If I was gonna do classic consoles on HDTV, I'd just suck it up and buy one. For now I'm running my classic consoles through s-video on a flat screen CRT. As Sarge said, proper s-video can look damn near as good as component on a CRT, depending on the TV itself. (Also depending on if the end user can properly calibrate a CRT TV's settings, but that's a rarity in and of itself.)

Yep. That's the rub.CRTGAMER wrote:Classic consoles on HD LCDs and LEDs look like crap
Agreed 100%. I've tried on multiple HDTVs using various converters and cables. Always looks like crap. Unless, as I said earlier, you've got a Framemeister. Totally different world with that.

So for those that don't know, "sharpness" is something left over from the old CRT days. It doesn't operate like it did then. It applies a sort of filter to the image on newer HDTV sets. Samsung sets it to 50 for Game Mode. This produces an effect not unlike an Eagle filter, and also adds a sort of halo effect around stuff. It ain't pretty. After some experimentation, I came to the conclusion that 15-20 was around the right setting, and some information I saw somewhere confirms this. Things look so much better. In fact, I'd say the 720p is clearer than my actual native 720p set... which is probably a function of that set not actually being a true 720p, but 1366x768. Lag times look super good, too, around 26ms.

Well, to be honest the PS2 came out the best. I do have a 32inch sony crt tv next to it, which I switch back and forth between. Yes the classic console definitely looks a lot better on the crt, but sometime i just want play on a bigger screen.
Tokyo extreme racer on ps2 on 4k is just relaxing to play at night.
