Best option is to find a CRT that takes both VGA and DVI input, because then you don't need a converter box if whatever you're using has HDMI out, just a cable dongle. DVI and HDMI carry the exact same signal, they just have different connectors. The only difference in the signal is that DVI doesn't carry any audio signal, but they make HDMI > DVI adapters that will break out the audio to either 3.5mm or RCA jacks.
Those Sony monitors are awsome, there are some in that model line that have composite, S-Video, BNC inputs that are able to process 480i, which would be useful for some consoles.
If you're stuck on a modern TV. I recommended using the app called Shader Glass. My main filters I use is consumer CRT, crtsim, and VHS. VHS is convincing giving you that glass reflecting look. There's a thousand filters in this app but those are the 3 main ones I use. Anything displayed on the screen will be emulated as fake screen. Meaning if you watched RU-vid with the VHS filter. It will look like a video from back in the day. Or you could run your old game consoles using a zero dely capture and OBS. Then apply the fake monitor you want from Shader Glass.
My CRT tv didn't cost me anything I found it at my dad's work place and I asked his boss if I can take it home and he said yes because that tv was just sitting in there and taking space and I also have second smaller CRT tv and that one I also got for free my neighbor gave it to me because they wanted to throw it out but remembered that I like old things so they gave it to me I am glad that I live in Czech republic where people don't know the true price of old electronic i also got my playstation 1 same way as my second tv got it from neighbor for free with box full of games (probably 90 games XD) as I say I am so lucky to live at Czech republic XD but I don't usually use those tvs for gaming I usually just watch you tube or movies and shows on it but I sometimes use the smaller to play games on it
Same here in Bulgaria. A friend's neighbour left a pretty well preserved 20" Panasonic in the hallway with a note that he'd throw it away in a few days if no one wanted it and my buddy snapped it up for me. The same buddy's wife then realised that her dad had two 20" CRTs (LG & Samsung) that he was also planning on throwing away, so now I have three 20" sets and don't even know what to do with all of them 😂
Run an emulator for an old console game on the PC. It's better a CRT TV for those consoles that have a lower resolution than 480i/p. Because the CRT monitor is way too sharp and you need the bigger phosphors and scanlines that a CRT TV has
esse é bom tambem, mas acho o preço muito caro (600) reais um lacrado, comprei um lg de 100 reais e tambem tem otima qualidade, e olha que nao é nem um flatron
I ended up with a few old deep dish computer monitors some years back when everybody was getting rid of them. Twenty dollars sounds like a crazy amount of money. I got most of mine for about two dollars each. I sorta wish I held onto more of them, I could cash in and have dozens of dollars to-day.
This is usually not possible with 31kHz monitors. In your case, the *render resolution* of the game was likely 320x240, but the actual analog signal coming from the computer was probably line-doubled to 480 lines.
I prefer CRTs. They're cheaper then OLEDs and can match almost every selling point that OLED has, with the exception of HDR (although, I'm pretty sure that there are some later CRTs that have HDR). CRTs also have better motion clarity, the likes of which black frame insertion could only hope to rival. There are some CRTs that can go up to 180hz, which, when combined with the superior motion clarity, dwarfs any 200hz+ OLED. If you have the space for one (and the means to move it), then CRTs are still better than OLED.
@@Olavo__14 Do you realize how gay you are for taking your time to comment that being that I wasn't talking to you and then you liked your own comment
I'm struggling to see how this converter is ruining my experience. Digital to analog conversion is usually pretty easy to pull off without losing any quality, and that appears to be the case here as well. I would agree with you if the device was any sort of $15 analog to digital device.
@@PuzzoMolto It's a part of making these kinds of videos, unfortunately. Someone will always come along and tell you why you're not actually having a good time.
They can actually be pretty great if you set it up properly. I run a PC into mine running Retroarch at 3840x240 CRT Super Resolution, with black frame insertion enabled. Since it's a PC CRT and you have to run it at 120Hz for lower resolutions like that, blanking out every other frame gives you true 60Hz motion clarity and a PVM-like experience. You get real 240p scan lines, true motion clarity and super sampled horizontal resolution. I recommend you try it some time. I've used PVM's and nice Trinitrons before and it certainly compares to that experience.
