I currently use a 22" LCD monitor for my DC but I'm looking to buy an LCD TV for the sole purpose of DC gaming (well, and a few other consoles as well, but 95% DC).

So I'm wondering what you all use to play DC on, how it is all connected (RF, SCART, Composite, VGA, ...) to each other, and how well it works in your own opinion (I've heard horror stories of lag, deformed picture, etc...).

So I basically need brands & types, fire away gents :P

I have this old T.V. that's been knocking around the house for years now. I've become quite attached to it, the teletext is really fast and I used to use it for some cracking 8-player system link Halo games back in the day along with the set it unsurped.

It's not too big, average living room size CRT with a nice slick black casing, and I was going to get rid of it but when I told the rental service I was using I didnt want it anymore they couldn't even be arsed to come and pick it up so sold it me for a tenner. Bargain. I could have got a better set years ago but I can't bear to part with this one now.

Oh, and the make is beko, using a scart to connect it to the DC.

I usualy have it hooked up to my 21" sony trinitron by SCART but currently due to lack of space my dreamcast is sitting in box along with my N64.

32" LCD LG TV Full 1080p for the PS3...
...and sometimes the DC. But for that I use an old CRT that I have too. XD

I use my 32in HDTV (Which oddly had a black square at the top... I think a rubber square inside it has fallen in front of the pixels or something). I really need a good old CRT for the older stuff mind.

I've got a 37" 1080HD telly that I've got my DC connected to via SCART. It doesn't actually look all that bad, although in all seriousness I've only played Jet Set Radio on it, so it might just be that JSR looks alright, and the others look wank XD

I have a 2003/2004 Compaq flat screen monitor. It's kind of a hefty beast to lug around but with the VGA adapter it makes the Dreamcast look great on the games that support it.

I play DC on a Sylvania (couldn't remember the name 'cause i covered it up with black electrical tape) standard CRT TV. 13" screen. XD Dead serious, I just measured it.

My DC is hooked up to my Emerson VCR/DVD hybrid via RF switch (I plan on buying a composite [YWR] cable for it soon off of Amazon). The VCR is hooked up to the TV via antenna cable thingamajig (don't know what else to call it).

TL;DR: DC -{RF switch}-> VCR -{antenna}-> 13" TV. Quality is actually pretty good for RF switch (the secret is to put it on channel 4). Sidenote: my VCR is getting gangbanged by 5 consoles (used to be 7). :biggrin:
