Believe it or not i'm always thinking on taking my nes and duck hunt when i deside to buy a CRTV to try the tv and the light gun :P
Kriegspire:
HDMI: TV signal
Component: Wii
Scart: Xbox, N64 and SNES. All on one button press away.

I don't need more at the moment, but if and when I grab a PS2, I'll probably disconnect either the SNES or N64 from the modulator.

Contrary to popular belief, being a CRT isn't what is required to play light gun games. Analogue image processing is. So no HD tv will work and many late model tubes that aren't HD won't work either. I have a non-HD, 4:3, 36" Sony (KV-36XBR250) which uses a digital processor and it does not get along with light guns.

I know not all CRT will be light gun capable, But I did a little digging online and in some forum people were saying that the models with FS will work with light gun games, so that is why I picked this model specifically. But, they could be wrong. And I guess I can just bring my NES with my to test it before I buy it to make sure.

HDMI stuff into TV, Component into TV, and for the multiple retro stuff composite connections, I use this

All this goes into my LCD Sony Bravia TV,

Would I like to get an old TV for retro consoles, of course, but it's not a priority right now.

But the ideal for me would be composite for everything retro, but PS2/Xbox/GameCube and above would be component and HDMI

That is basically my set up now, I have a Sony Bravia with all my consoles hooked up by A/V splitter and component. but I am going to be moving soon and will be able to get a better set up, so I kind of want to go all out for the best picture I can.

ebay member specialty-av makes a SCART to YPbPr Component converter that works really well.  Don't know how difficult it would be to track down quality SCART output cables for certain systems though.  Wasn't too hard to find one for my Genesis some months back and I'm really pleased with the results.  Games look great on the little LCD TV I use for them.
