Flatscreen database -- plug and play DC VGA models

[oopsmyseamandied]

Well, as I shop for a new TV, I thought this would be a good idea. I've seen it elsewhere but the attempts generally get cluttered up with chat and speculation.

Let's start a list of models KNOWN to work effortlessly with Dreamcast VGA input. New or old, doesn't matter. Almost anything of any age can be located and purchased. Any contribution should be models without a doubt, ones you have actually, physically tried yourself, or actually own.

Please, no speculation. No, "I heard this one was good." No questions, inquiries, "do you think this one would work," chat, etc etc. If you have a model to add of which you are absolutely certain, that's all this thread needs. However, personal opinions on a model known to work would be nice.

This could be a great resource for alot of people, so please don't stray!

Especially nice, would be info on 120/240Hz models that work fine in 60Hz mode.

I'll be adding several because I've been bringing my Dreamcast WITH me to shop, lol. The first two I've found are:

Samsung LN46D550K1
60Hz LCD
It's been mentioned before and it's true, Samsung is probably the best choice for DC. This one looks quite nice in action.

Dynex 46L150
60Hz LCD
Good for a budget, but of dubious clarity.

hrm, I was hoping this would be a good thing!

Well, my search is over so I have nothing left to contribute.

Toshiba 40G300U
120Hz LCD
Takes a second to auto-adjust but goes right to true 4:3, no stretch and with an unbelievable level of clarity. The bezel has a bit of that corny "modernism" to it, but really subtle, just a slight fade to clear gray along the bottom.

Toshiba 40E200U
60Hz LCD
Same as above but nicer-looking imo. 40" is the biggest size. This one has the most handsome bezel of any I shopped for, clean basic black, nicely contoured, with a low backlight to the Toshiba logo.

Toshiba may very well be another "magic" brand for DC alongside Samsung. I tried a 32" led model along with this, no problems but it was a floor model with no info, a missing badge, and no overstock.

I went with the G300U because I could seek out a 46" model. I have yet to truly vouch for the size upgrade. I would imagine the autoscale and compatibility will be the same.
