It's a 13-inch Disney Princess TV. I know it's for girls, but I honestly think it looks more appealing than some generic silver or black CRT.

It's analog 480i only, has 2 composite AV ports, and can receive NTSC channels 2-69, as well as cable channels 1-125.

I'm debating whether I should pull the trigger on this, as it's cheaper than most CRTs I can find. I'd use this for the NES, Genesis, SNES, Saturn, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, Original Xbox, or GCN, as well as my VCR.

I grew up on CRT screens pretty much since home computers came out. I have inherited a huge collection of vintage and semi modern computers and parts my dad had throughout the years but he only kept the widescreen lcd monitors. I have tried a few different ones but they look horrible with old DOS games https://speedtest.vet/.

Are there any widescreen models you can run at 4.3 and still look decent?

Probably not. If you want an authentic sharper picture you'll either need to buy a true retro CRT or connect up via an expensive upscaling device like a Retrotink.

LCD's look best at their native resolution which would be far, far higher than an old vintage computer can output. An LCD would look progressively worse the lower the resolution you go. It won't matter if it's 4:3 or widescreen.

A 13-inch Disney Princess television. Although I am aware that it is intended for females, I think it looks prettier than a conventional black or silver CRT.

It has two composite AV connectors, is analog only (480i), and can receive cable channels 1-125 and NTSC channels 2-69. I was facing a small issue then did a recording edit with alight Motion Pro APK mod and then sent it for solving.
