Are 14” or 19” tube replacements more common?

In the United States, is there a significant difference in availability between these 2 sizes (suitable replacements from disposed consumer TVs)?

I assume 25" are significantly less available, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.

I tend to run into 25 inches quite often, that seemed to be the sweet spot for the "living room" TVs for awhile before Rear Projections started showing up

I never see 19" tubes around here. It's always 13" or 27", I always swipe 19" monitors though.

Sounds like a real problem

where i am at i had to stop taking TVs as there are so many. 19, 25 and 13 are fairly common.

Ok so the smaller size is actually 13" rather than 14"--good to know.

So it seems like the consensus is that 19" actually might actually be the most difficult to find but still easy enough to source.

What about the arcade monitor chassis' themselves? Does size matter (in regards to scarcity)?

I think the chassis availability has naturally do with stock. For instance while there might be a lot of 19 inch tvs, the variety of compatible chassis might be a bit different. Plus some chassis have parts that are now a bit unobtanium (for instance some flybacks are not being reproduced), right now that can affect how many are out there.

Then you have the rabbit hole of medium res chassis which a lot of those seem lost due to the availability of cheap 3rd party monitors back in the day so people junked the stock ones with the other replacements.

So around me 19,20, 25, 27, and 32" are really common and i dont normally have an issue. My real struggle tube is the 13" i very rarely come across them even making my weekly trip to the dump i just dont see them. When i do find them they are almost always in one of those disney tvs. Oh and by far the most common tube hands down is the 14.5-15.3 <at the dump there is always a Huge stack of these old ass computer monitors. For our use they are essentially worthless.

I find this halarious, for like two months all I saw was 13" tubes. I ended up giving two of the three I picked up away and scrapping the third because its tube was toasted. I picked up a 20" one yesterday, another size I never see.
