So I have one of these Sony WEGA rear projection LCD’s. It was very well taken care of, 1 owner, moved carefully. Tons of inputs. I have a DVD player on it going S video right now and it looks darn good to me, not washed out or anything.
I haven’t tested it yet, but do these suck for consoles? My main annoyance is lag on TV’s (why I can’t stand modern flatscreens). If it doesn’t have the best quality but has no lag, that’d be fine with me. I think I am seeing people confusing these with other types of projection TV’s and saying they have awful picture, but this doesn’t. It actually does say its “HD” (I think it does 480i and 720p? not sure on those, I haven’t got behind it to get the model # off yet.)
I have other CRT’s but they are 25" or below, it’d be nice to have a big one for split screen.
I will take a guess that you won’t have any image lag issues whatsoever.
Pretty much all displays have imperceptible lag on actually displaying an image- a lot of consumer flat screen TV’s are terrible at it because of their controller being shite or intentionally lagging the image to do frame interpolation or some other kind of background processing. Older analog screens don’t do any of that, they get signal, display signal.
