What do you play retro consoles on?

I recently cleaned out my living room. Got rid of my desk which was falling apart and used a slightly newer desk that nobody else was using. Now I have a dedicated CRT space.

Core Setup:
  • CRT: Sharp CSR20027
  • Stereo Receiver: JVC RX-6020V
  • Speakers: Pioneer SP-BS22-LR
Console Line-up:
  • MiSTer FPGA - Component
  • Dreamcast - S-Video
  • PlayStation 2 - Component
  • PlayStation 3 - Component
  • Wii - Mustard
Accessories:
  • Brook Zero Pi Fighting Board Arcade Stick - MiSTer, PS3
  • OEM Controllers - Dreamcast, Wii, PS2
Plans
  • Saving up for a pair of Brook Wingman SD converters for Dreamcast now that I have space for my Dreamcast.
  • Also planning to get a pair of Wingman PS2 converters. I sold my Hori HRAP2 several years ago and kinda regret not keeping it until I had converters.

This is Slap Happy Rhythm Busters for PlayStation 1 in case anybody asks.
 
I don't know the specific model, but I have a Pacific CRTV that works pretty well. Got it in a bundle with a Sega MegaDrive 2.
 
Also doing most of my gaming on a 27" CRT setup. Have my Sega Genesis, SNES, and PS2 hooked up to it. My AV splitter has four slots, so I swap the last slot between my Saturn, Dreamcast, N64 or GC.
 
I just plug them into my Vizio TV ever since my Sharp CRT TV died on me. I have HD cables for my SNES, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast. It works well enough for now, but I do intend to get a Retrotink at some point.
 
For retro gaming I most of the time play on either on NSO out of convenience or on my Retroid Pocket 3+ during my commute. If I want to play Gamecube, Wii or Dreamcast I play them on my modern Samsung QLED paired with OSSC for a nice crisp picture with scanlines.

Really looking forward to moving to a new in march. Then I will have enough space to bring out my 14 inch Philips CRT I got laying around. It's nothing great but it's a consumer level set that is probably on par with what I grew up with. Going to be great for PS1 and N64 games.
 
A big Sony Trinitron for most consoles, and a smaller "weird trademark" one for retro computers and 3DO.

Should pic some kind of "adapter" to fit more consoles on the same TV.
