Duck Hunt on HDTV?

As Wolf said.
Old Light guns will never work on a conventional HDTV only on CRTs or CRTHDTVs!
If you are purist you should have a big and nice looking CRT anyway because games from the NES to SNES era simply look best on a conventional CRT!
I recommend a Sony Trinitron especially the late models! I warn you though! They are extremly heavy (like 90kg)!

Do they still make CRTHDTVs?

Nope. There were some pretty nice ones though by Samsung as an example. No FullHD though all only HDReady. More was impossible because of the aperture mask. ;D

I can vouch for how awesome the Sony Trinitron is! We have one in our main entertainment center. When I move out after I finish college, I hope to convince my parents to let me have it for my old consoles.

There is flea market in the next town that has a 52 inch CRT HDTV but they $800 for it. I probably wont buy that one.
