Well, I'm a huge fan of early portable Sony Trinitron color sets (From the 1970s), because they are extremely solid, well-built, made in Japan, and produce an absolutely brilliant picture when in proper working order. They're also very unique looking in an awesome retro stylish way. My KV-9200 (9" CRT) is the perfect TV for my desk, and I have yet to find anything newer I'd be happy with in comparison for this application.

As far as larger televisions go, I've really come to love vintage Zeniths. The color roundies, and early rectangular models, with such stylish (in a classic, simplistic way) design, in magnificent wood cabinets; they are simply beautiful. I've unfortunately never seen one in-person, but from what I've seen on here they can produce a beautiful picture when working to spec. Some day I would love to own one and even use one as my daily watcher.
