YES!! :D I too rocked a 13" Mitsubishi, 1970s actually, wood paneling and all, that looked so much better than my friends' 15 year newer Magnavox or RCA. It was then at about 8~9 years old that I learned not all TVs are the same. :wink:

I use a 33'' Sony Trinitron. It's the best set I've ever used for classic gaming.

I really just have one TV that things are hooked up to, a Samsung S4243 42" ED Plasma.

Flickering sprite shadows from older consoles can sometimes look a bit janky, but the fact that it is ED not HD actually works really well most of the time.
