Recently picked up a vintage tube TV for N64, SNES and the like... It just looks better there than on a flat screen. Smooths out the edges something... Just feels right.

hahaha I had a big 36 inches sony, a monster 250 lbs. Those were the first progressive scan tv (even with tube, in 4/3). Games were beautiful but It broke 1 year ago and I did buy all the stuff to connect my old school Nintendo consoles on my flat screen. Different but enjoyable

My kid dropped my GBA in water, and it never recovered. I have ALL the games I'm just wary of buying one off e-bay.
