I use a Toshiba 20" flat-screen CRT (I'll try to pull the model # if interested) based on the recommendation of another retro-enthusiast and it looks incredible. I was also pleased that it sported two RCA inputs (one front and one rear), one RF, one S-Video and one Component, making it very friendly to multiple, simultaneous hook ups.

A lot of people seem to recommend Trinitrons, though I've not seen the results first-hand, so I can't compare. Before I heard about/found my Toshiba, I was looking for a Trinitron but most of them were either too far away, didn't have the proper connections, or were priced higher than I was willing to pay.
This is the one I use, sounds like the same:

Best CRT I've ever had. I've got two of them in fact. One from a garage sale, the other from the thrift store. Joe from Game Sack also uses it primarily. 

 
Yep. That's the one. It was Joe that recommended it to me, in fact. I'll echo that it is really an amazing TV for retro gaming.

Although one minor note, I have noted that certain games seem to have the image shifted about a half inch up (this is noticeable when playing Gauntlet II or Turtles in Time). I'm curious if you've noticed anything like that on your Toshiba and whether it's just a quirk of my particular set. I've not found any controls in the menu for vertical positioning but it also doesn't seem to happen on every game, just select titles, which seems odd to me. Yeah I get some of that on the left vertical side and on the bottom horizontal side. Not very often though.

I always hear that the Trinitron is the best although I have yet to find one. I am still hoping, though.
Oddly enough, that thrift store I was talking about with all of the Dreamcast games had one of these bad boys. I would have bought it if it was bigger. ]]> Best CRT TV to game on? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=155779 2015-12-02T14:41:15 -05.00 Crazy4NES 31 Originally posted by: Silent Hill

That's the tv I have as well composite nes and s-video genesis look amazing on it.  I believe it was one of the last models released from toshiba around 2002.  It has s-video and component and at 20" it's not that big of a tank to move around.

 I also have a commodore 1702 that I use when I feel like it.

Well, IMO the best CRT TVs are the regular cheap ones that can be found in any second hand store - that's the way I remember playing the NES back then. It's even better if the CRT TV is wrapped in wood grain veneer what he said
