Why is Sony so based?
Mods have been faggots lately. I have a 27" Panasonic CRT tv I got a few years ago that I player older consoles on, it's got component, composite, and s-video.
I'll even play my ps3 on it sometimes.
Whenever I get a proper job and save up some money I want to try and find a non-HD widescreen CRT.

CRTs are full of lead and emit radiation, nobody wants to deal with that anymore when consumers will buy shitty LCDs for just as much.
So what's a good crt monitor for my computer, amnd how much does it cost?

There was a time when your meme CRT screens were better than the early flat monitors but those days are long gone. Stop being fucking stupid and move on.
>>336023170
It is was a bigger jump from quality than I was expecting from just using composite before, colors and text look a lot better. I also forgot to mention I got it for free from a local pawn shop because they just wanted to get rid of the thing for space.
Aside from a widescreen 480I CRT It would be nice to find an HD CRT tv that doesn't have HDMI or any post processing of the image, a few of them do exist I just can't remember the models. Being able to get a non digitally post processed and input lag free 1080i through component would make it great for ps3, 360, ps4, and watching bluray rips on.

Seriously
These sceens are so good for older systems i love it.
>>336024059
They licensed the tech out to other companies, FYI.
>>336023750
They have better contrast and colors than any other display technology, but in most cases are limited to 480i resolution, the other huge benefit for gaming is that they have practically zero input latency which is great for games that require precision and timing. This is why there are still some fighting game tournaments where they use CRT's instead of LCD's.

Youre fucking retarded for ever using a crt as your main tv/hd gaming source dumbasd
>>336025075
Ok I looked at the second link that came up and lets see. .
As a photographer you should certainly look for an IPS panel monitor as Rob suggested. They offer probably the best color presentation. At best one that offers hardware calibration but those can be very expensive.
Oh snap an IPS monitor? that sure doesn't sound like a crt to me.
I got this 19" multisync in 2000 or so when my dad bought me an alienware system for christmas as my first gaming PC.
The black levels were always really low but otherwise I didn't see any LCDs that matched it until I upgraded around 2010 to a current asus

There is literally no point to CRT's even existing and thats why they havent for over 10 years.
This thread is a meme and thats fine but if you want to present your nostalgia for the WORST display tech as such go ahead, but dont claim the technology is anything but shit because it will never be anything but.
The color reproduction and other issues are too stupid to overcome.

Literally CRTled the lcd
all the downsides of CRT with none of the upsides of LCD
gaming s-ips screens do very well for themselves but yes response times are still 6ms
>>336025390
damn how fat are you?
>>336025571
Not him, but I think 10-15ms is the lowest you can get in LCD monitors, and having that on top of 120hz makes it nearly CRT levels of input lag and the perception of lag.
I'm not talking about Response Time, that measure is pure bullshit, it measures the time it takes a pixel to change color, not the time it takes for the screen to show a change when an input is pressed
>>336024628
The thing is, the original thread wasn't really /vr/ related, it was more about why there aren't anyone willing to make "professional" CRT monitors for the hardcore gamer.
I mean come on, you're not going to play quake on an LCD. They even play brood war on crts in korea
>>336025852
to be quite honest i put my fairly new cheapass tv through alot of emu's and gaming sessions and it looks just as good if not better, i find because of the size and my stupid room setup i need to sit further back.
The only reason to have a CRT is to play older games with non-shit picture. There are upscalers that get a good picture on modern displays but those cost an upwards of $300. A good modern LCD will have minimal input lag on a digital source. The lag and awful color arises when you try to use a analogue source on one of these displays, you're stuck with the cheap shitty upscaler built into your display.
>>336025857
I really don't even get what you are getting at there.
Response times aside - IPS cant do fucking blacks at all.
The only good thing about crts is they weren't made to die about 2 years after warranty expires. I'm 24 and the one I have is older than me, I still use it.
>>336025860
>>336025737
Yeah I used to do that. Not fat though, I was obsessed with fitness then, I was actually struggling to gain mass. IIRC I was around 75kg and 195cm

>>336026332
>response time =/= input latency
Like I said, there is a reason they use that meme measurement instead of listing the actual input lag. I bet that monitor is decent, but I also bet it has 10-20ms of actual input lag just like the majority of the other modern gaming monitors.

>>336026560
You emulate on an LCD with a CRT filter. Going through shitty conversions defeats the purpose of using a CRT

This is the same dude right?
Some fag who started gaming in 2010 I assume
Why do you guys use LCDs? CRTs outperform LCDs in every comparison, For example:
CRTs Can do unlimited resolutions, while LCDs Have extremely limited(sometimes even going as low as 800 x 600 as it's max!)
CRTs have response times the speed of light, which means no ghosting, or getting used to it while trying to play games!
CRTs have true color and good contrast ratios. While LCDs have extremely limited color and poor contrast ratios, if you look at the black on an LCD and then on a CRT, there is no comparison, CRT wins.
CRTs are more durable, if you drop one, The monitor lives on. Whilst if you drop an LCD, it's completely ruined.
CRTs don't have input lag.
CRTs do correct upscaling
CRTs don't get deadpixels and unfixable driver IC issues. whereas most LCDs you buy within the first year will have a dead pixel, if not already having one out of the box.
CRTs come in widescreen: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=widescreen+crt&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq
=&gs_rfai=CdsWImWx3TJy0GJXggwTji5TPDwAAAKoEBU_QDx_y&fp=9c2c65350d4186d5
True that CRTs consume more power, but it's well worth the extra ~$0.50 a month to use them.
The only reason CRTs are no longer sold by companies is because it is no longer profitable to sell them, due to the uninformed public only buying LCDs thinking they're better in every way.
CRTs have better text(xp, vista, and 7 come with a feature to make text more legible on LCDs)
sure, LCDs get the job done, but why would you want to use them? They're the PC of the monitor world, Shitty build quality, Fragile, and Don't do the job as well as their counterparts.
why do you guys pay so much for an LCD? it makes so much more sense to want a CRT.
Would PS2 games look better on a CRT? I've noticed the graphics can look pretty jagged on an LCD tv

>>336027456

Why not just OLED?
>>336027456
Any console that can't consistently output 480p (PS2 almost only supports 480i) will look better on a standard definition CRT. Emulators, however, will look better on LCD.
>>336027604
Seeing a GC hooked up to a 16:9 monitor seems so wrong for some reason.
what kind of cable do you use
>>336027687
Do they come with high quality scaling for 240p/480i content?
Do people argue this much about something as simple as old TVs? Obviously newer sets have advantages over CRTs, especially in terms of not weighing so much and being easier to transport. But pre-HD consoles look fantastic on them.
I used my grandfather's Trinitron from '94 from time to time. Played THUG, Yakuza 1, Haunting Ground, and Silent Hill 2 along with some PS1 and Gamecube titles on it not too long ago. Looked great and was super nostalgic. I see Trinitron FDs being thrown away all the time, I'd take em home if they weren't so fucking heavy.
>>336027456

>Also are lightgun games functional on them?
They won't work on them.
>>336028186
I really don't see what that has to do with my question.
>>336028126
no and no.
it maybe hard to understand now, but 2000's era crt hdtvs were used as a cheap form of hdtv; much like lcd and plasma they generally use a digital scaler that fucks shit up
>>336028296
If you hummed Green Hill Zone right now, would it be 17% slower than if I did it?
>>336028126
One flat HD CRT I saw went around for $2,400?
>>336028531
>>336028531
I suppose that depends on what the tune was timed against, refresh rate or timer
>>336028018
It is though. Anything at HD resolution, use an HDTV tv. Lower resolution stuff, like 6th Gen and below, CRTs are a better bet. I'd say the only not simple thing is the whole rabbit hole of RGB setups and scanline adjustment and what have you. But that's mainly for enthusiasts. For the average person, the best thing is having an HD set-up along with a CRT with your old consoles in your basement or something. Not everyone has the luxury of space, so emulation and ports are another option for older games.
I currently have a raspberry pie 2 and an old Panasonic crt tv. Is this an ideal emulator set up?

Since we're on the subject of CRTs and old tech, I'd just like to add that in the future, readers of Gibson's Neuromancer will get the completely wrong idea from the first line of the novel.

New movies lack grit, that's the main problem. Dunno if it's just an illusion because everything is in high definition, but everything is so ultra clean and sterile.
Then you have CGI abominations like the star wars prequels
>>336032550
or static
>>336032550
he's probably referring to snow, instead of plain black. That mix of slightly blueish (CRT) ever-shifting grey with a complete lack of form or structure, that you just can't get a visual hold on. You could say it's hard to describe, which is why Gibson used that tech-related simile to begin with. Everyone knew exactly what it looked like, and got the right idea, even if it's hard to describe in cold hard technical terms.
>>336032591
And I'm not saying all movies are bad, there are plenty of movies that are gritty and dark. I really liked The Reverent for it's cinematography. Capeshit is an asbolute cancer though
>>336032735
ok, static is a much better word. Yes, that is what Gibson referred to.
Anybody else happen to know that screen as "war of ants"?
>>336032735
yeah, that's not a color.

I only wish this thing could render 480p, then it would be GOLD.I actually had to retake a good pic of it, since the only other one I have has me in thigh-high socks. T-t-thanks /g/

>dead channels are blue
What are you smoking?
>>336032298
Hello /v/
>>336033053
That's a very nice CRT. Just get a PC monitor for 480p stuff.
>>336033141
on many modern TVs they are indeed blue. That's precisely the thing I meant to point out.
Readers of the day will immediately understand it as static. Depending on the TVs modern readers are around, they will associate dead channels with clear blue, or don't understand the idea of a dead channel
>>336033023
maybe that's why. guy sounds like a shitty writer. could've just said "it looked like......" instead of color.
>>336033053
I need to get a 240p test suite set up so I can actually configure it... geometry is slightly off. But here, (barely) visible scanlines. I need a better camera.
>>336033053
What's the point of component, especially two, if it can't do 480p?
>>336032298
people in the future won't read anyway. no problem.

Why normies liked that shit movie made by a spic so much?
>>336033335
you're the only person I ever met that had a problem understanding that line. You're also on 4chan, which means you're trying to be technically correct to one-up someone. Troll or retard? Neither option makes you look good.
>>336033184
That's what I've been thinking...
... unless I can get my hands on one of those 300 pound behemoth 40" 4:3 Hi-Scan XBR800s. That would be a dream and a nightmare.

RGB level video clarity.
>>336033452
People wanting to seem artsy, a good chunk of the customers were bored by it.
>>336033443
Higher picture quality than composite or S-video. The picture quality of component is nearly identical to RGB, save for some luminance differences (which can be adjusted out anyway). So it's a poor man's alternative to RGB, especially if you can get a SCART to YPbPr converter.

Fucking gorgeous, man.
>>336034070
Damn. Is that the case with all CRTs that have a higher number of lines than 480i? I'd really love to get a larger display for 480p games than a monitor, but if it comes down to it I guess I could just buckle down and find one. How does the digital processing look?

why was Sony wasting even a single cent on custom design for debug units? They can't spare a couple nickels for BC, but pull this nonsense?
>>336034179
that is so unfair, I wish my ps2 still in the closet was region free

It's just different BIOS man.
>>336034497
Modchips are dirt cheap and soldering is a useful skill to have.
Been scanning craigslist for about a week now looking for a CRT. I haven't learned much.
What would you all recommend for a CRT? Mostly just looking to play gamecube/N64 on it socially. Anything i should know while looking around?
>>336034497
>my ps2 still in the closet

I never liked the idea of hardware modding because I don't have the skills
Software modding is no problem for me tho
>>336034549
Now youre just imagining things.
>>336034602
Get one with S-video, outside of modification/ungodly expensive component cables that's the best video quality you can get out of those consoles. They even use the exact same cables.
>>336034549
That's not where the cable goes. Might have to adjust levels on the image to see it
>>336034343
>all CRTs that have a higher number of lines than 480i
Only consumer televisions. Monitors do not do any processing because they're multisync.
>>336034716
Neat, thanks anon.
>>336034582
>It's just different BIOS man.
It clearly has TEST lettering on the top. In PS2 font. Especially for low volume, like debugging units, such a customization is gonna cost
My CRT is on its death bed. It's at that stage where it needs to warm up before the colors are normal again.
>>336034602
Region? If NA:

Any of these that AREN'T "high scan" or "super fine pitch" are good for older games. Just find one with the inputs and size you want.
>>336034549
>>336034001
Japanese controllers seem to have shorter cable lengths than American controllers.
My American SNES controller has a cable length roughly twice that of the Japanese SFC controller, and they're both authentic Mitsumi-made controllers.
Wonder why?
>>336035123
otakus sit on the floor in front of their tv, amerifats sit on the sofa half a mile away from it
>>336035123
Japanese tend to have smaller rooms.
America got NICE BIG AMERICAN ROOMS
Thats what id guess.
>>336024813
>low doses of non-ionizing radiation gives you cancer
>>336035123
>>336035123
Maybe because they sat on the floor close to the tv? You know in that anime or that opening of gamecenter cx episodes, those jap kids sit like right next to the console and tv
>>336034797
What do you think is the largest I'll find as far as multisync-compatible CRTs go?
regardless of what anyone says
CRT's have lower "resolution"
awful colors
scanning <---fuck this in particular
I think the only reason to play on a CRT is to play older games.
>>336035123
thanks for the info!
>>336035027
Im going about as old as an N64 so not super duper old. Still suggest anything not high scan and super fine pitch?
Thanks anon.

lol, better text? you retarded m8? text looks so blurry.
more durable? do you even science? CRTs weigh so much the momentum is greater than that of an LCD/LED, so the chances of damage are actually higher.
