It still works. You expect me to throw out a perfectly good T.V?

I'm hosting a game night for my co workers in a few weeks, and i kinda wanted to have a few tv's going so there would be some variation as to what guests could do. the main tv is an HDTV that'll have shit like smash and mario kart set up for. wanted an old crt hooked up for people to play light gun games in the other room like time crisis on ps2.

Not a TV, but I still use a CRT monitor for superior response times, better color, and just overall better picture quality when it comes to games.

>Huge & take up space you could use for other things

FOR WHAT PURPOSE? These things don't even accept component most of the time.
>>342280985
So I can have good picture quality like this?

One thing I will admit, you can buy a much larger HDTV for less than you paid for a old television.

Old video games.

Watching TV over a year on a CRT is = to eating 44 bananas (bananas are 1 rad)
You would get 1000% more radiation going for a trip in a plane due to the lack of atmosphere not shielding you from the radiation up there. Tube TVs were lines with lead inside the tube for this exact reason, so they don't leak any radiation.

I live in LA so every once in a while there's a sweet deal on craigslist for a PVM. I already have two 14" units and a 20" that cost me a grand total of 130 dollars. Honestly, they're neat but I still do most of my retro gaming on the kv27-fv310 I have in my garage. 27" dwarfs the 20" pvm.
>>342281537

This is why if I ever RGB mod my NES I'm going to have a dip switch installed so I can swap between composite & RGB. Some games legitimately look best in composite.
Because I keep my snes, n64, and gamecube hooked up on it. I like using the controllers of the original system, emulating doesn't do it for me.

If you have any console before the 360/ps3 this TV is the best way to play those consoles because they do analog signals which takes time to convert to digital on newer tvs, not only that on newer tvs the image is upscaled which looks like ass and introduced input lag.
My family bought an pretty big CRT TV (pic semi related. couldn't find exact model) when I was younger. I still use it to play pre-6th gen games, as the display looks A LOT better than with any HDTV and you don't have to deal with some annoying lag.
The main downside of these TVs is that they weight a shitton and take a lot of space.
>>342281759
I don't breathe air. It feels weird inhaling something made before you were born
My grandparents are millionaires and still use this as their main TV. Turns out not consuming like a retard can make you rich.
I don't know what to do with mine. It's in poor enough shape that nobody will want to buy it or take it. I can't just leave it outside, the garbage men won't take it.
>>342291632
Those arent CRT's, they are rear projection the difference is they have projectors inside them. I cant say if they are good or not but I find them to be pretty dim on the screen
Light Gun games
0 input lag
Native 240p and 480i
old games look like shit on big lcd tvs it's a fact
>>342280985
/vr/ would have a field day for this discussion
>>342280985
To play with old consoles.
Light gun games like Time Crisis and Point Blank and Area 51.
Games on old consoles look as they were meant to
Graphics look WAY better via component than via upscaling in HD (seriously, ever see a PS2 game on an HDTV, looks ass)
Grew up doing it, so feels right to me.
Better color representation
I still have my Sega CDX and SNES and I will play them on my CRT for as long as I can. So much better.
>>342292217
Oh, I just typed "big crt tv" on google and took the first image that looked like my TV. I did find the flat screen to be kind of wierd.
Anyway, mine's an actual CRT, it's big as fuck and the display is still awesome. Might take a picture of it and show it to /v/ whenever the next CTR thread pops up.
This is the only CRT that's worth your money.
Do not buy anything less.

They were the same resolution as tube televisions, mostly 480i or if you were lucky and had one that could do 480p. So, basically you just had a very blurry, rather dim, television that rarely aged well. They were that awkward in-between step between CRTs and LCDs and were worse than both.
There were some DLP HD televisions but, again, blurrier as projection and had horrible glowing issues. They died out for good reason. They were shit.

>>342293059
It's the only CRT that has 1000 horizontal lines, and having 16:9+flat screen is actually a good set up.
>>342293059
There were plenty of widescreen CRT monitors and televisions. The best were the Sony Trinitrons but they were ridiculously expensive. There's reason they're still used as monitors when producing movies and television though, they're fantastic quality.

>>342280985

Why the fuck does everyone keep saying this. The crack isn't ON the screen for crying out loud. I mean, if I put my finger ON the screen it doesn't just appear in the screenshot. The crack is IN the screen. Deep in the glass therefore it shows up when I take a screenshot as they capture everything in the screen.

>>342298484
Because the sound and button prompts would come up up at different times. Later games had better calibration options but the early ones were pretty much fucked.
>>342295095
480i, 480p is for HD CRTs which were released in the 2000s or you own a multiformat PVM or other photo/video production monitor

>>342280985
Sony Trinitrons were built like fucking brick shithouses. The parts inside of them you WILL NEVER SEE used again. Sturdy as a goddamn rock
>>342298820
You can also play PS3 games in 1080i on an HD CRT.
>>342280985
Retro games or older game consoles. Newer games anticipate the input delay, but older games do not and the difference in timing can break an experience.

Component supports 480p, although not a lot of games support it and it actually washes out the colours a bit. S-Video and RGB are best for 240p and 480i games.
>>342299138
Wrong. Component has better colors than S-Video and is equal to RGB.
>>342299261
Wrong, for some reason the PS2 washes out component video's colours. Video for proof.

>not being born to experience the rise of vidya
You're missing out.
For me there wasn't much made before I was born, some arcade games and Atari 2600. Atari 2600 just didn't make as much of a splash as the NES later did most of its games were worse quality arcade ports.
But the NES generation of console games were worth playing, and the SNES, and starting in the early 90's, PC games.
actually, I've always wondered PC gaming prior to Wolf 3D is like a dark age to me, I know almost nothing about it except text based games on BBS's. When people list their greatest games of all time shit there's always some NES games, and maybe some early arcade games, and PC games starting with Doom or Quake but I never see anything pre 1990 coming from PC on any lists.

If I'm not playing retro games then a CRT is just a waste of space since anything else looks like shit on them.
>>342300056
PS2 component is actually fucked up so it's no surprise.
PS2 RGB beats it out.
Is a CRT necessary to play PS2 games?
Long story short, if you don't own a CRT, you either:

or

What's stopping you from going to some thrift store or craigslist and getting a cheap CRT?
>>342295057
so why did you ask for a screenshot then? Should've asked for a photo
>>342303335
Because non hd content has to be upscaled and de-interlaced which makes the image quality drop considerably and adds input lag
>>342303335
the upscaling stretches and it looks horrible.
>>342303547
A new video card would be cheaper than a nice CRT.
>>342304465
Where do you live where CRTs are more expensive than a new video card?
