Quoted from radium:

Hmm... I've got a 32" Sony CRT sitting in my garage to be thrown out. Never thought of using it for old gaming.
Then again... the thing is sooooo damn heavy.

I still use my Sony 36" vega xbr400 for retro consoles like the Dreamcast and use the component inputs for the SNES and RGB modded N64. Not many pixels due to the up scaling. This set weights in at 240 lbs. the 40" was 325 lbs or equal to 1 Twilight Zone pinball. You should drag that 32" back into the house! I just got a Sony 27" CRT Trinatron with s video and component inputs for free on CL Anchorage as a back up for when this beast finally dies.

Quoted from Crash:

People are giving this old stuff away and gamers have kind of built their own retro "shrine" around them complete with surround system, multiple consoles, and switch boxes. To me there is no comparison between using an old TV and a new flatscreen.

Yep, my wife thinks my retro "shrine" is ridiculous until it is time for her to play Mario Kart 64 and battle it out with me on Dr. Mario. I hope the analogue nt ends up looking nice on my Panisonic ZT60 plasma...fingers crossed. Oh and if you have a multicade...nothing available brand new on the mkt IMO beats the 27" Makvision CRT arcade monitor.

I moved the Toshiba 20" next to the Sony 36" so I can have nice pixels and scan lines for the NES games. Plus this smaller CRT tv does not have any upscaling so the gun games work.

Some fun reproduction games I picked up for the NES and SNES with dip switches to change the game time if you don't want 6 min 21 sec. And two player Tetris using the Game Genie code to play the unfinished version.
