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)
