Current Audio/Video & System Weapon of Choice

[Ratix]

I love that you are using that TV and the antenna terminals. I remember thinking that I had to "carefully" screw everything together to ensure "maximum contact" and get the best signal.

I thought the same thing to. then i found a coaxial to rca and use those for my systems now. ditched those rf switches all together.

I use a early 90's Sony Trinitron CRT with my S-Video modded PCE Duo.  I try to use S-Video for all of my systems where possible.  I am particularly well pleased with my super tricked out heavily modded Model 1 Sega Genesis (I think it has pretty much every mod on that thing)

Ironically I think only my AES is only hooked up with composite lol.

Looks like I'm separate from the pack, I use a Sony 52" HDTV.  All my systems are component video modded except for the NES and master system. With the component video mod, no up-scaler needed.

I've got the TurboDuo and Duo-RX hooked up to a mid-90s 32" Sony TV in the bedroom and the PC-FX, PSP Go, and LA hooked up to a 46" Sony LCD in the living room; I'd rather have the LA and PC-FX hooked up to the tube, but it's short on inputs and there's no place to park 'em anyway.  Both TVs are also connected to mid-90s Pioneer receivers, but those are rarely ever used (damn apartment living).

This thread inspired me to get another backup!

For $6.88 (tax included) I picked up a 20" JVC with 1 component, 1 s-video and 2 composite inputs from the Salvation Army. I went to one of their nicer area stores so most of the TVs were in nice cosmetic shape. They have a few nice sets that tempted me so if this one doesn't work out(as is), the next one may.

The only annoying part is it wasn't raining where I bought it and it's raining pretty steady where I live

Sony KV-32HS420.  I like it because it has an HDMI and 2x Component inputs (if i ever finish my component mods).  The HDMI is for the NEO GEO X (which looks fine thru the HDMI.  the composite is shit).

Price = $30 + $7 in beer cost labor (it weighs 176 lbs according to wikipedia)

I have  27" Philips crt with component inputs that I bought new to use with my PlayStation 2. Final fantasy X looked beautiful at the time. Now I'm using it for Rgb to component with my DuoR SNES and Genesis. I'm seriously considering an xrgb mini though.

My TurboDuo project is coming along, just today I ordered a complete cap kit for the motherboard.  I have great hopes for the CD door and laser assembly too (PCEFX members are trying to help me out).  I would love to post a picture of this rescued Duo playing Ys I & II on my TV should things go well.

Best of luck with that!  The folks here are insanely educated on all things Turbo so if anyone can help you, its these fine folks.

Lol, awesome stuff!  You guys and your CRTs are making me long for my three babies in storage.  They better work when I finally have my house or I'm going to be super pissed off!

snes, md and pc engines does not out component video natively, have you modified or used rgb then via a rgb to component video converter or composite to component video?

I'm glad you asked:). I installed a rgb to component converter board.  Please see here for more info.

That's pretty awesome.  I've always been scared to get my systems modded like that.  It's why I went the upscaler route.  That and I've got some nice CRTs in storage.

I live in RGB heaven. I switch between my 20" PVM, 11" PVM and 29" NEC XM RGB monitor depending on where I'm at in my house

[Keith Courage]

I switch back and forth from S-video on a sony CRT 36" Trinitron to S-video on a 27" Sanyo CRT of some sort.

I dislike new TVs because I hate seeing black on each side of the screen and stretching out the picture. So neither option will do.

My home-office is where I do most of my old-school gaming.  There I have a late 90's JVC tube TV (which I bought new and am surprised I still have after all these years) and Philips boom-box for audio.  All of my consoles are composite, run through 2 daisy-chained 4-button a/v selectors: US Duo, NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. Also I have a DVD recorder hooked up so I can record my gameplay when I feel like it.

The living room home theater has a 47" LCD, Onkyo receiver, Bic F-12 sub, Polk speakers all around, and: Xbox 360 (w/ HD-DVD player), PS2, SNES, Gamecube (w/ GBA adapter) and Turbografx-16 w/ CD attachment.

Those are the systems I have most commonly set up, though every once in awhile I'll dig out some of my lesser-played consoles.
