It's 2015.
Is it still fashionable to buy Sony Super-fine Pitch Trinitron CRTs for gaming?
Pic related. Just found this in craigslist. Asking price is just 100 bux. The guy selling it said It has very low hours and was relegated to guest room(s) of the house
Also, word on the internets is that the Super-fine Pitch based Trinitrons gave 3-dimensional depth when watching content with it.
Not for $100
No, just get a monitor for HD. Only autistic smashfags use CRTs

but the black/white contrast is still shitty with TN monitors though.

This would be nice for 480p-1080i prehdmi gaming. Ps2 gamecube original xbox thats about it. Anything older is better played on a non hd crt. And anything newer is better with hdmi

I'm gonna check tomorrow if the guy is being truthful about very low hours with the service menu.
If the tube has less than 5000 hours it should still run circles around LED/LED tv's in quality (color, contrast) and lag time.

how about PS3/4 and XBOX one/360 ?
I'm sure when these consoles are paired with reference grade CRT the input lag times will still be superior.

As an autistic smash fag I can confirm this is true

Stick to hdmi on an lcd/plasma because you cant get 1080p 60fps on any consumer crt that i know of. And you get alot of input lag from scaling but if u have a 1080p tv there is no scaling so shouldnt be much if any lag.
Remember you can't really fix shitty convergence. If it's bleeding colors it's garbage.

1. ChadB can easily fix convergence
2. Not with SFP based Trinitrons

(final generation) CRTs are masters of depth

There are only two real acceptable reasons for a CRT:
1) You want to play old lightgun games
2) You are legitimately autistic and speedgame
