Question: Will an LCD Television Work With My Old VCR?
Answer: An LCD television made for consumer use will work with any existing video component with standard AV, S-Video, or component video outputs. In addition, some LCD TVs have DVI-HDCP inputs, but most have HDMI connections for use with high definition sources. Also, because of their thin, flat panel design, many LCD television have side-mounted connections, making the attachment your other components and cable or satellite TV box much easier.
The only cautionary note about using an LCD television with a VCR is that since VHS is of such low resolution and has poor color consistency, it may not look as good on a larger LCD screen TV as it does on a smaller 27-inch analog television. In addition, if the VHS source is especially poor (such recordings made in the EP mode or in poor lighting conditions), the LCD TV make exhibit more motion lag artifacts than it would with high quality video input sources.
