Best LCD TV-set for the C64?
Most people I've talked to, doesn't recommend a LCD TV as a C64 monitor, but my question is: which is the best one? I'm looking forward to a slick C64 setup with 1541U and a very portable monitor. :D

That said do NOT get this monitor if you are not prepared to fix its PSU - it WILL go wrong even if you find a working one. We had 3 (or 4?) in the company, and all of them had to be recapped at some point.
Thank you. I found couple of refurbished here in SVK for around 70 bucks. I might try one. |

For LCDs I can safely recommend the "transitional" SD studio gear like LMD-1410, LMD-1420 or even better but noticeably more expensive LMD-1750W. All are designed to work with analogue signals, have Y/C inputs and adapt perfectly to even non-interlaced, out of specs video like the one coming out of unmodified C64. I have multiple units. Especially the 1410s, which I used to use in my late TV studio times. Can put up some for sale too. And even if nothing beats a good, hi-res studio CRT, when space is at premium then they are the next best thing I use to connect retro machines to |

My precious 1084S is starting to have issues (I've had it since I was around 16). Even with s-video I can see color banding going down the screen.
I was lucky enough to get a Kawari lately and I couldn't be happier. Although it has that "emulator" look, I don't mind that.
It's depressing that good CRT (and LCD) options are going away for C64 users. Especially in the US.
