Just ran into this TV. Is this the ideal CPC display? It looks pretty great for 80 character display, yet not too big with 40cm tube.
Also it does do stereo.

That looks quite good. On an Amstrad CTM I personally think 80 columns is painful. 

But generally speaking "ideal monitor" is a very personal thing.

I only use CRTs for demos and games (CTM, PVM and 1084s each having various shortcomings). They can't beat a modern panel via RGBtoHDMI (or OSSC if you like) for serious (or monkey) business.
M'enfin!

I do not agree to that, except maybe for a Plasma, as those had SCART RGB with a wicked IQ. Anything LCD does not come close. Maybe OLED can work, but you don't want a too big screen, I think 20" is the max.
If you make hours on programming, you better do that in emulation.

That part, I agree.
