How big is the TV you play GE/PD on?

I play multi on my 46'' Samsung LCD.  My wife also plays on that one, since she doesn't have the best vision.

But as far as speedrunning goes, I play on a 21'' small Sylvania which is hooked up to the VCR that I record on.  My 64 is plugged straight into the VCR which makes it convenient to record with.  My DVD recorder is also sitting right next to my set up so that when I need to make video I can simply unplug the VCR from my TV and plug the DVD recorder in and record.

Overall it's a pretty simple set up and I often wonder why everyone who is capable of this doesn't utilize it,  since it makes the best quality vids that I have seen.  Personally I hate watching European vids and some others (Goose's and some of Clemens' ) that look like they have a camcorder pointed at the TV.  For the people that have no other way of doing it, OBV there is nothing to be done about this, but for the one that are just lazy, SHAME ON YOU!

I think smaller TV is better for speedrunning. I play on a 42" TV though.

My most recent PR (1:15 Streets) came on my 15" TV with a VCR built into the bottom that I used in college, that I have set up right next to my PC monitor. I think I prefer playing on that over my 42" widescreen plasma that I use for the 360. But most of my career I used a 19" screen that was in my bedroom, only occasionally playing on the main family 27".

The worst I ever PRed on was a 12" black and white piece of junk from the 70's that I brought along on a vacation in like '99.

Not sure, but the one I got like all my wrs on as far as I remember was like 25 at least, I think the one I have in my room here at school now on which I still have barely played on is like 18 or something.

42" LG Plasma widescreen, yeah it's weird speedrunning on at first but I got used to it. I also have a 26" tube which I had used since I joined in 2000 (got the 42" last December). It would be better speedrunning on the smaller one but it's not worth the hassle of using 2 different TVs for stuff. I'm in the process of buying a house with my girlfriend and then I'll have her 36" tube which I'll probably use just for GE speedrunning.

I play on a good old big Samsung tv from the 90's. Great size and sound. I'm not used to play on different tv's and defently not small tv's like at the Swedish meeting 09
