Will the old Sony Playstation 1 work on HDTV televisions?

We have a Vizio 42" television coming and I wondered if Sony PS1 will work with it?

Yes. It will work.
A few points:
1. The PS3 plays all PS1 games
2. If you hook up the PS1 to the Vizio and the image is stretched, set the TV to "Fullscreen" or "4:3" mode. (The reason: Your TV is Widescreen (16:9) . The PS1 was made for Fullscreen (4:3) TV’s).
Hope that helps!

    No.
    They weren’t built with HD capabilities.
    You have to play it on a standard TV.
    Hope this helps.

    Yes it will. A vizio has all the connections needed. Red White and Yellow wires. And with all respect lucifer doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I currently have my super nintendo hooked up to my vizio 32" LCD tv

    the person who said no yes you can play ps1 on hdtv all hdtv are also standard tvs also that why a falt hdtv has the connections any tv would have you just cant plug it in threw hdmi or maybe you can with some sort of adapter im not sure if they have that or not and of course you can play ps2 and ps1 on hdtv you just hook it up to the yello red and white connection in the back the standard video connection all you have to do is look at the back of your tv but be aware you will nto get hd qality from a ps2 or ps1 becuz its not hd content but it will work just like it would on a reglur tv

    Yes your PS1 console would play on your HDTV buy using Composite cable which is the yellow,red & white cable. Buy other way, did you know that you could play your old PS1 games on your PS3 console? Not only that, it will give a clear progressive picture & better sound.

    All HDTVs have composite inputs and RF(old tv aerial)connections so u can play any games console using it but non hd games consoles like ps1, ps2, xbox etc will look very pixlated(squarish) cause they were originally designed to work with old crt tvs which display interlaced images.

    yes your ps1 will work as all you need to do is to insert the scart cable from the ps1 to the tv. You are able to play the ps1 on any tv that has a scart connection.

    Yup, but the picture will be stretched so don’t expect it to look too good. As far as the working factor is concerned, then the answer is yes.You will need to connect it with the AV cable (HDMI wasn’t even discovered when PS1 was out). AV cable, is the 3 colored wire you usually connect most of the things which don’t have HDMI to a TV.
