kinda funny, i threw out my last :LCD in 2009, now when ever i fix any up i just shoot em for fun as i do not feel LCD's have an acceptable picture from color reproduction to the crustal delay to the viewing angle black level, list goes on, also there super fragile. you throw an LCD once its dead, i have thrown my P1110 hard enough to rip VGA cable in half and its still going string running at 2048x1536. i cant even go back to 1080p cuz i have been at this res since 2011.

I've been hunting some high-res CRTs to revamp my setup. A 4:3 would be fine for my left side monitor, but I still need 16:9 or 16:10 for my main 2 screens. So far the FW900 seems to be the perfect model for my needs, but I only even know of 2 widescreen models in the first place, hah.
@RockeyDAproductions
@RockeyDAproductions 7 лет назад
also if you have a wel built CRT thats low hour and had a prober setup, mainly convergence and focus you should have a sharp and well defined picture from tv to monitor not including non trintrons or trinitron clones. i have seen some 90's and 80's crt's provide scan lines and have enough detailes to see every grain of composite artifacting. low hour Panasonic and Toshibas are likely to provide this kind of picture, we already know the trinitron is tryed and true.

and i know i keep comenting but if your having vertical deflection problems and your not sure what to do just try and replace the electrolytics on the vertical circuit. black plastic crap tv's are often made in china instead of USA or JAPAN and there electrolytics are cheep explode and drift crap caps.

an FW900 would be nice but i have yet to find one for free. i tend not to buy things, i prefer to get something broken and fix it up, its a learning experience and its about all i can afford to do. an FW900 has been a wet dream of mine for quite some time, only thing i would not like is the widescreen ratio. i like my high vertical resolution. my main setup has a p1110 and a p1130.

Welllll...... LCD backlights die, my LG 32" one after about 2~3 years suddenly went black out of the blue. WHOEVER: on the exact same day (not kidding), I found the issue (one dead LED), found locally a part that I could use, fixed it, and it's back to work. Going on now for another 2~3 years or so. Plasma screens die by burning out/degrading with usage, CRTs actually do too, but way less prone to it than Plasma and OLED (OLED being possibly the worst out of them). CRT projectors were a big thing (literally as well) back in the 90s and early 2000s, and would be way more susceptible to burn in, having to replace tubes on them. Back to CRT TVs tho, seen some last decades indeed, and another Zenith 90s CRT that started to have serious color reproduction, focus AND convergence issues in less than 10 years, straight to trash. Our Philips 1080p LCD still going strong after at least some good 10 years too ~knocks wood~

I used to have a 2004 Sanyo CRT TV (can't find the model anymore) and it was great. I loved that TV so much because of the speakers (if you put the bass setting to the max, the ground literally vibrates), the big screen, and, of course, the fun built in submarine game that you were able to play with the remote. Sadly, my parents replaced it with an LCD TV and there was really nothing I was able to do to prevent this. *RIP* SANYO CRT TV 2004-2014

About 4 years ago, I found a Samsung HD CRT at a Salvation Army. I picked it up because it had HDMI inputs and such and I was still using an old CRT since I could not afford to get a newer TV. After messing with the service menu to enable the native 16:9 on it and fixing some geometry issues, it has actually been one of the best HD TV experiences I have had. I can watch my Blu-Rays in 1080i with as good of a picture quality or better for a 27in TV. Since it has almost every input out there and supports every resolution up to 1080i, I can play any video game system. Everyone says I need to upgrade to a better TV but when I can still play an NES(yes duckhunt worked) and swap to an Xbox or PS4 at the click of button, it makes it one of the best buys I have ever made.

I am seriously thinking of buying a 22 inch CRT tv to watch horror movies on. I owned one for many years. Actually I used a 22 inch CRT flatscreen sony till 2011. The colors were awesome compared to LCDs o the time. It got broke and I never bought one again. Power is a big issue but I will not use it all the time. Now I might buy a flat screen TV. I have an offer for 60 dollars. The owner is actually using it and does not want to part with it for cheap but the colors are awesome and there is very little moire or distortion. Just need a way to hook up windows 7,8 or 10 to it. I will need a VGA card with a composite output or a converter. What is the best scheme to convert the output of a modern graphics card (HDMI, DVi-D, DP, VGA) to a CRT TV.

I think everyone should find an old 240p TV in 2017. You can buy a Raspberry Pi 3 and install Retropie on it, making it a perfect emulation machine. It works well with modern TVs through the HDMI port, but it also has a composite output in the 3.5mm jack port, and was recently updated to do proper 240p through it for that old school scanline gameplay
@221b
@221b 6 лет назад
Be careful about the cable you get to convert its 3.5mm port to RCA connectors, though. Many of them have their ground pin in a different place than what the Pi uses. I had to go to a few computer/electronics stores with a multimeter in hand before I found one that would work with my Pi.

But OLED does not have the retro look... In fact it's even more futuristic than LCD so why would a retro gamer want that!??. OLEDs have that extremely clean look that you wish that you could use it for browsing the web and doing PC things but sadly it cannot display still pictures for a very long time so because of that LCDs are still the most popular display tech and we are probably never going beyond it, LCD is simply immune to screen burns and this is a HUUUGE advantage over other technologies, you can use it as much as you want that it will not burn (the backlight can burn but the screen does not and backlight is easy to replace).

I'm not sure what it is about CRT televisions that bring me such joy, but i think it's mostly due to their nostalgia and simplicity. The times of coming home from school, and Playing my PS2 on a Big CRT was the best feeling in the world! Luckily, i have a decent sized BrokSonic CRT that my grandmother gave me years ago. And even in 2022, i have the ability to use it as the main TV in my living room, since our network provider for Satellite TV put a coax cable that you have to screw into the back of the television. It's rather inconvenient I'll admit for modern era viewing, but the picture and sound still holds up, and i use it for my PS2, SNES, and those long nights when I'm binge playing some of my Ps1 collection.

Non-flat Trinitrons are great. They are the perfect match with the Playstation (a.k.a. PSX or PSOne) and looks great with any 5th gen and earlier console games. Bubble screens are also great. I love the look of them when playing certain games (otherwise I couldn't care less whether it's a bubble Sharp/Panny/etc. or a cylindrical Trinitron as long as the picture is great). The only bubble screen I know with component input is the JVC D-series. If you want the best picture quality out of 240p in North America without having to do RGB modding, then an emulator over component is the best choice. But personally I find composite and S-video to do just fine, let alone the overpriced PVMs/BVMs.

Took forever, 0/10 don't wanna do it again. I do still have a sony crt computer+monitor from 1998 I think still that works and I still have my old bedroom crt tv thats a sony I believe that worked fine 8 years ago playing guitar hero, Idk if its still working as I moved away but will be moving back this summer so if its working Ill have access to it again and a new appreciation of it.

A couple of things from the video: 1) The clear RCA/Thompson CRT TV was likely used by an inmate in a prison. They are required to be see through so nothing illicit can be stashed inside. 2) CRTs are difficult to dispose of because they use leaded glass. This is also part of what makes them so heavy. 3) As for fixing old CRTs there are several good channels on RU-vid that show you how to do just that. It is, however a dying art. 4) CRTs also emit X-ray radiation. Not a lot, but they do emit radiation (this is another reason for the leaded glass). 5) Ikegami STILL makes NEW CRT professional video monitors you can buy today. But you will need to shell out almost $9000 (yes, that's nine thousand) USD.

Here is what I think why couldn't they bring them back since we have lcd now we have technology to improve crt tvs we can make weight less like lcd TV and give them more modem inputs like hdmi also when it comes res we could make them go to 4k if done right yes this would be hard but it can be done in general we have no reasons not bring them back they have better color and better blacks and if you get HD crt TV good resolution so who here would not mind have crt TV and lcd and led TV with oled have all tvs so there is more options as far as crt tvs looks they will stay pretty much same they will have modem twist to them but nothing crazy kinda of like what Samsung slimfits this was HD crt TV that looked like lcd but have cool look of crt tvs are know for this modem twist

Oh, the FW900 is amazing. But they go for over a grand sometimes. And remember, there is the PAL60 standard, that allows 60 Hz signals (like on NTSC), while stil providing all the benefits of PAL, devices usually got all the nice plugs aswell, including RGB capable SCART plugs (there are also SCART cables that just carry Composite)

I hope they start making them again. They're superior to HDTV's in many ways. More accurate color portrayal and better movement. They're different technology. Also for any games before the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 era, the CRT will look better. Also, TV shows.

Old older black and white tvs , especially of the 40s before mass prediction can get you an hd image if internally fine tuned and you have to keep maintenance on tubes contained in it other than the crt. I think they're worth it for both the hd image and the charming hard wood cabinat. If your interested in them you do need to know how to restore them yourself. I personally recommend channels like shango066 or bandersontv. They both restore the and will well equip you with the required knowledge to fix any tv.

I put in new crts some years ago and both are running strong line new. I rarely use them though, they are more of a collector´s item to me.

I rarely play retro systems on HD TV's and If i do i play them using the Retron 5. I want a Sony Wega or Trinitron for my future gaming room. Back in the day i played older game systems on a early 90's 27 inch Sony Trinitron and SNES and N64 games looked fucking amazing on this TV, the picture was very crisp and colors popped.

These older TVs have composite video inputs so they can be used with set-top box digital tuners, or alternatively as monitors to find parts of analogue videotape that you may want to transfer to digital video(a video cue channel, as it were), but only if you have room for something like this, and for the latter suggested use, perhaps a smaller set would be better.

No TV sets beat the *SUPERIOR* Widescreen HD CRT with RF, composite, RGB, S-Video, *AND* HDMI inputs. Other reasons why CRTs are the best - Better colour than most LCDs - Less input lag (instantly displays image) - A mid-ranged CRT has better speakers than any modern televisions (more bass (with exceptions with some newer TVs) - No such things as dead pixels on a CRT - Great viewing angle - LCDs are not able to display a true black colour. CRTs can! - And of course, CRTs are cheaper

Best of both worlds, able to play modern games in 1080i as well as older consoles with no issue or latency. If you are purely a modern gamer then the Trinitron isn't going to be of much help, however if you do classic gaming with Dreamcast or Sega Genesis as well as XBox One, then that thing is nothing short of amazing.

Certainly if you are in Europe, a Sony Triniton with Scart input is considered the obtainable display worth boasting about for the retro gamer. The Phillips CM family and Commodore 1084 monitors are considered the holy grails. This is considered especially true as we preferred computers to consoles in the 80's and early 90's, and many small suppliers make computer monitor port to Scart cables.

If you care about retro games one bit, then a CRT is right for you. Period. Don't buy a PVM without SERIOUS thought though. If you regret it, then it's gonna be a hard choice to sell it again because of how hard it is to package and the headache of UPS fucking up the monitor. For modern gaming, you should ABSOLUTELY get a PC vga CRT and an HDMI adapter for it because it is smooth as SHAVED PUS. You can get 160hz at 640x480 or 120hz up to 1280x1024.

I'm running mine at 1440x1080@120Hz (alongside my two 144Hz BenQs) for desktop use and 1024x768@160Hz for CS:GO. A CRT monitor is imo the better choice as they are a lot more versatile than TVs. When I whip out my controller and start up my emulator I'll just switch my CRT to 240p@160Hz and I'm greeted by those sweet sweet scanlines which is the only way to play retro games like you remember them from back in the day. Bonus: You won't need to heat your room during winter, your monitor will do the job for you ;)

CRTs are a lovely way to play old consoles. Look at a game like Soul Blade on PS1 - it looks so nice with the scanlines, and if you have an inbuilt woofer like on the Trinitrons? Heavenly.. Scart and component/RGB are the best cables to use, then S-Video, and finally composite/RF is the worst but bearable on some old consoles (and the only option without physically modding them).. Basically all consoles up to the old Xbox are CRT friendly and there are loads of cables you can get for them nowadays, I even use my 360 on a CRT sometimes putting it into TATE mode for Japanese shmups (the TV set on its side for a longer vertical display - careful doing this!) using a scart cable. There is quite alot of stuff to learn regarding getting the very best image on the different machines, lots of modding potentially but essentially you just need a CRT, a Scart or RGB cable and you're set (make sure you know what inputs any TV you want to buy can take - some can only use S-Video for example, in the USA many do not have Scart but there are other options). So they are bulky and no good for modern systems but fun things nonetheless if you are a collector, but as the video says you can get all kinds of equipment now that sees you getting similar results on modern HDTV., even emulation on PC affords a near perfect experience and has options like scanline effects etc. making owning a physical CRT potentially rather pointless. Still many people do love them and are always happy to buy them or collect them from peoples homes if they are just to throw them out (I always check TV's I see lying around, have a good mooch around)!

@@NintendoDude888 Well, I guess there are good and bad CRTs and good and bad LCDs, I'm not going to argue which technology is superior, LCD has no distortions, CRT has better viewing angle and so on. The real question is, do they even make 1080p CRTs? And it does matter because most people confuse sharpness with contrast, some CRTs may have better contrast than some LCDs, but the details aren't there. A low resolution image will appear sharper with boosted contrast and a high resolution image less sharp at low contrast, yet low contrast high resolution image carries more information and carries more visible detail than the high contrast low res version where at first glance the image looks sharper but actually the fine details are missing. So what I mean is that if they still make highend 1080p TVs then the guy's TV may actually be as good or potentially better than an LCD TV, but lower resolution means detail is always lost even if better dynamic range and contrast make it look sharper. Of course there is more to image quality than resolution, and high dynamic range and contrast can be more pleasing to look at than a 1080p bland low contrast image. When I did my original comment I assumed Doctor Feinstone is using is using one of those old 576i TVs which by today's standards are beyond awful independently how good and highend everything else is
