peedenmark7 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys... Well as the new 5200 HSC season looms, I am readying my new gaming room . I've decided rather than continue bothering my wife as I sit in the living room hooting and hollering while playing , I am going to set up a gaming room, where I can hook up multiple systems at once while obtaining some much needed game box, etc storage to free up a spare bedroom closet which I have monopolized the past 3 years. I have an entertainment center picked out on CL and am adding some Tv's. First let me say that I am a Panasonic CRT guy...Always have and likely always will provided they are still available and can be fixed. I don't care for the new LED's refresh rates and cant use them for gaming anyway, so I have many Crts about the house that work just fine for my tv viewing. That said, The wonderful 27" Panasonic CT27SFT that I bought new in '94 gave up the ghost recently after its third repair, So I've been snapping up 32's of the same model for simple watching. I picked up a Sony KV32HV600 a few weeks back for $25 that has the built in sub and true surround which I think will be great for gaming with all of the inputs etc. The black tube technology is not as good as my Panasonics , but $25 is $25 ! . My question is, I found a Sony KV-36XBR250 for free and am going to get that today , but am wondering how this TV will work for the old Atari games ? I know it will work fine with Playstation and SNES, but am worried that the resolution might be to high for the old stuff.. Other than HDMI input does anybody know the tangible difference between the 2 Sony models I am asking about ? Any thoughts ?

Saneless Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 They're both CRTs so the resolution will be fine. They don't have a "native" resolution. You get into problems with LCD TVs because they DO have a native resolution. And they're also usually huge. Even the 36 incher will probably have 3x the pixel density (for retro games) than the newer TVs. To be honest your main concern will be weight. Those TVs have their own moons.
