    I have this TV:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat95100050027&id=1142298658960

    Well, it sucks since I have to buy components for all my systems, but ok I did it, but here's the problem. I only have one set of Component inputs, and I do know you can buy a splitter box to get more than one. What's the best one?

    Lastly, I'm an old school gamer as well. Is there anything you guys can recommend so my NES/SNES/Genesis, etc doesnt have that milky white overtone? Thanks

    You could actually buy any AV switch box really. You could actually take 2 splitters that switch between 4 composite video devices, use one for the stereo sound inputs, and the other switcher for the component video inputs.

    As far as NES/SNES/Genesis, I'm not sure what all you could do. For the NES you're probably screwwed as far as any better input. For SNES and Genesis you can get RGB output. I'm not sure by what you mean milky white overtone. Fiddling with your TV settings may help. But as far as video quality goes the best you'll get out of SNES and Genesis is RGB which it sounds like your TV doesn't accept. So the next best thing that you can get from SNES is S-Video, for Genesis I think you are screwwed unless you have that JVC Genesis+Sega CD console that outputs S-Video.

    I have the Pelican System Selector Pro, great deal but I've yet to pipe component or svideo over it. Only the first 3 have optical and component switching capabilities along with ethernet. The rest all have svideo and composite. It's faceplate names are quite outdated now with no 360 or even GameCube plates.

    I to have a pelican system selector pro. I use it to split my high def componet signals for xbox and 360 and its perfect. No discoloration or anything, its great. I payed 60 for mine about a year ago at a gamecrazy in ohio. It can also split optical audio and do networking so its a awsome buy. Its made of metal to so it will last. Thats what I would go with.

    Another vote for the Pelican system selector pro here. I have had mine for over a year and I haven't found a fault with it yet.

    Pelican here too. I am really picky about visuals and I see no degredation in the switched video (component, s-video and composite). I just wish it had a remote.
