Hi,

I am planning to buy a CRT TV (preferrably sony because of its trinitron picture tube)

Preferrable features:
  • Good Sound
  • S-Video In

I want the S-Video IN because with that i can connect my PC directly to the tv, so if anyone of you is using the same method then please tell me is the picture from the S-Video sufficiently clear to watch movies because i have tried my best to connect the S-Video from my PC to the composite IN of my tv but the result is that i always a Black and White Picture.

I also visited a sony world outlet and looked at all the models and i found that only one TV has an S-video IN which is of 25" but i liked the 29" size so i am confused which one to buy.

Also my viewing distance is 7ft 6inches so please also suggest me which screen size should i buy.


Please help me out guys.

Thanks

i think u should go for a 29 inch sony.using it and its good.look for mobel with subwoophers for good sound.

svideo port is ok but u get a much lower resolution than your pc's monitor.
