So I just got a free CRT TV set from a friend of mine. It's nearly identical to my current retro gaming CRT. Same brand and overall design, except the color is silver, has integrated ATSC tuner and component video input.
Yeah... component on an old CRT set. I tested it, and it looks amazing, even more so than a flat panel as the signal isn't scaled. It probably can't support 480p, but the picture is still amazing regardless.
I'm in the middle of deciding whether or not to swap out my current retro gaming set with the silver one. On one hand, the component input would do wonders with Lars and Elsie (PS2 and Wii). I never seen Animal Crossing City Folk look so good.
Though flat panels are the future of TV, I still have a soft spot for heavy bulky CRTs.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
