It would look great, but not as good as a non-hd crt.

I feel HDCRTs are more valuable since they're good for both old and new consoles though.

Aren't you also able to use both VGA and light guns on the Dreamcast on them as well?

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

No, lightguns don't work on progressive sets.

VGA definitely though. I'm sure it looks fantastic.

Ah, thought CRT was the kind that lightguns worked with. I was saying that because it would be the bridging model between lightgun compatible ones and HD ones, able to use both.

I could be wrong, but that TV doesn't look HD to me. It looks like it's got a 4:3 ratio.

Ah you are!

HDCRTs are frequently 4:3. They letterbox when viewing HD content.

I owned a... (Samsung was it?) HDCRT that had a great HD picture. Too bad it had some of the most horrific geometry I've ever seen.

Oh god, I've totally let myself get addicted to MOBAs again. Do I quit now, before it's too late? I'm finally starting to play well again...

Jesus, I'm fickle about music these days. Need to do a purge.

Get her to sign something. Not too formal, maybe a napkin. Something so that you can prove to her that she actually said it.
