Not sure about 480p/i stuff but i can't notice anything. I have bought and returned many far more expensive TVs before i just said "f**k it, I'm buying the cheapest 32 inch i can get". Every single one of the more expensive ones (one was $1100) had some problem or another that i couldn't live with given the price paid. All that said i am still saving up for a plasma :)

I need to find one big stand for both TVs or just get another black one. I really hate that metal stand. I also need a danged Dreamcast!! hehe
Looks like a great functioning setup. That Dynex TV does look nice and a great price! Dreamcast with VGA box would look sweet. Not sure if your LCD will support VGA 640x480 native resolution (some LCDs don't only 800x600 and up), something to check before investing in Dreamcast VGA box and cables. If not, DC still looks good with S-Video.

That kind of information is hard to come by with TVs like this. Guess i'll just have to find out some day hehe.

Prolly not going to update for every few games i get but im bored so...

Some carts to clean and 3 more covers to print but no black ink :(

I hear Goo Gone will take the "PVT" off not sure about that sticker on Chip N Dale. Anyone has any ideas let me know.

i think you would be better just leaving the sticker on C n D. iv have tried plenty of times for scenarios just likes yours and i always just ruin the label.

people are going to say try heating up the sticker with a blow drier. people may have had success with this, but i have never had success with it. it probably wouldn't hurt to try though.

of course it all depends on how long the sticker has been adhered and other factors like that.
if you took a shit, please put it back

I use Liftoff 2 aerosol can, works pretty well. Powerful stuff go slow on labels chance of fade from too much scrubbing, don't use it on brittle plastic such as CD jewel cases, DVD cases are fine. I cleaned kids writing off my N64 carts, price tags off of prima game guides no problem! Great for removing all that tag label sticky glue too.

Goo Gone will work fine on that sticker, try peeling it away gently with your finger nail as much as you can and then take a q-tip dipped in Goo Gone and soak up the remainder of the sticker, wait 10 minutes or so and it should wipe off easily.

Thanks guys. I will try Goo Gone tomorrow. Don't know if i can find Lift Off.

Can't wait till my new 72pin gets here. Was trying to play Kirby and it was blinking like nuts or i would get to like level 3 and it would start blinking :( (yes i clean my games hehe). May as well do the lock out disable and give it a good clean at the same time.

You don't need to clean the Metroid though. I took care of it when I got it. 8)
