Does your TV not have AV inputs on the back? I noticed a couple years ago that new flat screen TV's don't have AV jacks, or you have to share the green component jack with the yellow AV video jack. I also find it crazy how S-video is no longer made on TVs!!!!

When using a Famicom on a HD TV, there might be lag. Always use the Game Mode setting. You may also have to adjust the color settings. When I played Super Mario Bros on the HD TV, the sky was purple instead of blue. I had to go into advanced settings to find an option to use the native colors or something like that.

Have you considered the rgb mod + micomsoft framemeister combo?

This might work... use a HDMI or Component DVD or Blu-Ray player that has AV jacks on the back? Some of these players can kinda upscale the image, so this might make your TV recognize the signal.

Looks like your tv can't do 240 and wont even double it which would make it 480.

You can get a composite to hdmi and it should work but wont look that great on a hdtv,even if the console worked just fine without a converter it would still look very choppy.

I have a Vizio 4K flat panel I bought last year and it does not support any 240p consoles.  If I wanted to use my AV Famicom, I would need a NESRGB + Framemeister or a Hi-Def NES Mod.

You could use a video scaler to upscale the 240P to 480P. Key Digital makes some nice units.

Indeed. My wife "forced" me to buy a new TV and the only way I could even attempt to connect my FC was via coaxial (Thank god that I saved that PVM from Sony),...Unless you are living in a household where you need to be "wary" I would really recommend you to go to Craigslist or similar to get a cheap CRT instead.  :-[
