Default What TV do you use to get your game on?

Again, this is another thread by moi just to get a feel of what the GT gang is like by their use of electronic devices.

So what kind of tube do you glue yourself to when you run through Halo or Metroid Prime? What kinda rig do you have specifically for playing GTA?

I suppose I'll start things off:

I have a 30" LCD RCA in my room for two older consoles in there (SNES, 3DO). The unwritten rule for women playing my SNES is that once they enter my room, they can't leave.

I have a 52" RCA rear projection DLP (or bigger, not really sure unless I dig up the manual) that I use for playing my GCN, Xbox, DC, and PS2. I use component cables for GCN and Xbox, and therefore, have to switch one of them out whenever I wanna play one or the other, which sucks.

So, what do you guys have?

I have a 24 inch Sony Wega Trinton TV in my room. The TV itself isn't flat, but the screen is. It's great.

Damn you for trying to hide thousands of dollars worth of equipment brought together to create the ultimate video game set-up behind an official Disney's Aladdin soundtrack compact disc!

Just a 33" inch Sharp screen with universal S-video cables. I swear, I'd go crazy without S-video.



I didn't realize how much my setup's changed since then. Hahah. This picture's about as old as the Donkey Konga.

Anyways, I have a little 13" I used to play PSO a lot on, very late in to the night in my room. I also have a really nice toshiba 55" DLP + sound system upstairs I like to steal when my parents aren't using it. I also have a 19" Sony off to the side of that picture that I play older systems on - because I don't feel like setting everything up on one TV. As well, I have a commodore screen as backup.

When I move out I'll probably get something way better.

I play on a sexy (or not) Toshiba 20" flat screen deal...


Notice the rabbit ears? Hardcore...
And I rock the N64 pokemon controller... Can you say the same for yourself?

The TV's sound quality sucks, so I route all my console's audio needs to that sexy old CD player there... Minus the top-loading NES, which has no A/V ports, and the master system who's A/V cable cannot split enough to reach both the TV and CD player...

I own no S-video cables, though I had planned on buying some at one point in time...

True story...
