So what do you guys use to play old games on HDTV's?

But only insane IT guys like me with family members that were engineers try this level of planning. LOL

IT guy here, can confirm.
This is my current setup. I'm actually working on redoing the whole thing as I've invested in HD Retrovision cables. Just waiting on that Dreamcast cable to hit before I tear everything out.
Vypertech:
Damn lol, you guys take this to a whole new level. :) I plan to play anything pre-PS1 era mostly.

What program is that?

Nice; I knew there had to be at least one other person here that went that extra mile, haha.
Vypertech, if you plan to play just pre-PS1 consoles, you will probably be fine with just using your consoles as-is. In most cases (especially if you don't mind not having top-quality visuals) modding is not necessary. Just get whatever the best cables are that you can get ahold of at a price you're comfortable paying, plug 'em into your console and RetroTINK/OSSC, plug the HDMI into your TV and have some fun.
If you have some time to spare to go down the rabbit hole a little bit, check out My Life in Gaming on YouTube. They have a series of videos called the RGB Master Class, which is basically a crash-course on this kind of stuff. They also frequently do spotlights/reviews on mods and stuff like the OSSC and RetroTINK products so that you know what to expect.
