Hey yall,

I asked a similar question in the technology section a while ago but didnt really get an answer that fit my uses.

What are yall using for TVs for your setups? In my case, its very mixed use. I have original ataris, nes/snes, n64/ps1, ps2/Xbox 360. Basically the whole lineage of systems. My issue is the tv.

I was using the POS Insignia (which is also used for my media pc and for dvd watching) but the lag is generally awful for games (unless i reboot it weekly it gets laggier and laggier.) I have every possible "enhancement" turned off on it

This prompted me to move some of my systems to the other room with my CRT, which i much prefer. I have a projection sony tv in the other room that is great too.

My question is, are there any boxes that have improved gaming on modern tvs? It would be kind of nice to be able to use it as its larger which for multi-player is nice. And I dont always want to run the crt.

Im not sure but maybe its called an upscaler?Not sure. I really dont care much about quality, mostly just response time. I guess if the box could make it look exactly like a crt id prefer that anyway, dont really like the look of modern tvs at all. And a lot of inputs would be nice, i have a 4 input rca Switcher right now which works well.

No problem. The S-video with the N64 should look better with the 2x pro but it might not be the best choice for the PS2. A lot of the PS2 library is 480i, which the 2x supports but it uses Bob deinterlacing. The GBScontrol is the best budget option since you can use motion adaptive deinterlacing (it does not support composite or S-video) I have seen some people recommend this pre built version. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804850466089.html
