14-15" CRT for the shallowest depth?

Hi, I want to pick up a CRT for retro gaming but depth is my limiting factor. I know Samsung did some shallow TV's but they were only in the larger sizes.

Does anyone know of a model or range in 14-15"?

AFAIK there aren't any slim type CRT TV's in this size range. The average depth is around 30cm for most portable TV's.

I can't tell you the measurements, but I was shocked when I bought a new Toshiba TV/VCR combo for my kitchen and it was so much deeper than the very elderly Matsui I'd picked up from Freecycle. So it might be worth setting a search on eBay and comparing the depths for a while to see how shallow you can go... it'll involve lots of ASQs though

BTW, the Matsui was in a poor state, cosmetically and functionally - but when I attached a Freeview box it was perfect.
