What's that display plate on your deck? Are you using it docked only?

Its some off brand. I use a cheap 10$ HDMI to video/audio adapter. And yeah mostly in dock mode to play a game its just that and a couple of ps4 or USB controllers.

Its not just retro games, sonic racing works really well with friends and this old tv.

Sonic Mania would be amazing on that tv

It was. Played a run on there. The speakers are by far the best thing about it. Fantastic sound.

Awesome, I have been wanting to do this for my desktop pc. Does anyone know a decent converter that isn't really expensive and if at all possible uses Display Port?

I use retroarch for crt era games, they have a decent crt shader that almost does the job
