    I got a PS2 on component, looks great. Saturn N64 look alright nothing horrible. Dreamcast isnt so great. Atari Jaguar is not that bad. Ive hooked up a NES on it and it looks better than the Panasonic CRT I have. No jailbar lines at all. Im shocked. Its a 32 inch Philips LCD

    Thanks for the info, everyone. The XRGB-mini looks pretty cool and I think I am going to check out that option.

    Ultimately a TV (or XRGB type device) is only as good as the video it receives. If one uses composite, that's what will be displayed.

    For me personally I use my Samsung 67" DLP LED with nothing but composite for all of my systems until PS3/360 and I'm happy with it. Although I will admit that I've never really cared about the look of games, tv, or movies so I may not be the best judge.

    I would just stick with the CRT and get rid of the HDTV if space became an issue.

    Simply for convenience, I often use my bedroom's LCD TV. However, I'm a little nuts, so I have SCART RGB on most systems, into a video upscaler, to the TV over HDMI!
