Save yourself the money and hassle of setting it up and just get yourself an old Sony Trinitron CRT for cheap.  Component & S-video look awesome on mine.  Heck even composite looks great.

It's true. A good condition PVM crushes all HD fakery. When you just *have* to play games and you can *only* have one display (which, people assure me, is the case, people who somehow have room for 5600 f*cking games in their house) and it *has* to be a 100" LCD billboard that itself takes up more room than several SD displays, then without question the stuff from Micomsoft is the only sane solution to your f*cked up "problem".

Or, if you have $45 plus gas money you can get the unquestionably quintessential OG gaming experience and just buy a f*cking PVM for f*cks sake. You don't even need to mod anything. Even composite looks great on these things and Y/C looks %90 as good as component.

I'm moving into a new house, I was looking for a PVM myself.  In all seriousness, where can I get one of these for $45?  My plan was just to grab someone's free Trinitron or something from Craigslist, but a reasonably sized PVM would be great.  Seems like the 20" ones go for 2-300 on ebay last I checked.

I use a Sony Trinitron.  I think I paid $25 at the Salvation Army.  It has S-video, Component, and Composite.  I love it for vintage gaming.  I never said to get a PVM.  Those things are expensive and you need a shit ton of cables to hook them up properly.  I have thought about picking a PVM up before but they are 200+ whenever I see them pop up.  Screw that.

I started out using my rgb modded PC engine duo on my benq LCD and for a while I loved it.

Fast forward last couple months and I got a tg16 CD setup and I modified it for s-video.  I honestly prefer the s-video on my 20" Toshiba crt to the RGB on the duo.  Looks better than composite yet not so pixelated like the RGB did.  Guess what I'm saying is the s-video looks less emulator like.

I have a couple CRT's with component outputs, so I tend to use RGB SCART to Component for my PC Engine/Turbo gaming. It even looks good with that connection on my el-cheapo LCD.

But I have noticed that even going the "standard" route with these consoles, the composite signal is still very acceptable. Even RF isn't terrible.

Compare that to composite out of, let's say, a Genesis console, and it's like day and night.
