What type of display do you use to play video games on?

Just curious about what you guys use to play your games on. I myself used to play my PS2 on my 29 inch, Standard Definition (420p) CRT TV. Recently I purchased a 23 inch Dell PC Monitor (with HDMI input) because after I got my XBOX 360 a couple of months ago I just couldn't make out any of the small text on the 29 inch TV. I will probably in the near future (not this year though) get me some form of HD TV that's at least 32 inches in size.

Yeeeeah, I'm the one person who chose the last option
Our only TV is an ancient Phillips model we've had for...oh, just 16 years. So it's an extremely old kind that's fuzzy and has tons of static electricity and the screen itself is only about as big as my face. It hasn't broken in all that time, though the sound has almost completely blown out of one side, so we haven't seen any need to go splurging on some newfangled HD TV.
And the monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 753s
) for my PC is also ancient - just 9 years old this time - and is that old kind they had before flatscreens became universal. It flickers, and the refresh rate is sometimes headache-inducing, but it's a hardy piece of equipment.
Way more so than the beautiful flatscreen we
did get a while back, which only lasted like four years.
I laugh at new technology!

Any old tech would be Standard Definition, which would be 480p and NOT 420p like I accidently typed up (can't believe noone corrected me on this error so far).

22" computer monitor, and if my graphics cards can pull it I run at 1680x 1050.

I have a 25" SDTV that we use for PS3 games. It is...not ideal.

Typically I play on either the HD thing in the basement or the Standard TV in the main room. Depends on the game, and what console it's for.
I've never had a handheld system.
So if I could, I'd pick both the first and second option.

I have a 32" standard-definition CRT - it's a very good thing all the games I can tate are only on my computer. Speaking of which, my laptop has a 15" screen; I'm not sure about the definition, but the graphics card isn't that good anyway. (Doubly speaking of which, does anyone have a good USB stick they can recommend? I'm curious how this tating thing would work...)

Oh and I didn't vote because PC monitors don't really conform to the SD/HD definitions usually, especially once you get a powerful enough graphics card involved.
