Only on roadtrips. It has it's own screen. This assumes you are intentionally making a distinction between VCP and VCR.
Something can be a VHS player and not be a VCR, something can be a VCR and unable to accept VHS, something can be a Video Tape Recorder that is unable to interact with any cassette.
What sort of things do you watch on your CRT TV, genuinely curious?
Depends which one, but in my view anything worth watching.
Yeah, that's videos of whatever format. Gaming systems of whatever stripe. Discs, be they DVD, VCD, CD-V, Vinyl (if I can get the belt running; Daj Boże), laserdisc (technically already mentioned). Blu-ray if I have to but I hate when filmmakers release exclusively to that format because I have to use a downstepper to convert the HDMI output they're only putting on the damned players these days and at that point just sell me a DVD. The picture quality would be comparable* and superior in the realms of ease of connecting to a computer more easily (you priced external BR drives? yeesh) and ease of watching. How many Blu-Ray players is a person liable to have, the one? Another? I hope you feel like watching it wherever they're set up. DVD you can throw in a a €9 external drive, any laptop made after 2007 and before you started needing external drives, any of a dozen cheap DVD players you may have haven't thrown away, a Playstation2, a hacked Wii, that karaoke machine you keep in your kitchen. They made mad portable players as I recall; you could watch your DVD film in a park
Also DVD menus don't utilize java. Fuck off. Much as I'm wont to point out ain't no tape ever told me [OPERATION PROHIBITED], no DVD has ever tried to connect to the internet while I watched it. Bad Disc!
*I haven't actually tested this but with the number of film sets sold with both editions and an RCA triswitch I easily could.
And yeah, you can get amassed cultural production and contemporary films on both DVD andVHS, but the great thing about analog signals is they're agnostic. You can convert the hell out of them. Convert Display to VGA then convert VGA to RCA then set your display port as a second monitor and you can wirecast anything you could watch through your display port (silverlight used to be snooty about that). Invideous tube instances, films off Archive.org, Vimeo, Peertube, Tubi, probably flash animations if you had a legacy player. Basically whatever the kids are watching these days you can A-hole out to the kind of TV Sonic would smash rings out of.
There are some media that just don't work, usually that utilizing really fine lines such as small text.
I view that as a failing of the media maker and not my viewing habits.
Make you lines thicker you want I should read them.
Most stuff (especially older but even most modern) looks fine-to-fantastic
Of course you don't have to "watch" anything as such. You can plug in a camcorder directly into a TV and pretend you're a news anchor.
