    You people and your fancy TVs....all I'm rocking for a TV is my little 10" Toshiba CRT on my desk, which is next to my compy monitors lol.

    For all my retro consoles I use a 28" Sony Trinitron CRT TV. It has 2 SCART inputs so have a couple of multi SCART adaptors so all my consoles are connected with this.

    I don't have room CRT now so i use my 43 inch 3D Samsung plasma, it does a surprisingly good job once i fiddled with the settings for a bit. I wish i had room for a CRT because House of the Dead and Time Crisis are two of my favourite games of all time, i own them but cannot play them which sucks.

    My retro TV is a 27" Samsung TXN2726 which I picked up relatively recently from a thrift for $10.

    For inputs:
    -2 composite
    -1 Svideo
    -1 Component

    Plus side headphone jack and digital comb filter.

    Everything looks great on it, the only knock it's that it's not a flat tube TV, so there's a bit of bending on the edges.

    Some pretty nice setups here. I think I might just try and find a powered switch or something to get my receiver to know it's getting a video signal. I don't think I want to spend the money on an external up-converter, the denon is pretty good with it, and anything more would probably be pretty stupidly expensive.

    I have a 32 inch sharp TV of 2001, maybe 2003 vintage I bought for $75 from a coast guard officer heading to washington state. I have a 32 inch sharp HDTV I won in 2008 in the bedroom that I barely use. Newest consle I have is an Xbox and it hasn't been hooked in in years.
    The smell of scorched oil hangs in the air as a premonition of danger, while the engine gloriously shouts its war cry...

    Throughout history, suspicion has always bred conflict. The real conflict, though, resides in people's hearts. This conflict has just begun.

    How exactly does one go about winning TVs in the bedroom?
