| Best quality picture for retro games? Old TV or HD tv with converter? |

For me nothing beats a good CRT but I thought of getting a Framemeister especially for the Wii console since it's not really suitable for my SD 4:3 Trinitron CRT, being more the EDTV 480p generation. Then I could play the Wii games on 16:9 on my HDTV without the muddy upscaling. Thing is here in Europe I can get a 30' 16:9 EDTV Trinitron with RGB SCART & component inputs for like $5, where the Framemeister costs 60 times more and wouldn't offer as good results. So the choice is easy, plus I have enough room for 2 CRTs, It's so damn cheap I don't mind having a 100+ pounds extra TV just for one console. |

I use an RGB start to HDMI converter. It works really well. Way cheaper than Framemeister. I forget the name of it. It is in an Adam Koranic youtube video though. |

I use a Sanyo 25" Stereo TV. I would wager that this thing has had more games played on it than 99% of the TVs in the world. I've had it since the early 90's. It has a great picture. |
