Right now i curently have a 19" that i play my NES on.   Im looking to upgrade to something in the 30"+ range.  I need help on what kind of TV will give the best colors, best  clarity,  and whatever else that might be important in picking a new TV for my NES.   Thanks, Andy

I know with one of the high tech TVs you can't use the Zapper gun.  I think its a plasma screen TV but I'm not sure.  My only suggestion is to make sure you get a TV that is compatible with the Zapper gun.

I didn't know that the zapper gun didn't work for some televisions. I guess that explains why 2 of my zapper guns mysteriously stopped working when I pulled them out and tried to play Chiller. If I were to get a tv simply to play the NES on I wouldn't go to high tech. HDTV and all the other high tech stuff won't really help out to much for the nes. I would just get a basic tv that was around the 25-30 in range.

My TV is retro; just like my NES. ;D It's perfectly flat on top & has no AV hookups.  I couldn't get rid of it even if I wanted too. :P It was made around 1990. It's older than my little brother. :o

The zapper will have problems with LCD, plasma, & projection screens.

I would say that's the way to go, brother!  ;)

I've also heard that the zapper doesn't work on plasmas. HuH, thought maybe it was just a rumor. Those good 'ol days will be missed.. :'(

I have a Philips 55 inch rear projection HDTV and zapper games don't work.  Don't bother me much, I just set up a second NES on another TV when I want to bust out the zapper.

So you need to go into another room when you need to bust a cap in some uglyducklins & some flat spinnin hoodlums?

One thing I wonder, does having a bigger TV help when using the lightgun? I mean, it's not like you can't just go up to the screen & fire point blank at everybody. :P

Thats what I used to do in my old apartment:

The big screen found its way into my living room and the little guy is used for gaming now.  Just tore up Chiller and gum shoe last night  ;D

WTF's on TV?  :D

BTW: love the set-up, bro. Reminds me of mine..without the Famicoms of course  :P

It's the Ving Rhames workout!
