And DJ is right... for most people in this age group a really nice TV with all kinds of fancy modern features and connection methods is a luxury that you probably can't afford until you get a job that pays decently.
Money isn't why my family doesn't have a modern TV though. That is accounted for by the fact that they almost never use it and that for watching movies (including DVDs) it works just fine.
Like I told DJ, unless you think $300 or $400 is an insane amount of money to spend on anything, you do not need to be Mr. Money Bags in order to afford a nice tv.
BTW you do know that it doesn't matter what kinds of cables you use with your VCR as long as the VCR connects to the TV using shitty RF cables, right? Please tell me you know that. It means that you're connecting your consoles to the TV with RF cables.
