I'm thinking using a smaller resolution TFT (1024x768 native) might be my best bet.   Good picture & small footprint.  Small TFT's might scale better to lower resolution games.

Quite the opposite. The fewer physical pixels on the TFT, the uglier the scaling. You can recreate that in an image processing program if you don't believe me.

If you have the desk space for a CRT, use that. As you write yourself, a TFT is sharp when the resolution is right, but it's really very fuzzy otherwise.

I personally, would never go back to CRT.

Since years of CRT use never damaged my vision, I still prefer CRT. If you are half-blind, I can see how you prefer LCD.

I like the super obvious pixels (if I didn't like the pixels, I'd run Halo on a PC or smear vaseline on the screen), the flexible resolutions, the flexible scan rates and the colours. And I like the fact that there isn't a measurable delay between moving the mouse and moving the mouse cursor.
