I've put this in the gaming section as this product is really only of interest to those who have older retro consoles and ideally want a CRT to use with them.
Probably one of the last sources of a new CRT set. It features a pure flat tube and built in dvd recorder. It's a basic Chinese set but with a good feature set. As far as I know there is no freeview tuner just the old style analogue type.
Stock running down low now so last chance I think. I have no connection with seller.
Important retro features.
1. Works with lightguns etc from older consoles.
2. Features a RGB scart input.
3. Can record gameplay onto DVD+R, DVD+RW discs. Not sure if it will record in RGB quality or composite only though.
4. Can be made multi-region for dvd playback
5. 60Hz frame rate compatible.
6. Gives improved images with older consoles over flat screen panels
7. 0ms latency. Has no ability to process images. Literally the signal goes in and immediately goes to the guns of the tube so many games will play better and be more responsive.
8. A rare brand new CRT so the tube has its full lifespan ahead of it.
9. Provides a headphone socket.
10. On screen menus and service menu access for altering screen.
11. Works with RF output from earlier 8/16 bit computers and consoles.
12. Compact size meaning great for a retro corner.
13. Side AV terminals for composite/audio.
Ideal for;
Playstation 1 and 2
Nintendo NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube and wii
Megadrive, 32X, Mega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast
Original Xbox
plus many other devices.
Also other later hardware possibly running emulation that will benefit from 0ms latency for the emulated games.
Someone posted a deal for VHS tapes the other day that went hot.
(Joking aside, I heard that CRT are better for some gaming that requires low response times. You don't get that with most modern TVs now.)

The latency is mostly caused by the image processing of the television, something that you can usually turn off, or use a dedicated PC or console input setting that tries to bypass the processing and reduce latency. its the same reason why the old light guns wont work, they relied on a crt refresh rate that had a predictable frequency, something that isn't as predictable in modern tv's.

The flat screen ones dont work well with Light guns, which is one of the main reasons to own a crt
