Sony Trinitron, hands down, 21-28 inch. I have one and the Neo Geo looks awesome, infact all retro shit looks awesome on it.

Most Trintron's will have at least on rgb scart outlet, though most 21 inches and over have 2 like mine. Fuck wide screens, even though you can switch to a 4:3 ratio you have black borders on both sides, and I think that looks shit imo.

This is the model I got Sony KV21LS30-21
It still has a 16:9 ratio widescreen option but at least the 4:3 ratio covers the whole screen and no black borders, that's how retro games should be played imo.

What ever CRT you use, try to get one that was made before the year 2000. As most that came after were made with cheap parts. My Panasonic sometimes gets this really strange looking yellow blob on the right hand side. It comes and goes almost randomly. :crying:

Try and look for RGB Monitors, most if not all are old CRT's from factories and workplaces or just bought by some guy.

They used to be thousands of dollars, now you could get a 32" for like $100 easy. All you would need to do is wire the Neo to straight RGB and you're set. They usually are quite huge and can range in brand from Sony to NEC or Mitsubishi.

I have a Mitsubishi 37" rgb monitor and I can vouch for it's beauty. It's amazing and they aren't that expensive.

You don't need a Trinitron. Really any new large screen name brand SD CRT, preferrably one with component inputs, will work great for old consoles compared to an LCD.

Sounds huge!

Had you to employ a SCART ---> VGA converter to connect your Neo*Geo to it?
