It is running s-video into the trinitron and composite + lr audio from the kv27s monitor out to the Mitsubishi and subwoofer. You can daisy chain as many displays as you have video outs

I recently got another convex tube 36" to replace the sony and got an extron distribution amp from ebay thanks to Kya's advice so it will be s-video and stereo to both from the switch now. I just gotta put everything back together and get more interconnects.

Glad to hear, man. You should play some Galahad and Undead Line (for genesis) if you haven't already. They seem to be unknown/underrated titles, but damn are they pretty sweet.

I know most opinions seem to be negative on the HDCRT, but in all honesty it's probably my favourite TV that I own. It displays such a nice picture for Dreamcast, Saturn, and non retro systems like PS2 and PS3. Someone also said that the N64 should look like shit, but I played Quest 64 to the end and found no issues, personally anyway.
