yep true thts why the edtv is better has it has component and no lag the only thing is no hdmi but if your telling me you would plug a hdmi inside of it instead of oled then move it
This particular model is pretty great for playing anything from 360 era and up. Blue Rays looks amazing too. I have a similar model from Sony and it’s one of my favorite sets.
I happen to have the Sony Trinitron KD-34XBR970, which was the final CRT Tv Sony ever made. It has slight screen issues, but it’s not noticeable and on top of that I got mine free.
I recently bout an Orion vhs/dvd crt tv and a fully backwards compatible 60gb ps3 and let me tell u having the ability to watch vhs/dvd/BluRay/ps1/ps2/ps3 all in one is amazing!
The fact that you play a 4:3 game in stretched 16:9 shows that you know nothing about CRTs. This is just a normal consumer set from that era. It also known for having severe input lag. There is nothing holy grail about this lol. And you paid 200 usd for it!
This scalpe- i mean flipper cares so much about the retro gaming hobby that he's given his first party controllers to starving retro gamer children with super polio in Africa and left himself only with someone's little brother's controller😢can you say you're as passionate about the hobby and as caring for the community?
not modern gaming or even movies use a oled edtv for 6th gen since no lag and has compont pvm for 5th gen and below 7 th gen 1080i plasma and 8th and 9th gen oled
I could see one being used for modern gaming. I would if I had a CRT that could go to 1080i, but my best CRT is standard definition only so it just supports 240p & 480i. It is extremely sharp though
I know it’s been a while, but here are my tips: 1. Disable High Definition processing in the sub-menu 2. Buy Prism Component Cables 3. Scale signal to 540p with a Retrotink 5x, use the HDMI input only.
Well to be honest these are just cool to have but not really practical to use for retro gaming except PS2 but if you had to choose which HDCRT is the best is the 4/3 ones cause you can at least play consoles native res.
Yup and that tube goes out after about 10000 hours of use. You got ripped off. You'll go to turn it on and only 1/4 of the screen will be visible. If you let the tube warm up the image will stretch to the normal size. But eventually the tube will go out completely. The technology to run Interlace and pixle on the same tube, actually destroys the tube. Just letting you know.
My friend had one of these a few years ago. I did not know there existed 16:9 CRTs with HDMI input. We managed to play gzDoom on it for one evening before it quit working. I think it topped out at 1280x720, but Doom II looked absolutely beautiful on it with all the modern rendering features turned on.
That’s very subjective. Do you want an aperture grille? Get a Trinitron that supports 1080i. A slot mask? Try looking for a JVC branded CRT. The most TV lines for sharpness? Anything that’s broadcast related I guess but even that is hard to narrow down. I suggest looking through lists of models that support the resolutions that those consoles use & try to see if any of those models line up with what you’re looking for
I have orange versin of that controller, dont remember how i got it, but i do remember its terrible because it doesnt register consecutive inputs so something like Mario Party, mashing A is impossible to play
You are a smart kid !!! I am older gentleman. And I tell all these young retro collectors they need the right retro TVs to go with the right retro console. But they wont listen.. Modern TVs don't work correctly with a retro consoles and adapters don't do shit! They won't make the console video output in 4k or improve the connection. That TV you purchase was the first form of HD made for analog tv. You should be able to connect HD composite with a GameCube or Xbox OG. The first Analog HD only brighten up the few colors the TV had. But that TV made to have a much higher TV resolution. Thats why the N64 looks so good. But with GameCube or OG Xbox ìn HD may get 420p or higher. The most important thing that retro games software back then only made in 4:3 ratio and that analog TV made in 4:3 with wide-screen so it fits the picture perfect without stretching it. OMG! nice to know a younger gentleman out there knows what they are doing..
Ironic that you say this because this guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. This is a very cheap HD CRT set. This means that they are slower at processing any 240p or 480i signal than a normal CRT. Another thing that is wrong here is the aspect ratio. Mario kart double dash is a game designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost a square picture. HD CRT’s by default will stretch the image to 16:9 which is what you see in the video here. He could go into the menu & switch off that HD setting but he didn’t. One small nitpick is that controller as well. It was made by a third party company that made the cheapest of controllers ever period. I used one & it hurt my hands a lot. Just stick with a normal GameCube controller your hands will thank you. I don’t want this to come across as rude to you I just want to properly inform you where this guy went wrong
I see a lot of people saying that the PVM 20 or 15L5 are the holy grail, but I think they’re overrated. The inside parts are held up with brittle plastic which I see crack often. I like to use the BVM 20E1U but it’s a standard definition model & the menu is a little finicky sometimes so I see why some people don’t like it as much
Holy grail for anything made after 2000. These "HDTVs" interlace 240p (NES/SNES/N64/and anything that runs at that resolution) to 480i, like modern TVs so they look terrible. Natively 480i/480p content look great on these, but not really worth it for how much these weigh. Also $200 is expensive for these lmao
It just depends on the use case. I own one of these and they are awesome. The image is sharp for a crt. 480p, 720p, and even 1080p content looks amazing on this
Pokemon black & white 2 are games that are for the Nintendo DS. They’re Pokemon games meaning they can cost hundreds each. Make sure to not buy a fake one by checking online what a real game looks like
