So my husband just got a new LCD tv and when I unpacked my N64 and Ps2 and go to hook them up, I discover no A/V input on this tv. The only things it has are HDMI, PC In, Cable/Antenna and Video/Component In. The last one when I try to search to see if there's anything that would work with it, the search always comes up with S-Video cables which is nothing like what is on this tv. This is what the Video/Component In looks like on my tv:
I've heard you can use RF adapters that hook into the cable input, but also hear they won't work with new tvs. Plus when I look at them, they always have reviews saying it doesn't work or the audio/video quality is so bad you can't play. Is there any other way to hook up a N64 to a new LCD tv or is it a lost cause and I should just try to find an older tv to use just for it?

Nope, there are no red, white and yellow inputs or the blue, green and red inputs for composite. Just that little slit input it shows on the picture. :/
Your TV should have come with an adapter included in the box. This adapter plugs into the "Video/Component In" slot on your specific TV, and allows you to plug Component Video into it. Sony basically just "moved" the Component inputs to a separate attachment for whatever reason (cost, space, etc.)
So I'd check your box again, and if you don't have it, call up Sony and have them send you one for free!
They may have also included a separate adapter for Composite; or, the Component adapter may also accept Composite input. But I couldn't confirm those things for sure.
Ah, that would explain what that slot is for lol. Sadly we got this tv out of box. It was the last one at Best Buy and the display so we got a super great deal on it. But that meant no adapter was included.
We did get a remote thank God! lol If I remember correctly the guy did say something about them not having the adapter but they did have the remote for it. I'll see about giving them a call in the morning to see if anything can be done. I do have a small tv with the AV inputs, but I would love to play it on the big screen. Plus I don't really have anywhere to put the smaller tv, it's just in a closet for now.
