Not denying that the hospitality displays are sweet, but you can't even buy them. HOSPITALity displays are for HOSPITALS. Find another NTSC television that supports analog RGB at 15khz, and ill be a happy man.
ha ha ha ha!! Are you serious? Just because "Hospital" is in the word "Hospitality"? They're used as point of sale monitors. The 'hospitality' industry? Hotels, cruises, etc? The difference between a 'tv' and a 'monitor' at this point in time is just the inclusion of a tuner. A lot of those monitors have consumer versions as a television.

But another one. And just one? That's it?

Panasonic TH-42PX500U


Also
HITACHI 37LD8800TA LCD TV
Analog RGB Signal VGA-UXGA (15kHz, 30 to 106kHz, 50Hz to 85Hz)
HITACHI 55PD8800
Maxent MX-42VM10
JVC GD-V502U (There's a TV and a Monitor version for when you google the part number.)
Sony PlasmaPro FWD-42PX2/B 42 (There's a TV and a Monitor version)

All of them support NTSC, all of them list 15khz. Big ones, small ones, LCDs, Plasmas. And I didn't even bother looking that long.

Well fuck me I guess. Those are all expensive as hell though, and not all support RGB. VGA isn't the same thing. Either way, I know when I'm beaten. Thought hospitality meant they were for medical use. Good times.
Want:
Twin Famicom
Sega CD Games

if you want component video out of a saturn you'd have to buy a rgb to component encoder like a jrok

Going back to what the OP said, the best video connection for all systems. I always wanted a whole thread dedicated to how other people connect their systems and their opinions on how to recieve the best picture on each one.

I use a 32 inch Sony Bravia(720p, 60Mhz) for my gaming(and pretty much everything else)
Personally I use S-video for my retro duo 2.0 which makes the snes games look AMAZING but the nes games still look like crap and checkered.
Saturn: S-Video... well its better than AV but still checkered.
My N64: S-video but the image is still fuzzy and almost foggy.
My OG snes: S-Video which looks decent but the Retro Duo 2.0 looks better.
Neo Geo: AV... no other option(dont know anything about modding). Looks decent enough.
Dreamcast: VGA. Looks great. I think the best option(which is a widly known fact)
PS2: Component Cable.. on some games(like God of War) it gives u the option of progresive scan whic is GREAT but asside from those, it looks decent but WAAY better the composite connection.
Xbox 360.. HDMI..no explanation needed.

I'm still thinking of ways to make the images on some of these even better and I been combing through youtube to find a way and I think I've figured it out but wont reveal until I try(or if someone here schools my dumbass)
