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 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.

It's perfectly flat on top & has no AV hookups. I couldn't get rid of it even if I wanted too. It was made around 1990. It's older than my little brother. The zapper will have problems with LCD, plasma, & projection screens.

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

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.. Cry

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.
