Would it be a problem to put SNES on LCD tv?

I'm trying to decide on a console to put on my bedroom TV. I currently have a PS3, but I'm in the process of moving and all my consoles are getting new lopcations as well. I'm trying to decide between putting my old systems on there, mostly interested in putting my SNES on, but would also like to do my NES if I can, or if I should get an Xbox 360 and use that. My biggest concern is getting the systems to work on a newer TV. The biggest thing I remember from my younger years was first getting this systems and it always being a nightmare trying to get them to work on the TV. I mainly remember the SNES because I was old enough to know what was going on and also because the NES was originally my brothers system. I know I had to get an extra piece for the SNES to get it to work on my TV originally, which I still have. Normally, I would just try to hook up the system, however, my SNES has made the move ahead of me, so I don't have it to test right now and there are a couple of games I would like to get for other systems that I already have for the SNES and don't really want them for both.This is the TV I would be hooking it up to: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9252002Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

If it aint a samsung it will play just fineWould it be a problem to put SNES on LCD tv?
Your SNES will be fine and if you can output to s-video it'll look even more fantastic. Only the original SNES units support s-video, though. The later redesign cheaped out and removed it. Normal composite cables or RF-out will work too, they just won't be as pretty. The only problem with LCD/plasma TVs and older systems is that the lack of a cathrode tube makes the old light guns useless. Edit: For the record, I have an NES, SNES and a Genesis on my LG LCD TV and they never have given me problems.
Thanks, that's great to know... I would say my SNES is probably a later model as I didn't get it for a while after it was released because that was really when I started getting into video games. For that particular system I never did get a gun, but I have the one for duck hunt on my NES, but it really isn't of concern to me. I just wanted to make sure of whether or not it would work on my tv so I know what games to get for my other system, i.e. Yoshi's Island for DS and Tetris for Wii. But this definitely makes me happy now :-)Thanks again for your help!

[/QUOTE] Hey I have an LG LCD tv as well, and my super nes does not work as I would hope. I also tried to download a game off the virtual console on my wii and its no better. The game (i will say Super Mario 3, thats the one I have tried across the original super nes and the wii VC) is jerky and slow. When I am running at full speed there is no animation for mario, he just slides across the screen. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem or needs some more info I would really appreciate it. Thanks :)
It will work fine but it won't look as good as it does on a SDTV.
from my past experience the older the system the worse the tv you should play it on :P playing snes on a high res tv just makes all the graphics look like dirty jpeg pictures especally games like dk country
Hi all,I've finally made my move now and was getting ready to hook up my SNES (that's what I decided to do on the bedroom TV) anyhow, I have all the cable except for the AC outlet cable. Now, I know it is in one of the boxes somewhere, it is just a matter of finding it. However, I would like to get the SNES hooked up and try my games to make sure it works so I can go ahead and get an Xbox if it doesn't and I'm still quite a ways from finishing my unpacking. My question is, could I just find another plug with the same volts (I believe it is 120v but would have to double check) and use that, or would I be better of just waiting to find the correct cable?Thanks so much!
[QUOTE=''blazinpuertoroc'']If it aint a samsung it will play just fine[/QUOTE]Samsung tvs work fine, but if you disagree please provide specific information instead of just saying ''oh those don't work''.The reason older TVs work better for older consoles is because of the nature of the display technologies. The old SDTVs were all CRT based, and CRT sets don't have a fixed resolution. Never HDTVs like LED, DLP, LCD, Plasma, etc all have a fixed resolution that is much higher than the resolution of the older consoles. As a result, the console's input has to be scaled up to the resolution of your display which will always result in a quality loss because it's not a 1:1 conversion.-Byshop
my samsung 32 inch shows a green line only on snes games throgh composite but plays well on s video
That's not simply because it's a Samsung. Something else is going on there.-Byshop

my sony HDTV does the same, it works fine, but often I have to reduce the screen size, or the picture becomes somewhat more pixelated. this is true with any pre PS2 console I have.



on the plus side, the colours are better then they were with a normal TV
All my old consoles work fine on my Samsung flat panel, although I have to admit I can't play my NES or Amiga 500 too long without feeling like my eyes are gonna burn out.

If I can't find it in a couple days I will try another cord, but I don't think I want to risk my SNES because I'm too dumb to figure out what cord to use.Thanks again!
I believe it will play alright on it.
