I've been a human ant in the past.I rescued a Visio & Samsung Flat screen,both 32".I actually returned the Samsung because the quality of the Vision was so much better...and flat screens can pile up on you.
I'm going to look into getting a WEGA..I was almost able to get one for free but the rain beat me to it unfortunately...

Nooooo..Too heavy to chance it..it's got some serious weight to it so I need to be at least 75% sure that bad boy will give me something.
This one took on some serious water before I happened on it.

The Neo is connected through S-video in the back of the tv. The composite is currently just going to a switch box, in case I want to use it for other systems.

How much does it weigh?
Why are WEGAs so good? The one or two I've seen, don't have RGB (SCART) inputs.
I would say that QD-OLEDs (such as the Sony A95K) just about match the best CRTs for colours and black levels. So, (maybe) with scan line emulation, they would be able to mimick an RGB PVM almost perfectly. But you could also say that retro games should be played on a curved screen, if you want the authentic look the games originally had.
Normal OLED TVs use WOLED technology, where the colours aren't quite pure RGB. CRTs/PVMs stopped being made in about 2008, so it's taken flat panel TVs 14 years after that to match the colour accuracy of the best CRTs.

Yea the 27" is easy for me, the 36" takes a bit more technique and my lifting belt just to be sure haha

From my very personal experience, if you're not planning to use it for local multiplayer (like a Bomberman tournament), the ideal size of a gaming CRT is between 14" and 20". Anything above that has usually picture geometry issues, and the scanlines almost become a nuisance instead of a plus. Also, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but PVMs are a little bit overrated: any good arcade CRT with a Philips tube (or Toshiba, or some other excellent manufacturer) will take you to gaming heaven.

I only keep a CRT around for lightgun games, but I'd imagine once Sinden offer a packaged solution to allow you to use their gun with OG hardware on a modern flat panel then that thing will be gone.
Why people think they (generally speaking) need a CRT for retrogaming these days is beyond me.
