LCD TV recommendation (2013)

LCD is NOT the right choice for SNES and old consoles, too many issues you're likely to run into visually (no scanlines, wrong aspect ratio) - and a "good" gaming TV is going to have up to 2 frames of lag!

Instead I would take a look around for a small-ish CRT television (or even a pro Trinitron monitor if you have the money) and get an LCD screen for your "daily" viewing and HD consoles.

I personally recommend against recommending things for which the OP was NOT seeking recommendations :P

I would recommend against a Samsung as well, but not because of any issues with consoles (though nothing composite era looks very good on it IMO) but because they put faulty caps in their power supplies. There was a class action over it, and they're repairing TV's from 2008 or earlier with the bad caps, but apparently they didn't stop doing using bad caps because my Samsung just developed one of the same issues as they got class actioned over. Of course mine's too new to get in on the class action settlement, but also ~3 weeks out of warranty. Never buying Samsung again.

Wow, had no idea that there was actually a suit!

I replaced the caps in my 46"er from 2007 a few years back. Pissed me off that I had to repair a 2 year old TV
