I've watched adult material on tube color sets, but I can't recall if I ever ran a monochrome set while playing such material. I watch so little monochrome content, and dislike watching color video in monochrome so my mono sets see very little use.

I like watching tv in black and white.. I am not totally happy with the current monochrome sets I have, but once I get one I like you can bet I will use it a lot!
At first I was thinking early 60s metal cabinet Zenith, but now I am leaning towards a pre-1953 set with a 17" rectangular screen. I want to see what wideband monochrome video bandwidth looks like

I don't want on b/w tvs all the time, but I do enjoy it. I have a 1959 Magnavox b/w console that I like to watch. Haven't in a little bit though. I'm having a slight audio issue, I need to address. Just haven't gotten around to fixing it. I like to watch Perry Mason on it. I've even watched many episodes of Hill Street Blues on it.

Most of my tv watching is done with vintage B&W sets. Since I mostly watch classic tv shows that are only in B&W it doesn't matter. I actually prefer B&W. I don't have any color sets done anyways.

I have a Deluxe RCA KCS-97 in the garage that's begging for me to restore it so I can watch BW films and TV shows on a proper receiver. Maybe this Autumn...

if it is high quality or blu ray i watch it on the 36" hd set , if its below standards i run it on a bw set and it actualy improes the image , none of the garbage in the image is there , looks cleaner but if it is high quality or blu it looks best on the hd set , color or black and white and yes bw can look great on blu and hi def , its a wonderful life , miracle on 34th street and wings are stunning , thing that stinks about wings is the tinting of scenes , i turn the color off , wasn't tinted when i saw a remastered 35mm in the theatre and feel it shouldn't have been titnted

Wings did have tinted scenes originally, a fairly common process in the days of silent films to add mood and drama to certain scenes.
They were probably lost (as is the original negative) in later reissues but were put back when the film was restored. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handschiegl_color_process

I watch my 16" G.E. "Escort" portable quite a bit.

I passed out cold watching Big Bang Theory last night on a Motorola Cadet.
The set worked when I got it, so I figured I'd let it run out to see how it did. Turned it on the other night, fell asleep for about 45 mins, woke up, and the picture wasn't filled out completely on the right side. Let it cool down, fired it up, still not filled out. Put in a new 33GY7 yesterday, turned the set on about 8:30, looked great, fell asleep, woke up at 10:30, picture still looked great, turned set off, went to bed  Now mind you I wouldn't want to fall asleep watching just any vintage TV, but I have 3 Cadets that I have a total of $15 into, so if a part fails or something happens so be it, one of the sets is a parts set anyway.....
