This TV couuld still be used with video games if the game is connected to the set using an RF modulator. The video quality may not be as good as a direct RGB input, but as long as it works, I don't think anyone short of a real purist would care how the game is connected to the TV; after all, with a video game, one of the last things anyone would care about, IMHO, would be a razor-sharp picture. I cannot imagine kids or teenagers being anywhere near that fussy as long as the game's main screen looks good. If it were smeared or out of focus, they might complain, but as long as the screen is watchable, I don't see how anyone short of a video purist would care about slight imperfections. RF modulators, after all, were being used to connect video games and other devices to TVs for many years.
