CRT Queries

This page showcases advanced queries powered by Semantic MediaWiki (SMW). Every CRT model in the wiki stores its specs — screen size, brand, inputs, outputs, mods, and more — as structured semantic properties. That means we can ask the wiki surprisingly specific questions and get live, always-up-to-date answers.

These queries run against real data in the wiki, so as new models are added and existing ones are updated, the results here update automatically.

Want to learn more about writing your own queries? See the SMW inline queries documentation.

Smallest CRT(s) with component video

Which CRT with a component video (YPbPr) input has the smallest screen? Useful for finding compact sets that still accept higher-quality analog signals.

Smallest screen size with this input: 13"

#	Model	Brand
1	JVC BM-H1300SU	JVC
2	JVC BM-H1310SU	JVC

Largest CRT(s) with S-Video

On the flip side — what's the biggest screen you can get with an S-Video input? Great for finding large-format sets for retro gaming.

Largest screen size with this input: 43"

#	Model	Brand
1	Sony PVM-4300	Sony

Hold on. Well, of course the world's largest CRT would show up for that query. 🤦‍♂️ Let's try it again, this time excluding that specific model:

Largest screen size with this input: 38"

#	Model	Brand
1	Sony KV-ES38M91	Sony
2	Sony KV-ES38M61	Sony
3	Sony KV-ES38M90	Sony
4	Sony KV-ES38M31	Sony
5	RCA F38310	RCA

That's better! Models that are actually obtainable. 👍
