    Anyone got a Panasonic TX25CK1 or Philips 25PT4457 TV?

    I'm looking for a 25" retro gaming telly and i'm considering this. If by any chance someone here has one, i've got a few questions....

    1) What's the picture like?
    2) Does it support NTSC 3.58?
    and 3) Are there horizontal and vertical picture positioning options?

    Cheers

    EDIT: Also considering the Philips if anyone has that.

    We use the 20" models in game on, but I have used the 25" model too.

    The picture quality is very good, not excellent but for the money it's good. However PAL Gamecubes (and there does seem to be a slight different between the Gamecubes themselves as some are better then others) output a faily bad PAL composite signal, on Monkeyball the picture can be too muddy and blurred... :/

    It has good RGB support, and does support PAL-60 and NTSC 3.58 (it adjusts automatically) but doesn't support S-Video at all, it's stereo with front speakers so the sound sounds clearer.

    However I can't find adjustments via the remote, although there are guides to adjust these TVs on the net they see to be for NTSC TVs....

      Yeah, I dug up the instruction manual in pdf and it doesn't seem to have the option. I don't think many will actually. It's mainly WS's that have this option but it's bloody useful for Neo Geo. Check your pm btw MD

      The other TV I was considering was this so If anyone has one i'd appreciate some feedback. (Adjusted the title accordingly)
      Or if anyone can recommend me a good 25" 4:3 CRT, please do.

        I've got the Philips 21PT4456 (previous edition of the 21" cousin of the Philips you're thinking of), and it's a fine TV. Crisp picture, true blacks, nice colours and it takes NTSC 3.58 with no problemos. Unless they've gone backwards with the successor models, I'd heartily recommend it.
