I still game on my CRT TV, since its still going strong after like 7 years. Funny thing is that my TV has a HDMI port. Its one of those late in the game CRT TV's that were labeled "HD READY" and supported up to 1080i. Does anyone else keep a CRT around these days?

I have a couple friends who still do. It works, and it's an expense they don't need right now. I hope they know they can't use the next-gen consoles though. There's don't have HDMI but I don't know if those HD Ready ones will even work. 4:3 support confirmed? The WiiU doesn't even work and it has composite cables.

Well my TV supports 16x9, but overscan will be the biggest issue. I was playing the gameplay video of GTA V on my xbox in 1080i, and the overscan will be bad, that the health part of the HUD is not seen anymore lol. I might have to adjust it on the service menu if all the screen fits. Or I could simply choose 480p or i. Overscan will be a big issue on some games I think for next gen, and if they decide to ditch 1080i support.

I think the only ones that are that big are Rear Projection tv's. But that would be sick.
