Nice TV! Yes a lightgun will work.
Its a non HD. Even though you have component input it is 480i only.

Thanks, would having the edge enhancement on screw up the light-gun at all? Also how would I hook up a Xbox 360's component if I have to set the switch on the connector to HD when the tv does not support HD? Plus to think I got the TV for free because the person had bought a LCD and thought this TV was old and worthless.

Like I said before edge enhancement, velocity scan modulation, all of this will not help the accuracy of a light gun. Additionally this specially processing is of suspect value for most material. Maybe analog cable signals, but thats about it.

You killed us on the pages of audio questions at your Laser Disc Thread. Why not simply try it before posting another round of questions?

Funny, found this post when I was searching for a model of CRT that is compatible with Lightgun Games... found I forgot to answer someone's question. :lol:

model that doesn't work is the Panasonic CT-32HX42 32" Television - it is a totally flat tube. There are no comb filtering options to turn off, so it will forever not work with Lightgun games. BEAUTIFUL picture though for a standard definition television.
