LCD EDTV w/ VGA & Component Inputs? Does one exist?

Post by **ImportBoy** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 7:53 am

My current HDTV leaves a bit to be desired when playing older systems. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew of a small standard definition LCD EDTV (which can do 480p) that supports both VGA and component inputs?

Most LCDTV use panels that are 800x600. So it will still look terrible. I've NEVER seen LCD panels display anything below 800x600 native that looked anything other than utter crap.

If you can find one then more power to you, bu i've never seen one, ever.

So long as you put some money toward your tv, any current model will do just fine. Models from Panasonic, Samsung and Toshiba 32inches and smaller will look great with a 480p feed, mostly because they use the same hardware of larger tvs and do a great job with lower resolution feeds. I have a panasonic tc-26lx70 with my older consoles hooked up via svideo and it looks fantastic. additionally, i have my ps2 hooked up via component and games with progressive scan like SotC look great.

Hehe I guess my HDTV (720p/1080i 32 Olevia) just sucks at some things.

I have everything hooked up to the best video output possible I think. PS3 on HDMI. PS2 and Gamecube on component cables. Dreamcast on VGA. SNES, Nintendo 64, Saturn, and PC-FX (yes a PC-FX) on s-video. Megadrive/CD/32x only thing composite at the moment, hopefully joined by a NeoGeo CD in the future.

By the way it normal for the Dreamcast VGA box to have these odd line things going down the screen? I get them on both this TV and my LCD monitors I've tried it on.
