>people are still using CRT
Why
why do you care if people are using outdated technology?
serious question
Gamers like to blame being bad on latency instead of getting good.
>>53575408
Less display lag
480p content look good on them.
>>53575426
if they're playing super smash brothers melee then it does make a difference, I used to be pretty good back in the day and the tournaments always used those tvs with the composite video connections because lag
>>53575434
This. Devices with lower resolutions like older consoles look like ass on modern TVs, so you need a CRT to actually get the original visual quality.

>he uses 5+ year old arguments when technology has advanced significantly and solved every single problem they used to have
No excuses.
>>53575414
you don't belong here
>>53575449
Trinitron or nothing.
>>53575463
/g/ was never about buying the latest technology
see: /thinkpad/ threads
>>53575408
lower input lag
and since your pic looks like a fighting game competition i'm guessing that's the reason behind it.
>>53575461
really ? where can i find a newer good 1080p tv that upscales analoge 480p content so it doesn't look like shit
>>53575461
What old argument? Show me a modern device that can upscale 480p video without looking like shit
>>53575476
never said anything about latest technology
but /g/ IS about complaining that other people are buying/using things wrong

no it's not, that's just what faggots who have been here for three months do.
It's only fucking losers like you who participate in the

you're a fucking loser with no friends so you pull the whole "you don't belong here, d-d-do I fit in yet?"
how sad

Oh the irony

that's not what irony is dude

you did the very thing you said only people who came here an arbitrary amount of time ago do
how is that not irony?
You guys are retarded, nowadays LCD-TVs are really really bad for playing anything.
And even the best TFTs still have lag.
If I was in a fighting game tournament, I'd request a CRT too.
>>53575780
no i did not
>>53575803
except they're not
>hurr durr why doesn't everyone use a 2010++ car
>>53575872
LCD-TVs have 2 frames lag
TfTs have 1 frame lag
Deal with it, and get informed, pleb.
>>53575408
Input lag.
>>53575938
>every modern lcd tv is exactly like a shitty lcd tv I bought 10 years ago
this is what you sound like
>>53575461
>solved every single problem they used to have
Not even close. Most compromise one thing or another.
>>53575824
>>53575958
Except CS people use LCD's, not CRT, and they need really fast response time as well.
>>53576004
CS? Like, counter strike? A game that is on a PC platform natively?
Are you saying this when OP asked about an old console game that only have analogue output and lower resolution than moderm games?
>>53575997
yeah I always forget how CRTs weren't backlit and had accurate blacks
>>53576004
Gotta 360 noscope dat dank code, bro.
>>53576042
so now you're saying that response time issues come from those consoles using analog inputs
you're a fucking retard
>>53575567
>he fell for the CRT meme
>>53576083
No... He was talking about analogue outputs you dumb fuck, are you such a babby you've only used HDMI?
>>53575408
To play my PS2.
For some reason it looks better on CRT than on any of my monitors.
Also looks good on projectors.
>>53576043
I also remember when the cheapest one used to cost half of the desktop PC itself instead of equivalent of 2 RAM sticks. And I also remember when were heavier than desktop PCs and were pretty much life-hazard when broken.
>>53575880
>amc i6 just werks
>newer cars have too many computers
>>53576109
Are you a retard or just baiting? Using an analog output is absolutely unrelated to the response time of the monitor.
>>53575540
Bullshit, 480p vidya looks substantially worse on my Panasonic ZT60 than my Sony XBR960 HD CRT.
>>53576124
It looks better on CRTs and projectors because it fucks with the image. And most developers took advantage of it, so when you play it with component cable on modern TV, you actually see the real output. OR at least something very close to it.
>>53576176
so open the menu of your Panasonic ZT60 and tweak with the settings and quit being a retard

I got my tv for less than 4 pounds
Does its job.

Why are you people responding to a troll?
Is /g/ seriously about playing dumb, trolling and talking shit?
No good threads here, back to /b/...
>>53575426
How is CRT's bad latency? I have huge res and size 25inch computer CRT monitors collecting dust what have 80Hz refresh rate...
>>53575461
Even with all the tech in the LCD TV my Amiga 1200 looks like crap on a 32 inch LCD TV vs a CRT one.
>>53576461
>what have
Spics please leave.
Modern LCDs are shit at scaling low res shit like old consoles.
CRT has no native res so it's great with old consoles.
You could also run an emulator, but emulating isn't perfect though it's sometimes superior but other times inferior
>>53575522
>using a crt means using your computer wrong
Ha!
>>53576238
>oled
Have fun with colours degrading at different rates
>>53575408
I don't miss CRT's at all. I feel like they grind away my eyesight every second I look at them. LCD is nicer, I'm waiting for OLED to become its successor.
>>53576484
Honest typo, been up for like 30hrs
>>53576004
CS doesn't need anywhere near the low amount of input lag required for fighting games.
>>53576555
Why can't modern LCDs just upscale using nearest neighbor? I'll never understand
>>53576857
CS is/was for scrubs anyway.
>>53576478
>2016
>amiga
time to upgrade son kek
It's amazing how many steps backward we took moving away from CRTs for the sake of power efficiency and cheapness. We're only just now getting to the level where high end 120Hz low latency displays can compete relatively well with old CRTs.
Good shit, HBox.
>>53575408
>Armada is known for destroying shiek players longer than anyone else
>Plup chooses shiek
CRT has original resolution so there's no lag trying to upscale it like newer tv's.
>>53578830
I guess he just bet that his Sheik had a better chance than his Samus.
480p/I content - ESP retro games
Excellent blacks
Input lag
