The '''RCA F27TF700''' is a 27-inch TruFlat CRT television made by Thomson in Mexico in 2002. It features a full set of inputs including a unique VPORT for Xbox connection.

== VPORT ==

~~Per CRT Database: Picture quality~~ is ~~excellent thanks to~~ the ~~Philips jungle chip~~. ~~The VPORT essentially~~ functions as a second YPbPr input ~~using a proprietary Xbox cable - you can use~~ an Xbox component cable in reverse to connect other consoles ~~that way~~.

The VPORT is a proprietary connector designed for the original Xbox console, hence the "XBOX READY" branding. It functions as a second YPbPr component input, and an Xbox component cable can be used in reverse to connect other consoles through this port.[https://crtdatabase.com/crts/rca/rca-f27tf700] Dedicated VPORT-to-component breakout cables (RCA model GP650XB) were also produced, and custom cables are still made by aftermarket sellers.[https://tkscustomsupermodz.com/products/intec-accessory-rca-xbox-ready-vport-tv-cables]

== Picture Quality ==

The F27TF700 uses a Philips jungle chip for video processing, which contributes to strong picture quality.[https://crtdatabase.com/crts/rca/rca-f27tf700]
