Guys, basically im looking for a TV that can handle RGB, ntsc and 60hz. And one with a decent picture too. Any recommendations? Preferrably bigger than 21"

CRT I presume? There's an excellent Toshiba (I used to have but I forget the model number). Don't know how much you want to spend, mine is about ?600+ still as its a 36" one. -
I think pretty much any new TV nowadays will take RBG and do NTSC and 60hz. As far as I'm aware all TV's use the same tubes, so look pretty similar, except for Sony and Panasonic, which use superior ones. I could have been mislead there though, I'm sure someone else can confirm or deny...Comment

Think it basically depends on what you want to spend but Empire direct have this JVC set up at the moment for just under ?500...

It's 32" CRT
Has 3 Scarts (2 RGB)
1 Component input (Progressive Enabled)
NTSC playbac @ 3.58 & 4.43
Digital Freeview tuner
If you want cheaper then the following Sanyo for ?340 might be an idea...

32"
2 Scart (Both RGB)
NTSC
Or even Cheaper this other Sanyo at ?230...
http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/conten...SAN-28FWN6.htm
28"
2 Scart (both RGB)
NTSC
The JVC is easily the best bet but might strecth you budget a bit too much (But bear in mind if it's like my JVC set then its HD Compatible via component @ 1080i
) apart from that there isnt much about I'm afraid as everyone shifts over to LCD & Plasma.
HTH though.

Or there's Samsung's HD ready CRT. It's got a few problems, but not bad for around ?400Comment

That Progrressive CRT is interesting... does it just take the Progressive input interlace it? Seems pointless if it does.
Does it accept 480p/60 or only 576p/50?Comment

Erm not too sure TBH.Originally posted by Shakey_Jake33
That's not the same model as my one but when I get home later (I'm at the parents) I'll have a look & see what my one accepts & let you know, if we're lucky they'll do the same lol

Edit: Just saw a thread about the JVC over on AVforums & I think it may only do 576P via component, but it does sound like its 1080i Compatible via the component like my one.

Sorry I should of clarified before.. I'm looking for a standard 4:3 TV not a widescreen. Its mainly to play DC, PS2 and my retro consoles full screen. And I'm looking to spend under 100 hopefully. I dont mind if its second-hand as long as it does the job (really decent rgb output). I've noticed that some tvs display the image a bit distorted with the picture not properly centered. (too much to the left, right or top)
I remember a mate of mine once had a huge Trinitron Sony TV (again a standard 4:3) and the picture on it looked amazing! We were playind DC through rgb.Comment
