Current Events > good tv for older game consoles?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i have a nice 4k tv for the new systems. but looking for something for my room for more retro stuff. i've hooked up the old systems to my tv with a converter but nes is unplayable. snes mostly as well. 64 is when it looks decent enough...although 64 was ugly in the first place.

i do have a 13 inch tube tv with an rf hookups for nes if i wanna use the light gun.

so looking for like a 50~ inch tv for my room. still gonna use it for netflix and stuff but would like to play snes at least and have it look good. so would a 1080p tv be a better option?

i would like to get a 27-32 inch tube tv eventually when i get a bigger place and could have it in a gaming room. so would like recommendations on where to find one. i was planning to look around yard sales and see if i can get a working one for cheap.

Sony PVM's and Wega's but prepare to pay outta the ass for one

yea i see a lot of them going for like $300+ online. that's a lot to pay for something i won't really use much. just when i want to play some retro games. but guess i could get lucky and find one at a garage sale for cheap.

Some thrift stores still have them, those big booty BBW TVs. My back hurts thinking about how heavy those things were.

that's pretty similar to the tv a friend gave me. thing weighed like 200 pounds. got it home and tried it and the picture didn't work. he had it sitting in his garage for like 5+ years and probably got water damaged or something. so nearly threw my back out getting that home for nothing. definitely not looking forward to having to move one but the quality is hard to pass up.

so no opinions on if a 1080p tv would be better option for my room? something to still game on but 99% of my gaming would be in my living room. room would be probably snes-ps2. the other thing is i never seen a 4k tv with av/component cables. even most 1080p tvs seem like they only have 2-3 hdmi ports and nothing else. at least new ones from stores. i might have to look around for used ones for that as well.
