Best TV to play older games on?

[coolmod]

Def a Sony PVM or a variant of one

I still got a big ass panasonic widescreen 36" CRT which I doubt I can ever sell for a decent price..  these days I'm happy with my panasonic plasma tv..

I'd say sony is best for the old crt's.. but I don't know much about their lifespans except the very older triniton models did have some problem with colour after a few years..

I've never actually seen a CRT that had RGB inputs. Where did you guys find yours?

[SignOfZeta]

In the US only pro monitors have RGB. If there are any consumer "television" monitors (ie: with tuners) with RGB I've never see one.

i finely got the BNC adapters for my plasma.
so now i have compared component to RGB
RGB definitely wins

(PS my plasma is a PVM too. (no tuner, specked for commercial use))

I second's Zeta's recommendation... I have a 29" (or is it 30"?) JVC from, like, 2003 or 2002 or something that has simply one of the best picture's I've seen on a CRT. Even over composite, the Duo looks really sharp.

3rd... i have a 27" JVC D-series... about the same year, nice dark screen and brilliant colours.
i would spend money to get this tv fixed if she ever starts to go on me.

I used to have a Toshiba with the composite/component/s-video inputs that seems to get mentioned a lot in these kinds of threads and I really think it looked the best of all the CRTs. My friend and I ended up getting the same TV because it looks so nice, and it think it's the same TV in the Game Sack video discussing the TV issue. Recommended!

I have a 13" sony trinitron PVM monitor and a 27" sony trinitron flat screen crt. They both look excellent.
The early 2000s Sony CRTs are perfect because they have componant, s vid, composite and rf so you can hook up anything to it and it'll look great and still use a light gun.
I also recommend the PVM monitors, they look fantastic and are perfect for shmups.

So i noticed that when playing my wii on my 27" Sanyo CRT that i will get a light blue circle and a yellow one in the middle of the screen. i haven not noticed this while playing my pc-duo r or my saturn.  I currently have my wii hooked uo using the RGB connection. I have not tried it with AV.

[thesteve]

getting the blue and yellow circle is truly bizarre, and not input mode dependent.
if the image is drawn off screen (bright edges), it can reflect, causing odd curved effects

^maybe thats why i only get it on the wii. I set it up as 4:3 aspect so that shouldnt be the issue. But like i said i have only noticed it with the wii
