I guess I will pickup the bottom one tonight for $35 unless people know of a known issue with it.
If you're going to be playing 240p retro games then yes, stay away.So you should defiantly stay away from the HD tubes? There are a ton of them up on CL now. Sony XBR's, 32" 4:3 and 34" 16:9
I think some of the PS2 Slims had issues with when connected through component cables. The picture slowly turns green. Powering the system off and then on will fix the problem, but it will happen again. I'm not sure which model numbers are affected and I have no idea if Sony fixed the problem in later runs.
So guys...
I unfortunately don't own my old Super Famicom anymore, but I have quite a few SNES games on the Virtual Console. If I hooked up my Wii via RGB to a decent CRT, would the image be close enough?
Just want that retro feel spot-on. There's a great 4:3 Sony Triniton available for free nearby if I wanted to go this route.
Is there a big difference between these two tvs? I am seeing a ton of the older model (top picture)
Would you just get the top one if it is a lot easier to find?
I used to leave it off and just manually adjusted the sharpness.
That's a common issue with the SNES.Good call. I turned it off. Played with the settings a little bit. Things are looking great.
Oddly enough I still have a faint vertical bar in the center of the image sometimes during dark scenes. Might be just be I need a clean power surge protector.

That feature actually makes dark lines on the screen thicker than intended, so I suggest leaving it off.For people with Sony Wegas, specifically the FS120 models, do you use, "Clear Edge VM?"
With it turned on the image looks much sharper.
Don't waste your time. This is an inherent problem with all known models of SNES. Certain games, such as Super Metroid, will show it very clearly.Good call. I turned it off. Played with the settings a little bit. Things are looking great.

The FV27 is older than the FS100 by at least three years, if that matters to you. It may have significantly more use. Someone could have purchased the FS100 as late as 2006.On craigslist I have a few good deals located near me. I'm trying to decide between the FV27 and FS100, both 32". Anyone have any input on this?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'm gonna go with the FV27 since it has the 3d digital comb filter. The guy selling it has both the remote and wireless headphones (!) for $25. I'm gonna go check it out....whatever the fuck that means
In other words, given that video games are pretty much always moving and the video input is relatively clear compared to the source this is intended to benefit (RF broadcast), you would probably never notice the difference.
I have the choice between a KV-32HF120 or a KV-32HS500. Which one should I grab? I know the HS is HD. Both are at the same price ($35).

This is my tv of choice for classic gaming. Badass tv!!
Hmmm...that's not entirely true.You aren't just seeing things. It's widely accepted that CRTs are superior in image quality over current technology. CRT is inferior in some practical aspects, mainly the maximum screen size, but not in image quality.
I agree with you about overhead lights. I never use mine while using the TV. I suggest a halogen floor lamp in the corner of the room; the kind that shines on the ceiling.
Sound quality on that is great, shame about it only having composite inputs. Still looks very good.
Well, dot crawl isn't usually an issue with 240p content but 480i is another story.You know, at the size its at combined with the comb filter, you don't really suffer from dot crawl. Its a soft, but clean image.

Not completely true. Dot crawl increases with higher frequency imagery. It can definitely be noticeable in 240p but a good comb filter can really clean up the image. With 480i, it's much more difficult to eliminate on even the best televisions.Its prevalent/apparent at any resolution so long as you use a composite connection. Its just a side effect of luminance and chrominance crosstalk (thanks to having all components runs through a single connection).
Not true. Proper 240p output requires a standard definition display. Older game systems typically used this type of output.Well that would mean a progressive image which means no composite....which doesn't have anything to do with that Gamer GX TV posted above (its composite only).
