That WEGA sure would make a great dedicated TATE television for your SEGA Saturn :wink:
Also, if any PSN titles support TATE then it that might make it even more worth it.

Alternatively you could put it up for free on Craigslist and hope it goes to a good home and doesn't just get recycled/harvested for gold :?

We'll always have other monitors at that point, NEC makes a few cool ones with a crazy amount of connection options

Really, I'm intrigued by such a crt monitor. I hope they are still made and easy to purchase in the future.

It would be great to have a widescreen CRT computer monitor with s-video, dvi, and hdmi but that's a bit of a pipe dream isn't it? :lol:

I don't know, I guess I'll keep it.

What inputs does it have?

If you really don't want it, I might be interested in taking it off your hands. I've got a few consoles hooked up via rgb-> component, but they're currently connected to a rear projection tv. It looks great, but I certainly wouldn't mind having a crt with some connections I can actually use. (The only old crt I have is a cheapy with one working composite input. It doesn't get used anymore).

It might clean up my gaming area a little bit too. Talk about a clusterfuck of cords. :lol:
