I'd say they are better than a CRT because unless you own a broadcast level monitor the avarage family CRT won't look anywhere near as sharp as the Framemeister. I was brought up on RGB and high quality CRT screens so I know what a good CRT inage looks like but honestly, I can say the framemeister looks much sharper. Plus you have a bigger screen and no need to have a bulky CRT in the room.

man..... that's pricy but oh so beautiful...

Friend has one and its super nice but to save some $$$ I got a 32" sony triton crt off craigslist for $60 and yes it weighs a ton but the genesis and n64 look great using rgb to component converter. Other nice thing is the tv actually has a digital tuner so I watch regular tv in the bedroom/gameroom whenever.

Yeah, I'm in a very similar boat. I've been on the fence about buying one of these for ages...but part of me keeps wanting to see what their next one will be able to do. Regardless though that's awesome that you've been able to provide these to the community for that much cheaper!

As with all tech you will be waiting for the next one but in the case of Micomsoft's XRGB series they take their sweet time. The XRGB-3 came out 6 years before the Framemeister. 6 years is a very long wait. The release between the XRGB-2 and XRGB-3 was also pretty long. The price doesn't really change either. I guess Micomsoft knows they have great hardware so the charge for it Image Sad I know but quality always comes at a price I'm afraid.

Man, if I could get someone to buy my XRGB2 to partially fund this, I would be all over it.

The retail price is crazy. Even though this fellow's offer is a lot less than other sources. Can't believe no one from outside Japan hasn't struck an export deal with Micomsoft to import them to NA or EU.

The price does seem crazy but then you look at the other high end up scan units and find Micomsoft do sell at a good price. There are many problems up–scan converters on the market that are far worse than the XRGB series yet cost twice as much.

Yeah, but in another 5 years I'll be looking to move and not wanting to take a 36" CRT with me, so I'm hoping they keep with their 6 year plan. I can't promise I won't impulse buy one though >.>

It takes sound in if you use the RGB IN port from SCART? Can Dreamcast VGA go into the D-Terminal? I wouldn't think so RGB vs. D-Term/Component.
