How about this TV: KV-40XBR800 It's a 40" "direct view" whatever that means, but it looks like it's a standard CRT, so it shouldn't have any problems at all with videogames right? Or would the rear projections you guys listed by just as good overall?
So rear projection is OK to play games on? Cool. I thought I'd have to choose something more expensive if I intended to use some videogames with it (XBox etc.). I'll check out those magazines, and I'm looking up the models you both recommended right now. Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation, sounds just like what I'm experiencing here when comparing the converter with DC VGA box. I guess my Hong Kong box is OK then. Hopefully the next XBox will have VGA output as standard. I still can't believe Microsoft, of all companies, wouldn't include that...

Someone told me about this site: http://www.xboxvga.com/ The guy's name is Ken Gasper, and he sells homemade component to VGA boxes. I have one from Hong Kong, but it's slightly dark output compared to my Dreamcast VGA output for example, so I'm wondering if his are better. Is this site...
