Hey guys, Im looking for an older retro type television to play my older systems on. Problem is finding these older box type televisions is a bit tricky now. Im looking for something along the lines of this 32 inch Sony tv. Problem with eBay is that theyre all only local pickup (none of which are near me). Any idea where I could go to find something like this?

I enjoyed playing my NES, SNES, and Genesis on these TVs more than any flatscreen Ive bought in the past ten years. My game room is split in half by current consoles and the other side is the retro side. Id highly prefer having one of these for the retro side

I understood that, I just don't see the point of playing older systems on an old heavy as hell tv. I do read well, just don't understand why that would be a superior way to play retro consoles. I appreciate the actual explanation in your second attempt at conversation though.

Good luck finding an old tv. I'm sure there are plenty of them tucked away in old people's basements. I know my parents have at least one.

Older consoles actually do look better on CRT's than new TV's, because that's what they were designed for.

I think your best bet is pawn shops in your area.

The only info I got from your first post was that an older tv would be heavy which isnt a factor in my decision. Older systems were build to be played on older televisions, theres usually lag issues when playing these systems on flatscreens.

I currently have a tiny tiny cubed tv, but it plays NES games like a charm.
