Is it safe? Hooking up a Sega Saturn console to a LCD 1080p.

[gamingmatrix]

I just bought a Sega Saturn console off of eBay. I have a SAMSUNG LCD 1080p HDTV television. Is it safe to connect a Sega Saturn console to this TV or would I risk damaging the it?

If it is okay to connect it to that TV, what are the best capables to use to get the best image quality possible from a Sega Saturn console?

Thanks.

I've never heard of a TV being damaged just because an old console was hooked up to it.
I use the cables available from Racket's store. The picture looks pretty good.

Well if it was a plasma you could have worry of burn in, but even with that it would be a trial.

Yeah you could burn in if you left a game on the title screen for about.....2 years......constantly......there's really no risk involved here.

Most HDTV's have screen savers to prevent burn-in as well.

EDIT: I guess I shouldn't have said "screen saver," they just show "No Signal" appearing from one side of the screen to the other (similar to the WinXP screen saver).

Funny thing- as I was reading the manual for my LCD TV, it warned me not to leave an image on the screen, for it may BURN IN. I thought I bought an LCD so that it wouldn't burn in. Of course, this manual is not the greatest technical masterpiece in the world.

Its fine to hook it up mine looks good with S-video.

I was amazed when I went to play NiGHTS again and realized it had a widescreen mode. In 1996?! Although I've yet to try it out on my hdtv, I need to get to that.
