Question for MAMErs with large CRT televisions as their display

I think the question would be what are you using to drive the TV?  Composite can be pretty greesy.  S-Video can be a fair bit better, but if you can, will the TV let you do component?  Component gets you some damn nice 480i video. :)

It depends on the video card I can find.  I don't want to spend too much on it, but my TV is capable of component, composite, and S-video, so I'm shooting for a card capable of component out.

Yeah, don't even THINK about anything other than Component if your TV supports it.  Component is the closest you can get to an actual arcade CRT due to the distinct color signal separation that Component is able to provide.  Everything else is just icky in comparison.

I built everything around this TV.

Isn't that TV too low? I would think that you're looking at it from an awkward angle like that.

I have a MDF monitor shelf supported by two 2x4 braces underneath.
