Get that CRT yet /v/?
I got one many years ago and it just sits in storage doing nothing. Big waste of money.
>>729231734I've had a number of them over the yearsThe one I have now is my dedicated basement Dance Dance Revolution CRT
I have a JVC from my chain smoking great aunt, and while I could clean up a good majority of it, it still has this nasty brown stain on the screen and what's worse is that the picture itself slightly leans down at the top left of the actual display. But I got it for the low price of $0 so I'm happy with it.
>>729231734>uncslop on the uncscreen
>>729231734you don't play any of these games and this entire setup is performative and you just play the latest nintendo first party games like every collector faggot
>tfw just had to move home, along with my 6 CRTs>finally got the room sorted with my mega drive hooked up to my big 32' set>turn the big boy on>screen comes on for a second and then goes straight to black, no static>fuuuuuuuckI don't know the first thing about CRT repair and I don't know any repair shops that still take them. Is the dream over? Pic related is the TV back when it worked.
I have 10A20 BVM20L5 PVM1943MD20M2-MDU14M2U PVM1354Q PVM8041Q PVMJVC AV-27D500KV32FS12And the CRT in my neogeo cabinet. I have a widescreen crt but it currently has caps going dead so not counting it.Yes I horde but nothing hits quite like it for retro gaming. Tried all the scanline filters etc and just nothing feels as good or looks as good. Not my setup I can't find a picture right now
>>729232185All I know about CRT repair is that people say it can be very dangerous and you can electrocute yourself if you don't know what you're doingI know some people who have tinkered around and lived to tell the tale though, so maybe it's exaggerated
>>729232185It likely hit something during the move. I'm sure it's fixable but it would cost more to fix it than replace that model. Consumer CRTs, even great ones, can still go for cheap over FB marketplace.
>>729231734got a dell e770s for free and the black levels look nice but it takes up too much room on my desk to use comfortably. i now understand why desks used to have keyboard trays. it's because this giant fucking boulder of a monitor doesnt leave you any room.
every image is just title screens lmao
>>729232860nigga are you blind? There's exactly one title screen shown in that image, and two mid to late game status screens
>>729231734always have had one, but picked up a nice big one from a goodwill last year for 10 bucks that's now my goto
>>729232860Back in the day games had attract modes to attract people to play the game. I almost always have one in the background as I play because it's comfy kino. It's like being at the arcades in the 90s.
Reminder that pre-rendered backgrounds for old consoles only look good on a CRT.
i'd get one if i had more room honestly
i have one for my modded ps1 and my genesis. ik i can emulate but im a nostalgia fag.
>>729234186
>>729234317>fat fingersPottery
>>729231734yeah, it's a big ass mitsubishi. been playing the new PoE2 league because someone gifted me the game though, I was playing Dark Cloud 2 and Yakuza 2 on mine before that.
>>729233541they look alright on LCDs too you just can't upres the game without shit looking weird, see the new FF7 original ports compared to something like emulating the original PS1 release
>>729231734Yeah like 5 years ago,did it away again. Its a meme for anything past 5th gen
>>729231734I got a 13 inch one recently, but my OLED is better for most cases, especially with my Analogue devices.
>>729233453>Back in the day games had attract modes to attract people to play the game.They're called demos you larping retard.
Someone's trying to offload a free one in my town but I'm pretty sure it's the same model as the one I'm already using.
>>729234921you're so desperate for a dunk that you're getting mad about interchangeable terms for the same thing anon
>>729234524nah that was just a weird picture, older pic too. nice try though>inb4ourhandsaredirtyautomotive work and i ran out of orange hand cream, feels bad man
>>729235004Making up dumb shit isn't an "interchangeable term", retard.
>>729235752
>>729235752>he doubled downlol
>>729235972NTA but an AI summary is basically as useful as source: I made it up
>>729236803What source would you like anon? A simple search gives you thousands of options.
>>729234921Attract mode wasn't a demo. You couldn't play it.
>>729234921You can just admit you're a child. You're ironically the one fucking larping.Attract modes were not demos you fucking absolute moron. You couldn't play an arcade machine without putting money in.
>>729234921>being this retarded
>>729234673snapped a photo real quick, unsure what model of mitsubishi it is but it has S-video which is good enough for me, though part of me wants to find a component capable CRT for my xbox original>>729236943to be fair some cabs I'm pretty sure would have DEMO MODE displayed as text during it, as it did demonstrate the game being played but both terms are fine and fighting over it is peak stupidity
>>729237284>to be fair some cabs I'm pretty sure would have DEMO MODE displayed as text during it, as it did demonstrate the game being played but both terms are fine and fighting over it is peak stupidityDemo Mode had to be specifically switched on. In retail/play mode/free play mode it would show gameplay screens/titles/videos until you interacted with it and went to the start/select screen.I have an old aliens cabinet.
>>729237697I could swear the demo mode text would appear during those videos but it's been quite a long time since I've played an arcade cab in person so I'll take you at your word
>>729231734Sure did. It looks amazing
>>729231734I've got an old massive one that sucks cock to look at because it was cheap. Still use it for everything up to the PS2.
I recently got one but damn the white noise sound when it's on is very loud, anyway to dampen it? Does it need a cabinet or something?
Yes
>>729236680>>729236893>>729236943>>729237106You need to be over 18 to post here kids.
>>729231734yeah
>>729231847this post bippy
>>729240391I can smell the rotten onion from their unwashed armpits plus the rotting flesh from their axewounds
