He doesnt need a better TV...I love good old round screen TV's....especially for nostalgic gaming. That's why in one room I have my 27" old TV and in another, a 64" 1080i HDTV. Well...at least til I goto college. Then I'll just have a computer screen...and I'll only be ale to bring like 1 or 2 systems....I'm not liking the osund of college anymore...<.<

Whatever, he's got an Xbox and a PS2 there. They'd benefit from a flat-screen with s-video. Having a better TV surely doesn't detract from an NES experience, but it may not add to it either. As long as it's still a 480i display, it's not having any negative effect on classic gaming.

Spaced the speakers as far apart as possible. The pain with new TV's is that I live in spain and getting a decent CRT is still expensive

I would love a hi def CRT with like 640 480 display for some VGA DC action. Anyway the problem with me getting a video card with tv output is that I have onboard and no slot for a video card, also if I were to get a nice card as soon as I update I would need to be concerned with TV output still whereas if I had an adapter it would always be there.

Samsung SlimFit CRTs FTW!

Do those still work just as well as regular CRTs for retro gaming? Lightguns still work?

Lightguns do not work with any HDTV be it CRT LCD Plasma etc... the refresh rates are too high for lightguns to recognize the screen which just sucks.
