Le Stu Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I suppose this is a question based on a hypothetical future scenario when I'm not completely broke, but:What local electronics store could sell me a 4:3 aspect ratio tube box that can handle PAL/NTSC, possibly even 480p (which would need component inputs as far as I can tell,) and the usual RF/SCART/composite inputs?I've got a US Model 2 Saturn and a US slimline PS2, and a TV someone seems to have placed a large speaker on at some point, resulting in some serious colour distortion. TRIPPY! Not very fun...I have scoped out the Goodmans things Comet are flogging, but they look crap, so any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm not sure if i understand the question, but if you're just looking for a crt tv, you'll find hundreds of reasonably sized ones for fuck all on scotads or anything like that.

Plus, shops deliver!Old consoles can tend to look like shite on lukadehtehvs, which is why I'm looking for the kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a fairly decent 28" CRT for around 89 + 10 delivery and we will know the answers to your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Cheers, I'll pop along when I'm feeling a wee bit richer We have smaller sets for cheaper prices too. I will point out that the 28" is a widescreen as i noticed that you were specifically looking for a 4:3 set.Give me a list of the spec that you are looking for and i'll have a look for something for you tomorrow and let you know what we've got. It'll give me something to do over my 11hr shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll give me something to do over my 11hr shift I currently have 37p but should you get bored on your shift:Somewhere between a 21" and 28" (depends how big the back is) that ideally has a flatscreen, at least one RGB capable SCART (for colour NTSC.) If you have one that does (480p) progressive scan and component input then that would be bloody amazing, but I don't know if non-HDTVs do that. Freeview is nice.Maybe I should bump this in times of money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I guess you could run it through a DVD recorder that has progressive scan and component input... but that said I thought that progressive scan only worked with LCDs and plasmas anyway, maybe not.
