Arcade CRTs are better.
I'm getting a New Net City cabinet this month with a 29" tri-sync display.
Gonna put a Thinkpad W500 laptop inside it and run MAME/Emulators.
It also comes with a Naomi, so I might get a NetDIMM and a Rapberry Pi and boot some games off that. Would be neat to have a MVC2 or Ikaruga cab.

CRT is a much better technology than LCD.
1) Perfect black levels
2) Flawless off-axis viewing
3) Much faster refresh rate than LCD
4) Warmer, more natural image (thanks to scan lines and small granules)
5) Far longer life-span
6) Not subject to manufacture problems such as dead-pixels
7) Good range of compatibility with lower or non-standard resolutions without blurring
Given ultimate space and money the world's best CRT could easily crush the world's best LCD. So tell me /v/, why do you like your inferior screens that companies such as Samsung have brainwashed you to think is better than what already existed? The only cost-savings are on their end.
And the funny thing is you guys keep buying this crappy LCD technology and giving away your free CRTs on Craigslist. A fool and his dollar are soon parted I guess.
And before you start yapping about IPS panels:
Enjoy your slow G2G response to switch pixels already, not to mention that hidden input and scalar lag. Luckily, CRT has no such bullshit.
The only semi-legitimate point I've heard against CRTs regards weight, but you don't bitch about the weight of a prospective couch while furniture shopping, do you? Didn't think so.

this is due to analog input, not the crt technology itself
jesus christ kill yourself faggot
>muh response time
if you don't buy shit the response times are under the refresh rate of the screen, up to 144Hz. Even new ips panels can do that
>>343448743
as opposed to what? carpet is pretty standard flooring, hardwood is more common in warmer areas as it can be cold as fuck unless you dedicate energy to heat the flooring itself.

LCDs are cheaper to manufacture, and that's why the industry has pushed them. It's not for your benefit.

Standard definition dies out fairly recently. That said, there are CRTs that do 1080 & higher.
>>343450287
They produce scanlines, but you don't get any phosfers, so you won't get anything like composite blur or any other specific neat tricks.
Also, good like playing SP1 games or anything else that switches from 240p to 480P when switching menus. (RIP Chrono cross through a frame-meister)

>>343450707
Is that a Supaboy tucked behing your SNES? How is it?
>>343450910
Pretty sure that set accepts component, which you can use a SCART to component YUV transcoder to facilitate. I did the same thing with a Toshiba set before I went full retard with PVMs.
>>343450926
I access my service menu through a secret button promps on my PVM. Can you not do that on BVMs? I've heard ikegamis have the same trick, but I've never tested it.
>>343451024

Sorry, but emulation isn't perfect, maybe NES or SNES games are but DC,PS2 and the rest have so much graphical glitches and other minor problems that you are gimping your experience.
Of course most people don't realize this because they haven't played those games on those consoles.
Software mode in PS2 emu is mostly near perfect but what's the point if you don't have any advantage like higher resolution from the PC emulation.

All these poorfag nostalgia cucks still use CRT TVs. jesus christ.
I get it if you want to play your older games in their natural resolution and a TV so shitty it doesnt emphasize on how shitty the graphics truly are, but come on.

>I have boxes of parts and extra consoles because I'm not autistic
ooooookay. You know, there are personality and mental health deficits other than autism. I'm sorry your worldview has become so inscrutably narrowed by this place.

Yeah, and the one that makes me want to keep this parts stock is called my job, because part of my job is restoring older electronics.
Anything else you want to add that continues to make you look like a total autistic failure of a human?
Playing on actual hardware is good only for 5th generation and below.
Playing anything past the 6th Generation on actual hardware and TV is utter trash.
I can´t stand using my ps2 anymore thanks to Emulation internal resolution scaling.
Still , Actual hardware is better when it comes to control accurracy and response time.
o Perhaps specific titles that only play better on actual hardware.
I still believe PC gamepads have a delay in their inputs.

when did i ever say that owning objects to do a job was the same as collecting things? bizarre line of thought bro

>when did i ever say that owning objects to do a job was the same as collecting things?
My job and my hobby are the same thing. I do more out of my job than in it, but my job allows me opportunities to obtain parts I wouldn't otherwise get. Pinball machine and arcade cabinet parts are expensive, and I'm allowed to keep any parts I can see a use for.
I'm a console/handheld player. I was thinking of getting a monitor to play console games at my desk with since my TV looks like shit.
Should I get a 24inch 60hz monitor for console gaming and then use it on my gaming pc down the road?
I bought a Sanyo HD CRT from walmart as it was one of the last of their CRT tvs on the shelves before LCD became big.
All things considered, how good are they?
Granted Sanyo isn't high-end (especially not now since they're name-branded Funai chinese bullshit, but I'm talking back in the early-mid '00's), but it is HD.
Any input on this?

My fuckin nigga. Bought it in 2004. Makes GameCube and Wii games look amazing.

No, what he said has a name. It's when the inverse of something that's true is not true. Though he's talking in terms of the boards. At least I hope so.
>>343465009
guys?
>>343465009
Get 2 different displays
>>343467767
what do you mean, like one 60hz for console gaming now, then later buy a 120hz+
>>343468345
120hz is useless if you can't maintain near that framerate.
>>343468515
oh yeah youre right. so im going to get a 60hz 24inch for now for my consoles. i found a pretty decent one, I think.
And I guess i wouldnt be dumb getting it to use for a gaming PC i might get in the future?
>>343447873
Assault Suit Leynos. Nice.
>>343468678
If you're playing something old on it like roms it wouldn't be crazily retarded, but anything more advanced would be silly.
>>343468979
fiiiine, fuck it i guess i will get something over 60hz...
>>343445109
For old games I don't play anymore.
>>343468515
False.
It still improves the likelihood of a refresh occuring in better timing with the framerate.
High framerate is better of course, but a high refresh rate still improves overall latency when sub-120fps.
>don't like "retro spaces"
>don't like CRTs
And I am not entirely sure why either are so popular. That said, I have a nice, modern TV with pretty damn good latency when in gamemode, and I'm getting a framemister soon. Already got several JP21 cables for it and I kept all the consoles from my childhood in perfect, working order. I think I'll be happy with my setup when it is done.
>>343469283
But buying a 120hz display just to get sub 100 is just dumb.
That's the logic of it.
>>343469283
>>343469668
That's simple logic, but why buy a 120hz display if you can't maintain near that refresh rate, or even above 100.
What you want to do is buy a 120hz display with Freesync or Gsync which fixes everything, tearing is a moot point, fixes other issues, and you'll see refresh rates higher than 60 if your framerate goes that higher.
>>343468979
Ok I decided I will get a 60hz for console gaming and down the road a 120hz or more later.
Can I use them both for a dual monitor set up later?
>>343469810
>>343469668
Not advising him to buy it, it was just a factually incorrect statement.
If you are going to advise other people to do shit, at least get your facts straight instead of memeing a bunch of shit you saw on /v/.
/v/ is one of the most technologically retarded boards on 4chan, because people think they know shit when they don't.
>>343469880
If you use the 120hz for consoles you'll be forcing the same frames to be displayed multiple times since no console game is going to run above 60, and most will run at 30, which actually won't look right.
But IIRC 120hz tv's aren't actually capable of displaying 120 individual frames (even if the source content was that high), I think that concept is that it makes the motion smoother due to progressive scanning and related things.
>>343469880
Yes, assuming you can connect them and they display the resolutions you want.
>>343470364
ok so just use this 60hz for all my consoles, then when I get serious about spending a lot on a gaming pc then I buy a 120hz or 144hz monitor, yes?
>>343470842
120 makes more sense than 144, but keep in mind depending on the game you'll need serious hardware.
Research for the future and see if you want freesync or gsync.
If you want those instant CRT response times research UMLB/lightboost displays.
