There are several displays you can use for emulation. Some are better than others.
CRT TVs
- Can display a wide range of resolutions up to 480p.
- No input delay
- Very fast response time
- True Black
- Wide viewing angle
- 4:3 Aspect ratio (With a few exceptions)
How to connect to a CRT Tv:
- Wii would be easiest. Can output to 240p
- VGA to RCA and S-Video converter box. Outputs to 480i
CRT monitors
- All benefits of a CRT TV besides native inputs for actual hardware
- 480p mode (lower with some tricks, such as doubling the refresh rate to 120Hz, Beware of motion blur)
- Easy to connect to a computer
- Larger resolutions available, often massive
- Not as large as many TVs, rarely larger than 19" or 21"
- 4:3 Aspect ratio (With a few exceptions, notably the FW900)
LCD (TN)
- Native resolution which all output must scale to
- Fairly fast response times
- 120hz displays with hacks can display motion at the same level as a CRT tv. See:
LCD (IPS)
- Native resolution which all output must scale to
- Vivid colors and contrast
- Good viewing angles
- Massive resolutions available.
- No 120Hz for motion (Unless that's changed, who knows)
- Fairly long response times (May differ between panels)
