1440P 120Hz! Overclocking my CRT Monitor 

Curved the other way

@@x256h *well its still a curved screen*

Ronaldo Ross me

@YDBoss youre dumb

gotta go fast

thats true bro, i have a lots of monitors in my house and one thay I test them all, and my old crt of 15 inch was the best looking, playing cs go at high level i can true the tell, this monitor has an incredible arquitecture, high quality picture and excellente fresh rates

I overclocked my laptop monitor to do 90hz. Its not uncommon even for LCD displays

rn i got a smooth 75hz

That Plotagon profile pic 👍🏻

We just never had cards that could render 4k at all to show the potential of crt in the early 2000’s

I remember laughing at lcd gamers back in the day. Lcds didn't match crt until never. Oled is the only comparable tech to crt.

​@@zapa47not even. They need to reach 1000hz to start simulating crt strobing. Atleast they'll be here in 2028. Not too far off

@@jwhi419 not even? my new 32inch ASUS PG32UCDM 4k 240hz QD-OLED will look better than any CRT ever did, would and likely will. CRT is good but OLED, especially QD-OLED (Samsung tech) or WOLED (LG tech) is insanely good. Its a lot better looking than any other tech atm. Micro LED (not Mini LED, not any current tech at least) could be the holy grail but its not existing yet in any purchasable form. So for the time being the panel in my monitor is the best monitor you can buy at the moment. There is a burn in risk with OLED (but CRTs also have a risk of burn in afaik), its still a possibility but ASUS gives 3 yr warranty and the amazing picture quality is worth the risk to me. so yes, 4k240hz QD-OLED isnt just comparable to CRT, its the superior looking tech, no CRT monitor on the market looks better. would be really cool tho to get the best possible CRT monitor, a newly built one with 4k res. If they could build a 4k 240hz CRT, I would gladly compare it my QD-OLED. But it isnt viable to make a 4k CRT. it would be to expensive to make, it would be big and heavy, as I previously said - it would probably also have a burn in risk (CRTs apparently have this risk just innately according to my searches), they have a lot of electromagnetic waves (and are also very sensitive to magnetic fields themselves), many could hear a type of coil whine, they use a fckton of power. Yes, they do have very fast response time (like OLED), but nowadays OLEDs are the way to go, you arent missing anything with a GOOD OLED screen.

@@zapa47 lol

If it has too high resolution it has inout delay

@@IAm-zo1bo Nope.

@@IAm-zo1bo there's no kind of buffer for that to happen, or anything really, pure analog tech, 4k 60hz? then you will get a 4k image every 16ms, want it sooner? crank the refreshrate up.

There is motion blur.... the phosphors don't directly go back to black. If its better then high-end LCDs is debatable nowadays

@@Purple__ motion blur on CRTs is better than most LCDs, and the best LCDs with motion blur-reduction techniques, ironically, have insane input lag caused by strobing backlight drives, BFI (black frame insertion) processing which can add a half a frame of lag or worse, and this is all cumulatively adding up. CRTs are the gold standard for motion blur, phosphor excitation and decay times happen in well below a millisecond. You can't say that about the black-to-black/grey-to-grey/fall-to-rise on any LCD, maybe OLEDs get closer but they still suffer from BFI-induced processing lag that CRTs simply do not have to worry about due to the nature of an electron scanning beam and phosphor-coated vacuum tube for drawing persistent images humans can make illusory motion out of.

@@chidubem826mirachad : Hi..

More like 2 years ... my 55' samsung 4k tv lasted exactly that long, broke 2 months after warranty ended ( purple spots all over the panel ) btw and that was already the second panel, my original one was pretty much broken the day i bought it .. clouding and dark spots, got it replaced 6 months after i had it

Are you joking? CRT get screen burn-in pretty easy and the brightness is terrible.

I've never had a flat screen last more then like 2 years with out breaking in some way

@@user-hr4hu8xb5f your wrong crts can be very bright and screen burn in isn't really that easy an example of a bright crt is an IBM 5151

@@ducksonplays4190 IBM 5151 is a low resolution single color display, you compare it with full color crt and other display tech? LOL.

we don't. not even close. you can't beat 0 input lag and 0 motion blur for FPS gaming. oled is the only thing that will even come close to rivaling CRT technology, and its not even as good.

@@BradTate there is some input lag even on a CRT, but it's analog and effectivity less than 1 frame. A digital signal could as render within 1 frame as long as no buffering of the data stream takes place. I'm not sure if such a protocol exists though.

@@BradTate also, good OLED or LCD should have no motion blur than a CRT now since they have no phosphors that retain an image.

LCD is shlty.

@@BradTate facking true.

I still use crt 160160hz. Lcd waste of money.

Probably because you didn't disable vsync

@@ChineseNinjaWarrior wtf

LCDs have an underappreciated problem. The illumination on an LCD is constant where as a CRT briefly illuminates very brightly for a few tens of microseconds when the beam scans a pixel (effectively it's like a rolling shutter scanning across the screen). If your eye is tracking an enemy that moves across your screen side to side in 1 second (which is not that fast, see e.g. an arena shooter like quake III or UT) on a 1920x1080 monitor at 60 Hz this means that your eyes move 32 pixels in a frame in a continuous motion. The image however moves in discrete steps of 32 pixels per frame. This mismatch between continuous analog motion and the discrete, discontinuous motion of the picture on the screen smears the image as your eyes scan across those 32 pixels smoothly. The effect is as if you had a 32 pixel "linear blur" filter in photoshop and it looks clear as mud. If you have a CRT however, the image briefly flashes in less time than it takes your eye to move 1 pixel; the after image on your retina is stationary, but your eyes are moving, giving no persistence blur at all and the illusion of smoother movement than the screen is capable of actually displaying. Flashing the image briefly (BFI etc.) is very helpful as long as it is occurring faster than the flicker fusion frequency, around 75-85 Hz for most people, so that the screen doesn't flicker noticeably.

CRT better due to zero motion blur. 🤗

crts are amazing but oled is amazing as well

Whats the model number so I can look up specs. I'm only aware of an iiayma exceeding 200hz.

ive actually had a delock 87685 in my hand for awhile, been wanting to make a followup video

@@laserfights Looks like 87685 is also lower frequency From the Delock site "VGA resolution up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz" - though it looks better than the usual HDMI VGA adapters that only go up to 1920x1080@60Hz. It's probably 200MHz compared to the usual 165. So you may have the same problem at higher resolutions or refresh rates, at least according to official specs. Maybe the device can actually work at higher frequencies than the specs say though.

@@Pentium100MHz i was under the impression that the 87685 is comparable to the DPU3000. Though, I have only heard that on r/crtgaming, I do not have the DPU3000 in hand to test.

@@laserfights The specs for DPU3000 do not explicitly say what's the maximum pixel clock for VGA, however, apparently it supports "max 2560x1600piex@60Hz each monitor." for "DisplayPort1.2 MST source: (multi video/audio steams)" which would be about 350MHz. I don't know if it's possible to have the MST source for a single monitor, but maybe.

lol, blow up? I'd like to see that

totally agree, hopefully OLED starts to get close

Could also give you radiation poisoning, if there wasn't lead infused into the glass on the front!

@@JinnaiT That is untrue mate, crts emit only xrays and not radioactive radiation like alpha- beta- and gammarays. Still ionizing radiation though, but radioactive poisoning ist not even remotely possible, lead infused or not (you can't get poisoned by xrays, they don't emit particles except photons) Also only > 1% of total radiation are xrays which most of radiate in opposite direction of the viewers position (better not stand behind it in case of more "ancient" models). More modern TCO standards also made it completely safe to use certified crts...

Unless you spill liquid uranium on your crt and lick it up, then you can get radioactive poisoning from your crt haha... but better don't do it ;)

@@MrRobsn89 photons ARE gamma rays, just the ones in this case are fairly low energy. also, non-radioactive radiation is an oxymoron.

@@sentheaS It can be, but it isn't like photons = gamma rays. We have radio waves and microwaves, infrared and (ultraviolet) light, X-rays and gamma rays. All of them are made up of photons.

:(

I'd shit myself 😂😂 Sorry to hear that :-(

Interlaced is better on CRT TVs and Monitors.

@@Miawzhies right, I think it's like the analog equivalent of doubling resolution or refresh rate without changing the bitrate...

I really hope this is a troll comment because nothing you said is correct.

@@WhoTnT I thought CRTs were volatile when too much voltage was applied. There was a guy who did a lot of overclocking videos. He did a few involving CRTs, but I found him for his video involving a washing machine. The overclocking it's self didn't break it, but he threw a brick into it, and it began tearing its self apart. The CRT video featured a TV getting more and more voltage until eventually the screen stopped working with a loud bang. Perhaps he put some kind of explosive in it, but this was from a long time ago.

@@WhoTnTit’s not a crt screen is basically a vacuum tube

@@beanmchocolate3900 Overclocking is different from Overvolting.

So j wrote this comment with Zero Knowledge?? Source: trust me bro

cool bro. just wanted some1 to counter argue you but no1 did.😥

@@AugustoV8Cesar lmaooo

Does that really matter with CRT? (I don't know, I haven't used a CRT for PC gaming ever)

@@muizzsiddique Yes it does, its less important on CRTs but a progressive image will be more clean when the image is moving even on a CRT.

@@rodrigofilho1996 Oh okay. Thanks.

what you mean? how is it better

@@AugustoV8Cesar Interlaced is actually half the refresh rate of progressive.

ill look into it thanks

Wow I had no idea, I'm going to have to do some testing. Thanks!

@@laserfights Hey np, here's a great guide to using CRTs that someone made and posted here it helped me learn a lot about mine linustechtips.com/main/topic/1050162-navs-complete-crt-guide/

@@laserfights Also I've been looking for more content about modern gaming on CRTs, most people that are into these monitors are mostly into retro gaming. I've already posted a couple short benchmark videos on my channel just to get some more stuff out there, but I was thinking you should also focus more on CRTs and Modern games I think people would really enjoy that kind of content (I know I do) and it helps spread the word about how good a nice CRT really can be. It's a really unique experience.

@@TripleMoonPanda I would absolutely be interested in posting more crt content. If you have any suggestions or even places/guides/etc for more information I would greatly appreciate it.

@@laserfights Well Digital foundrys videos on the subject are a great place to start, but you might've already seen that. I'm in this facebook group call the CRT collective and there are a lot of great people who love CRT monitors and TVs also there's the CRTGaming subreddit. That's most of the best places I know to go for information. I'm going to start trying to post some more videos actually on the subject I just don't know where to start, I'm still learning about all this stuff also. But if you have some simple questions just throw them my way and I'll do my best to help out.

:(

The worst part is many of those pages were not even saved to the wayback machine so they really are gone, I had one saved in my bookmarks for my Compaq 21" CRT many years ago, and now I wanted to check the specs again and boom it's gone, no trace of it not even in the archive's wayback machine, the manuals are gone too, it reaaaally sucks.

The people at Digital Foundry use a USB-C to VGA adapter to connect their C.R.T. computer monitor to a RTX 2080 ti. Do you know if USB C to VGA connectors to VGA suffer from this green screen coloring, due to a lack of bandwidth? How does DVI-I/DVI-A to VGA compare to USB-C, lagwise? One is analog to analog, one is digital to analog.

@@badreality2 yes at a certain point they can, but usually they'll just cut out which an hdmi to vga will as well if you go too far above the bandwidth capability. Dvi-i to vga is lagless because it's analog to analog. The pins for vga are on the header of dvi-i so it's not even a conversion, simply a cable adapter. With digital to analog transcoding(no scaling, just signal conversion which is what these devices do) added lag is under 1ms, so subjectively zero.

Isn't the sunix dpu3000 pretty expensive?

@@copper4eva Unfortunately because it went out of stock a few months back yes it is rare and expensive. A good price would be 60-80 usd, which is what it cost originally but now that it's hard to find I've seen ridiculous prices. There may be rebrands of it with the same chip floating around the net somewhere.

@@displaytalk That original price is very fair. Too bad I suppose that it's now being sold higher. I think people should just get cheap analog graphics card and run it along with their modern card (as I mentioned in other comments). Just a cheap and for sure way to hook up a CRT.

watching on my Trinitron MultiscanG400

I'll look into that. I also have a better hdmi adapter now

Is that a Nvidia only thing or will it work with AMD too? I couldn't find any info online about it.

@@webb4158 Funny you should ask, on the crtgaming reddit somebody said in the comments that they had done it with AMD graphics cards. So, if he is to be believed, then yes, you can. It really works rather well, if you have a desktop that can support it obviously. You might have trouble getting the OS you use to figure out that you have two GPU's, but once you do, then you're good.

Бро, спасибо за совет, надо самому попробовать. Спасибо ещё раз и удачи =)

@Big Smoke I have a 5 monitor setup with a 960 GTX and 1060 GTX. So multiple monitors are fine. Only one analog out though sadly. I guess you'll have to look at older cards, which might have multiple analog outputs, but I'm not sure.

@@copper4eva how do you do that

@@_quixote OMG, is that hurting your eyes?? 😱

@@zsombor_99 I love u

it’s both beautiful and very sad. My OLED with black frame insertion is nice but still not quite a CRT. I should maybe do a comparison between them actually. Do you know of any good tests that would be interesting, other than UFO?

@@laserfights I'm still kind of new to this myself, so UFO test is the only one I know of lol

Hello me from the past

oh that’s unfortunate, I’ve been daily driving an OLED for awhile now. Are you prone to headaches or what’s happening? i haven’t even really considered the flickering but I also don’t really hear CRT whine and people comment about it a lot haha

@@laserfights Yes man, sometimes i have headaches when i use CRTs mostly by the result of the flickering, i love CRTs but I guess I'm not used to them anymore, see I grew up with these monitors and used them on a daily basis until 2007.. Now i can't stand looking to the screen for much time because it hurts my yes badly and it feels hard on the eyes... even at high refresh rate, I love CRT motion clarity but i feel that's not a big deal to me anymore since modern LED displays are doing very well when you look for motion clarity and response time. When I want to revisit old games that fit better on CRT I use Scanlines and Dithering to emulate a CRT and i'm starting to enjoy more than playing on a native CRT for some reasons... I still have 3 of those big boys here but i never hook them up anymore...

i’ll have to add it to my list. thanks!

ill have you know this actually weighs 59.52 lbs

160hz progressive?

Imo that's stupid cuz 60hz is enough for a phone and i would rather not make the oled quality worse

@@IAm-zo1bo im not using 82hz anymore of course, it was just a test, 82hz is definitely good and noticable but the side effects are too big. It seems oled has problems with green tint and black crush at higher frequencies, even the on the one plus 8 pro 1080p 120hz oled screen, there have been some reports of green tint. Very interestinf to me why this happens, looks like some panels get this green tint when oced and some dont and that one plus had to 'bin' panels for their flagship phone.

@@IAm-zo1bo "60hz enough for phone" yes for u it might be but not everyone is like u, some of us know arent ignorant and do notice the sample and hold blur.

@@IAm-zo1bo they make higher refresh rate phones for a reason... 90Hz is becoming the new standard for touch devices

how are you overclocking your phone display?

Glad you enjoyed it!

not on windows 10 but it won't make a difference anyways

Well, essentially approaching the speed of light, limited by the mass of an electron. There were this unreleased piece of technology that essentially had multiple electron guns shooting at the anodes, given proper cooling and modern nanotechnology, likely would exceed all needs of a gamer. Could mod an old CRT, attach a peltier device to the cathode (or come up with a cooling system to keep all of it cool) and hack through some of these OEM failsafes to get 500Hz out of it. But yeah, they're kinda right about frames per second given it's linear rendering.

hopefully OLEDs are going in that direction. My LG C1 does black frame insertion which can bring help with motion clarity, but the C2 doesnt even have the feature so idk what they are doing.

thank you. i do not have any samsung crt monitors but you should be able to push most crt monitors at least some.

@@laserfights Thank you man!
