LG makes a new retro CRT TV!!!!

[L___E___T]

Did the Famicom even get released in Korea?  Nintendo have little presence over there even now for obvious reasons.  I thought it was zero back then, but then why would they use it?

Korea got the Hyundai Comboy which was essentially a NES bought by Hyundai for sale in Korea because of the trade agreement between Korea and Japan.

Wait a minute, that's no Famicom, that's a "Video Game" console!  And it's not even plugged in!

Holy Crap! and look at the Player 2 controller! It's got what looks like variable turbo or something?

Just thought I would share this. I just bought a CRT television that works great at Goodwill for $2.99. Actually they had a good bit of CRT TVs (10+) with a little table and power strip so you can try them out first and they were all marked $2.99. Ones with built in VCRs were $4.99.

So if anyone is wanting a CRT I would suggest your local Goodwill. Or you can buy LG's and you won't have to plug your famicom in.

I found this picture of a Korean Famicom, basically it is the same as the Japanese Famicom except the coloring is blue and white instead of red and white:

It actually looks pretty cool, I think I want one!

they get a NES/ Comboy and a Famicom?!?! That doesn't look licensed, but still they got both.

I actually upgraded to LCD with a XRGB2+ and to be honest I'm going to go back to CRT.  It's too much effort to get a decent picture out of a LCD and tweaking settings on an XRGB2+ is a pain.

A GOOD CRT here in Australia are now about $40-60 ($30-40US) second hand.  By good I mean a big Loewe or Grundig, Sony Wega or something nice with SCART, SVIDEO, etc.  I have found one to replace my xrgb2+ with and will keep an eye out for a spare they are coming thick and fast at the moment due to Analogue TV cutoff starts here at the end of this year.
