Does screen size influence collecting?

How am I going to lift that sonofabitch?
How am I going to fit that sonofabitch into my car?
Can I borrow a pickup truck to haul that sonofabitch back to my house?
Can I put that sonofabitch in the truck bed without throwing my back out?
How am I going to get that sonofabitch into my house?

"That's got to be Quint."
"Colorful, isn't he?"

Ideally I would have a separate room to store TVs I'm not using and rotate them as daily watchers.

I find so few that I like and I don't collect RCA, so I'm slow to run out of space.

Due to space constraints, I strictly collect smaller sets.

I'm known for my large collection of 5" Sony Trinitron sets (I have 11. I have a copy of each model as well)

However I do have other larger more modern sets. I have a 36" Wega Sony I use for old games and LaserDisc movies I trash picked because it looked so nice and had the original remote taped to the top, it's even super low hours. I have 14" Sony PVM I use for retro video games in RGB.

I also have a 13" Sony Trinitron set I have owned since it was given to be as a child in 1991. It still works. I'm holding on to a 12" Sony set from 1975 that works, and I don't have the heart to throw it out.

My rule is: Nothing over 20". I can move 20" sets around and I can store them in my storage unit.
