I got myself a new Sony 40" Bravia (W series) for Christmas. This afternoon I wired my MSX and had a go at Nemesis! Brilliant!

pretty funny coincident.
I actually bought sony bravia 50" rear projection television (KDF-5000) few weeks before christmas, and last friday I played Nemesis III: The Eve of destruction with it.
Edit:
@ djh1697: Just remembered.... Did you happen to have any problems with that setup? If I turned my msx off and then back on (after waiting a while) the colours were distorted on the screen. the blue in boot logo was greenish, and the picture quality was quite horrible. I used S-VHS output of my tR to the S-VHS input of the TV. I had to boot again and the the picture looked as it should. This happened pretty often.
The picture looked same like it looks in my grundig "normal" television if I use it's S-VHS input but choose the AV (composite) input from the remote.
This seems to me like the sony television somehow didn't always sync the svhs picture correctly. The same svhs input works great with my dvd player.
Could there be differences in the svhs connectors from 1992 compared to the connectors today??

I used the SVHS connector - no problem. I have my PC wired to the TV set as well, the quality of the picture using BlueMSX is probably better! When (if) I ever get my preordered OCM I can try that. I also use a TurboR GT.
The KDL40W2000, the model I purchased has had some very good write rewievs in sound/vision magazines here in the UK. I doubt Sony would think people still use MSX computers with there modern TV's. I have a Sega megaDrive that I may try soon. I am running out of SCART sockets though  |

Almost too much of a coincidence indeed  I have a 37" Loewe LCD TV and last week, while cleaning out some closets I stumbled across an old NMS8245 with a bunch of discs, and just for the fun of it, I booted it with NemesesII wnd played the first level in one go, but then I decided that without sound, it was just not enough fun, so I switched it all off again, and the MSX is back in the box |

maybe we should have a poll? the biggest monitor used with MSX, XanOri is leading at 50", does a projector count as a monitor though?  |

In this case it does. Remember it's a rear projection TV: it looks like a (large) tv, but is in fact a projector within a box with screen and fixed distance...
If a real projector counts: I sometimes use a screen of 3 by 2 meters....

40'' for me then, LVC LT40S70BU connected to my PC, using BlueMSX. I've sold my real msx'es years ago (I should've known better) but I got a 8235 present some months ago. I connected that but it gave quite bad quality opposed to Blue/OpenMSX
The filters of BlueMSX are fantasic, yet somehow I have periods I turn them off, just to have that 'blocky' experience again. Damn I love playing MOG or Vampire Killer at a big screen |
