Then it is indeed a god among budget TV's. Nice taste by the way on choice of Nintendo, I recently got an A/V Famicom Toploader, as well. (My Yobo 72pin to 60pin adapter isn't the greatest, but what can you do?)

Thanks!

The A/V Famicom Toploader is definitely the way-to-go (if you don't mind using an adapter for NoA NES titles). The blinking-red-light-of-death is not something I want to deal with anymore and the RF-only output of the NoA NES Toploader is a no-go as well.

My 72->60 pin adapter is really crazy-looking. It looks like some guy hacked it together in his garage, but it works like a dream.

In fact, it looks exactly like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271300605863
