THIS is the ULTIMATE CRT TV Upgrade!

Correction: The PlayStation 1 cannot do component video, the PS2 and PS3 can. Also the PS3 can't play Blurays via Component due to dumb old idea about "Copy Protection" and the evils of the "Analog Hole"

The ultimate upgrade for your CRT TV isn't a rare, expensive converter box—it's the Sony PlayStation 3!

Discover the secret that unlocks the full potential of your retro setup, turning it into a modern media powerhouse.

As modern streaming devices like Roku and Chromecast have abandoned analog video support, retro enthusiasts have been left with aspect-ratio-destroying converter boxes. In this video, we show you why the PS3, a console perfectly positioned between the analog and HD eras, is the ultimate solution.
