I feel like hitting the time period is more important than 'was it common?' The 40" Sony CRT RPTV MSRP $9999 in 198X for NES would be cool, but a fake wood-paneled console TV would be "more accurate" for the household childhood experience with the console itself.
I thought of another good monitor, an Impression 3 or Impression 5 for 14 or 15". Infiniti brand as well. Can barely find google pics since I can't remember exact model numbers.
