Sony KVX-370 Indextrons, all rebuilt & operationnal.
Modern - l like to try new technologies:
Fujitsu 42" 1999 Plasma Pro monitor - outdated today but still still works fine.
Sony XEL-1 OLED TV - HD + SD, really beautiful pictures
Aiptek Pocket 20 Lumen LED projector: TV in bed projected on the ceiling, fine for full-darkness TV viewing. FYI, the Oscars are 1:30AM to 06:00 AM Euro time, nicer to watch in bed! - in case you fall asleep!
For those with girlfriends, other applications possible - use your imagination...
6 x RCA/Hitachi 1.5" Beam-Index color viewfinders, all with NTSC standalone tuners - tip: car TV tuner units.
JVC CX-500 series, PAL B/G 1980s combo: 5" color tv (Great dot-type CRT) + radio/audio cassette combo.
Vintage Sharp video projector, XV-P10U, early 80s, had pixels the size of peas, but many fond memories of watching LaserDisk movies on it
