Hey Kadano, I have more questions about that Sony GDM-F520 you posted... -Those BNC inputs on the rear, do you simply need BNC-component converters so you can plug in component cables, and then it should be good to go? Or is there more to it than that? -A monitor I saw on Craigslist appears to...

@Kadano how does that first Sony PC monitor you listed perform? I think if I remember correctly PC monitors with those BNC inputs produce a green image? But I'd love to have a monitor that's completely lagless.

So I was fortunate enough to secure a CRT TV made by Toshiba that has 480p Progressive Scan and seems to be pretty good in terms of lag. In all honesty, are PVMs/BVMs worth it? Is the quality better than CRT TVs that can do 480p as well? I just really like the TV I have right now because I...

So... usually I will need to look for a monitor that at least has 800 lines in order for it to have 480p? The drive is about half an hour away... Not exactly close, but not too far either... Aside from the obvious testing, is there any way you can read about the specs that will tell you...

Some guy near me is selling a PVM14M2MDU... I'm not too good at looking for these things online... Can anyone let me know if it'll run this game in 480p?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/ele/5422240257.html Would something like this be good to use for melee? lol.

It's still worth $200 even though it's a CRT? I wouldn't even pay more than $100 for a BVM lol. But man, price isn't really the issue, what's really holding me back is the size. I really don't want a TV that big anymore. The biggest size TV I'd like is 20 inches. 13-17 is ideal for me...

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ptpbG707luH/p_305TXP3275/Samsung-TX-P3275H.html Saw a TV like this on Craigslist, but the guy is asking a ridiculous price. Would this work for 480p? I just ask because I had a samsung that was EDTV before and it still wouldn't run progressive scan.

Well that's misleading then, because the one TV I saw on Craigslist (Not sure if it's the exact same one but looked very similar to it) had component inputs that said "progressive scan" on them.

Assuming it doesn't lag, would you believe that the picture quality would be similar to a PVM/BVM? Or at least close? Anyone have experience with these CRT TVs that have progressive scan? I'm wondering if I should settle for one of these or just cough up the money and get myself a BVM.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F2R5I8/ref So I'm currently looking at a TV just like this on Craigslist. It is a CRT, is "slimmer" and it has component which states can do progressive scan. My question is... how good is progressive scan on here compared to a PVM/BVM? If it's worth it...

So I happened to find a CRT tv that has component inputs with progressive scan. Is it worth it for me to pick it up?

Well, I don't know if I have any, but just in case if my games were, I would at least be ready for it.

Damn, that sucks. So pretty much, if I were to use this CRT setup, I'm limited to only playing games that run in progressive scan. I don't have as much variety as to what I can play compared to the PVM/BVM, which can play lower than 480p, correct? Now I'm starting to feel even more content...

So since CRT PCs display in 480p... does that mean it can't display in 480i or less? I'm wondering in case I want to play other games that don't output 480p. How exactly does an Extron CVC 200 work? I've never seen one until now and I have a basic idea of it, but I'd like the gaps to be...
