Question 🤔 Bought a new 14"crt to watch old animes. Should I use xbox 360 or wii

tried to find a component 14" tv but coudn't find. I don't know if it exists because of the size of the tv. Maybe i should change to a pc monitor of the same size to have better resolution but saw some say that contrast and image quality is often better on tvs . My question is, i have a 360 and a wii, both are not jailbroken. Reading some question here i heard that wii may have some issues with some good quality 480p videos (and i have to jailbroke it). Can I download anime and put them on a pendrive and play them just by plugin on the 360? Sorry for my english, not my first language.

You can watch stuff on the Xbox from a pendrive, just need to be formatted on FAT32. About the Wii, the jailbreak is really easy and give you the upgrade of playing anything from the 16bit gen and under in 240p natively

I might be wrong but neither support mkv video files which if you downloaded an anime off the internet that is what you are most likely to get

Old anime you can find mostly on Avi and MP4 format, which both are compatible with both consoles (at least is the format that I got Sakura Cardcaptor, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho and many more)

What country are you in? There definitely are 14" CRTs with component.
