Ultimate Retro TV??

[kyo_244]

Right. This is doing my box in tbh. It's nearly pay day and I wanna treat myself to a nice 4:3 retro tv to play all my RGB retro goodness on. But there's so much out there to choose from. LCD, CRT, flat CRT, trinitron (one of my faves) I even remember once seein this massive sony trinitron which had an option in its menu to centre the screen. Handy for some RGB images that are a bit too far left or right.


So what are u guys usin? Just throw em at me!

I've got a panasonic 4:3 CRT, does the job but gets a little overscan in 60Hz RGB mode, my ultimate setup would be something like this:

but then I have a cab really so, but I hate playing neo on my LCD (lack of room currently to setup neo on panasonic, in storage)

I use a Toshiba 28n33b. Gives off a brilliant picture like! but its a reflective screen so i have to close the curtains on sunny days which is my only gripe.

are those new samsung slim fit 20 ince tvs any good? uve seen them in currys for about £150 i

to test a tv for retro I'd have to take my neo into a shop and see the overscan, its so annoying, its the only thing I like about the neogeo on an LCD, its pixel perfect, apart from looking gash. if I could attain this on a 4:3 panasonic I have it'd be orgasmic, I can't really find the service menu though

You mean these? Are they even CRT?

Something like a Hantarex or a Sony PVM RGB screen would probably be the 'best'. A little spendy though.

I use a slowly dying CM8833 MKI. Awesome quality, but a little small I guess.
