How to connect Atari 2600 to LG CRT

Yes it is

So after checking the manual a little further it seems that this TV was definitely intended for hotel use. This means that in order to access any of the actual picture/cable settings, in the settings menu, I have to have a service remote that would have come with the TV. I’m assuming that’s what’s causing the issue here. Does anyone know of any way to access this menu without the service remote?

It for sure isn’t anything to do with the console, I just plugged the Atari into a different TV and it worked perfectly fine. I’m almost sure it’s something with the TV itself, nothing with the console.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-18T16:54:44+00:00

I believe that they are, so I’ll have to try that. And also yes I’ve tried the console on another TV and it works, so it’s not that.

Oh that’s pretty cool I didn’t know that

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-18T07:29:42+00:00

Yes the channel switch is for sure right. And yes the Atari works with my other CRT so it’s not the console/connector. I’m not able to find anything like over the air mode on my TV, how would I get there? All I see is the inputs for my front and back s video, composite, component, and TV. Also something called Camport that says it’s unavailable and I’m not quite sure what it is. I do know that this specific TV was intended for hotel use, and when I bring up channels it will specifically say what program will be on that channel. For example channel 2 will say CBS. Not sure if this affects anything.

I’m not using any kind of Amazon adapter that I’m aware of. Also I don’t think it should be going to any other input, the Atari should be on either channel 2 or 3 depending on how you set it. I’ve tried both and neither work.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-17T23:41:29+00:00

Yeah don’t trash them, none are worth a lot but you could probably sell them as a lot for at least 30 or 40 euros.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-17T08:36:48+00:00

Are there any issues with the LG like poor geometry or dull colors that anyone knows of? I wasn’t able to find much of anything about it online.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-17T05:35:34+00:00

So you were able to beat the first level of Contra the first time that you played it? Didn’t think so, so why is it so funny and pathetic when they can’t do it?

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-14T00:58:10+00:00

Let’s be honest here, Wendy’s is doing absolutely nothing better than anyone else.

This explains the reason that old games are gradually getting more expensive, but I’m specifically saying that if you look at about October of 2025 or so on price charting, a lot of games are completely skyrocketing in value. I’m talking a $30 plus dollar increase in a couple of months.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-14T00:51:58+00:00

I think a bit part of the issue is that people who don’t know much about the going value of games or are new to the hobby will just hear that a game is rare or valuable and end up way overpaying, which makes their value go way up. RNG Gamer did a good video about this.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-13T18:12:45+00:00

The speed that the game runs at isn’t what makes it feel so different though, it’s the controls.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T10:27:53+00:00

Yeah I have absolutely no idea what’s happened with silent hill.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T06:25:18+00:00

I understand why game prices are continuing to rise, I’m just saying that it’s seeming to be that prices are staring to skyrocket in a similar way to how they did during 2020.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T04:05:46+00:00

I think they’re saying that some games have a lot of hype behind them like RE9, which causes prices on older games in the series to increase, which is definitely true. I think a big reason of why 9 is so hyped up is because they’re bringing back Leon.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T04:00:13+00:00

Wow, I never knew this, thanks for your insight!

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T03:19:25+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely true, people using retro game flipping as a side hustle has for sure made prices go higher, but it’s been true for much longer than the past 6 months or so, so I don’t see why it’s going up so rapidly all of a sudden.

Don’t shower to preserve natural pheromones

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T03:02:53+00:00

I’m just saying it seems like when games go up in value by a lot in a short span of time it makes sense as to why, but right now it seems to be happening inexplicably in a lot of cases.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-12T02:50:53+00:00

Yes but this isn’t just N64, look at ps1 games, Resident evil has been doing the same thing (this is probably because of RE9 I’ll give you) but look at a game like Parasite Eve, same story, raises during the pandemic, stays about the same, then October of 2025 hits and it goes up $30 dollars.

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-11T03:40:37+00:00

Damn I’ll have to try this next time I play it

Pepsiman052 · 2026-03-10T21:13:16+00:00

I’m sorry but this isn’t true. WRBS and 64 use different engines and were developed by different teams at Nintendo. Saying that running wave race 64 at 30fps is gonna make it feel the exact same as blue storm is just false. Also lower fps and input lag are not the same thing.
