Rockstar, you play any videogames on that thing? If so, how do they look?

Ummm well i threw the nintendo on there. Doesn't look overly hot. Maybe...maybe not the tv's fault.

Put on the super nintendo, still weak.

Tried the Nintendo 64 to play a lil zelda, but still very disappointing.

Video games from the PC (what lil i play) tv out thru s-video because i'm too cheap to buy 25foot component cables looked not bad at all! It looked a lot better than i thought it would! If i had cables capable of HD, it could look that much better, but i sadly don't regularly play many video games other than Zuma. It's too hard and expensive to keep a computer up to video game playing standards, much easier to spend $5 hundy and get an xbox 360 os PS3 that are probably twice as good as your $1000 computer.

Gave the Playstation 2 a go, now that is hot! When playing racing games that are split screen, it's like you're looking at your own tv. No more squinting try'n to figure out what the hay is going on. Grand theft auto was pretty hot! A lil Tiger Woods 2005 PGA Tour went over well. I can only fathom to think how intense an xbox 360 or PS3 would (and hopefully the PS3 will) look.

All in all money well spent! Clearly wasn't the cheapest of tv's out at it's time (6mo ago or so), but I love it.

Also great for hockey games and what not! Tough to watch an NHL game on this, and then go back to the family room and watch a game on a $1000 31" CRT (2 years old). It really is the love of my life!

^^ Yeah I was more talking about the newer systems. I figured the new ones would look real sharp!

well I got a 20" Panasonic LCD, (it's all i could get due to the lack of credit history)

I'm fairly satisfied. The only thing is, playing some video games like Grand theft auto, it seems to be very dark! I'll screw with the settings some more, and hoepfully I'll get it.
