Hi folks,
Recently got back in to the games that I grew up on, I've bought a NES, Mega Drive, loads of old PS1 and PS2 games.
Problem is the don't look great on my TV, I've decided I want to find an old school CRT TV.
What would you recommend?
From searching the internet I'm drawn towards SONY Trinitron FV310 series or the Bang & Olufsen MX6000. Both 4:3 aspect ratio, flat screen with plenty of composite inputs. Problem is the SONY seems impossible to locate and the B&O is still £150+
Any ideas and recommendations appreciated

Thanks for the suggestions folks, Gumtree does seem the best bet, but apart from the two models mentioned are there any others I should look out for?
Have to agree with Mike335i though, story and gameplay are far more important than graphics, Metal Gear Solid was amazing back in the day and I still love playing it. Yes, it looks rubbish compared to games these days, even more so on modern TVs, but 20 years ago there was nothing like it

It really is a never ending circle of model numbers, Sony or Bang & Olufsen, 240/480 resolutions etc.
Interesting read that you play PS2 on a modern TV using a converter, what do PS1 games look like? The main reason for the need of a CRT is that I want my PS1 and PS2 games to look as good as possible.
I'll still get a CRT for my NES and Mega Drive though
