What's your gaming "set up?"
« on: January 10, 2012, 08:35:15 PM »
Do you use a CRT TV? Big screen, small screen? Stereo speakers or mono through the TV? Just curious to know what people are playing their TG-16 or PCE on!

I have a smaller apartment, so I just play mostly on a 40" LCD TV in the living room. I do have an awesome little flat screen CRT 9" TV that's set up on my desk that gets some time on it as well. Of course I have a region-modded PCE/CD for each TV  :mrgreen:

Picture spam time :-"

RGB modded PCE Super CD-Rom on the left, Super Famicom on the right. Feeding into the glorious new XRGB-mini.
This is sharing my PC monitor at the moment. The 360 pad is for PC games (I don't own a 360). One of these days
I want to get a nice 27" monitor.
  edit:
For audio, my game systems go into the XRGB, get sent along the HDMI cable to the monitor, then use the
monitor's audio out jack to feed into the Topping TP30 amp. There are a bit too many A-D conversions going on
there than i'd like, but it sounds fine so I'm in no rush to change it.

One of many:


Sony Trinitron 27". Not pictured is subwoofer+satellite speakers (because TV speakers are nice, but don't capture full beauty of sound).

Nice. These days I'm loving the H.R. Giger Super CD-Rom system. It's design teeters between madness and awesomeness.

I use a 20-inch Toshiba CRT for everything pre-Dreamcast.  I have an external stereo system for the sound.  I would really like to remove the speakers from inside the TV because I think they cause a bit of gaussing during bright, solid-colored scenes that happen so often in older games.  I have no use for the TV audio anyway.  Just need to be less lazy.

19" LCD TV hugged on either side by a CoreGrafx and XBox 360. It doubles as my computer monitor.

I use a 37" Sony Trinitron Flat screen(Not flat panel) CRT TV. It looks awesome and you can find them cheap now since everyone is upgrading to flat panel TVs. I got mine for $100 2 years ago from a private seller. It took 3 people to move it since they are so dam heavy. I've seen a couple at good will now for $70. The picture below isn't mine but is the same exact model.

*ahhhhhhhh...* Total Zen.

I'm drooling.  May I ask how much you paid for it?  Was it easy to setup?  I got a new flat panel LCD and a RGB modded Duo R that I would love to connect to it.  This looks like the easiest way to go.

My brother has the same TV.  He got his off of craigslist for free a few years back.  Yes, those TVs are damn heavy behemoths, but well worth having if you got the room.

Lol, I had one of these for the longest time, and recently gave it away.  I knew I was moving again and didn't want to move it.  I tried selling it on Craigslist, but it wouldn't sell.  So I gave it to a friend. 

I kind of miss it.

Nowadays I use a 27" JVC.  Both of those TVs I bought new long, long ago. 

I'll be taking pics of the Duo I got from Bernie soon so I'll add a pic of my setup to this thread.
