TurboGrafx-16
Resolution 240*

*The TurboGrafx-16 used a variety of resolutions, but they can roughly be lumped under the category of 240. None of the resolutions approach 480 lines of resolution.


Getting the best video quality

The TurboGrafx-16 console shipped with RF out. RF provides the worst A/V quality of any connector. The TG-16 also had an expansion slot. With the slot you could connect an accessory called the Turbo Booster. The turbo booster gives the console A/V out by adding composite video and RCA audio cables. This is the ideal way of getting the best possible audio and video quality out of your console.

Alternatives to the turbo booster

  • Make your own cable - If you feel comfortable buying a few parts you can make your own A/V connectors. This is a bit more involved, but can save you some money
