Playing CoD4 on a CRT TV is difficult.

[Samus]

I just want a nice, small HDTV for my room. Where should I look and how much should I expect to pay? Used is fine for me.

 

[LeafPanda]

like how small?

 

[Samus]

like...no smaller than 15 inches.

do you have a monitor? the VGA cables are a little expensive, but very much worth it.

That would be the route I would go if I wanted a 15 inch t.v, just use a computer monitor.

If you can find them used at a Gamestop, they are $10.

TRU had them clearanced out a while ago as well, new ones were $20 I believe.

You should pick up a small monitor for free on www.craigslist.com

Or go garage saling, I see tons of good CRT monitors for about $5. I am even starting to find LCD monitors for $10-$15, but I hesatate to buy on ebecasue i have no idea why someone woudl sell one.

Would a computer monitor look good enough? I wanted some nice graphics.

 

[Deathmonkey]

If you want good graphics then you are going to want to get something bigger than a 15" monitor. Most 15" monitors I know of have a maximum resolution of 1024x768.

I've been using my Xbox on a larger monitor set to 1280x1024 with VGA cables and while it is 4x3 it looks pretty damn good.

CRT Monitors have unbeatable picture quality. Your title is worded poorly, the problem is that it's an SD TV not that it's a CRT TV.

That and your computer monitor will be better. The sound is still an issue though, IMO a huge part of the experience of CoD4 is the audio.

Actually, it's www.craigslist.org . I have yet to find a good deal on there that wasn't overpriced myself.

I'm very happy with the 19" Magnavox that's on sale at Target this week for $249.00. I've been mainly watching TV and playing Wii on it, but the Amazon reviews specifically mentioned that it is great with the 360. This TV also has a digital tuner.

Combine with the $15 off $100 coupon to get it down to $234.
