I got one of these four years ago so I could use an old VCR with a modern TV.
Works great! Amazon shows no longer available, but similar products can be found for about $10.

- aidenn0 3y agoNobody's having issues connecting them to modern TVs, the issue is they don't look even remotely the same.
- anonymousiam 3y agoWell, maybe nobody here is having issues, but right now I own only one monitor with a composite video input. None of the other dozen TVs and monitors I own have one. Fortunately most DTVs can still display NTSC RF, so that's also an option for old equipment.

- anonymousiam 3y agoInteresting. What's the opinion on OLED? I've been pretty happy with the results connecting my Nintendo Wii to one.
- aidenn0 3y agoPretty much all modern displays are too sharp for low-resolution bitmaps designed for a CRT. The whole modern "pixel art" where you see the art being made up of visible squares is not what you actually would have seen in the 8/16-bit console eras on a TV. Later arcade cabinets were much sharper, but still pixels were more like overlapping circles with Gaussian blur than they were squares.
- marbleless 3y agoThe Wii is fine on OLED, the issue is with older consoles. Anything designed for TV's before 720p was a thing are where you will run into display disparities.
