I've always wanted to run my consoles in RGB but I've never found a good monitor to use. To anyone that does run RGB, do you have an RGB monitor or just go scart to component? I'm talking about North America here by the way, cause all you lucky Europeans get scart on everything! (I think) |

That might be a little small for most folks (I really don't have room for much bigger right now and was able to get this TV for only $20 - still in the box and appears to have not been used much at all). I'd recommend a similar type of setup to anyone looking to improve their picture quality on vintage consoles. It is a very noticeable upgrade from standard RF or RCA connections with my Genesis and the NES I tested on it. Can't speak to any other consoles though. Those are the only two I had to try out. |
