https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95cGh9EeMIYWhy did Commodore have such bangers in their ads?
Did you see my link on /g/ and made a whole thread about it?
>>11054247Only garbage-tier sets didn’t have lines. Back then the idea of a “nice tv” wasn’t really a thing like it is today though, it’s more so looking back on it that it becomes a conversation. Nobody gave a shit about scanlines in 1997.
>>11054257for some reason there's been several amiga related threads on /vr/ recently
>>11054251I want to be back so bad broshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWeO5IkCssk
>>11054247I'm sure they were exactly as obsessively retarded about other things though /vr/
>>11054268It's as if it was a retro system you could play games in and everything
>>11054285amiga rarely gets mentioned and when it does, it's usually nothing good
>>11054247I don't recall ever seeing scanlines back in the day. I thought it was some weird emulator thing.
>>11055462your TV just sucked ass
>>11055463Yes. Old TVs suck ass.
>>11055464Nope. Only yours did. Sorry you had to learn this way.
>>11055462thats because unless you smooshed your face against the glass, you didnt see them
>>11055479I actually did this as a kid to spite my parents telling me not to. I was the last one to get glasses
>>11055462toshiba slot mask master race here.I remember seeing scanlines in emulators and assuming they were in the wrong direction. The only stripes I ever saw were vertical and only when getting really close to the tv.
>>11054247They did and they didn't.A lot of misrepresentation is by photo and video. Recordings of CRTs don't look the same as actually looking at one.
>>11055463If you saw scan lines on your consumer TV, that means it was going out. You shouldn't ever see them due to light diffusion on the tube. Also >>11055529
>>11054251because they knew their product sucked so they had to compensate in marketing
>>11054436Amiga also had video and sound applications released for it during its production run, in addition to games.
>>11054268Huh? Amiga was pretty significant. I am thinking you are new here.
>>11054260What makes it garbage? I find distracting black lines to be much worse.
>>11055526T. slot mask user's are gay and not straight, like their wobbly fucking lines because of lol.... slot mask not degassing properly over time. Trintitron's literally do not have this problem, since sony was smart enough to put a small as wire to stabilize it.
>>11055526>slot mask master race>image is of a aperture grillKEK
>>11055785You could only see them up close. Bad sets didn’t have scanlines because everything just blurred together.
>>11055820That's a slot mask. Picture is just taken with a retarded angle.
>>11055526Based slot mask master race bro
>>11055817>slot mask not degassing properly over timeHonestly haven't used one since the early '00s so maybe you're right about that. Blackstripes looked fantastic back in the day though.>>11055820look closer
>>11054247Ironically the Trinitrons and PVMs that everyone jizzes over here have much more prominent scanlines than your average Magnetbox from a K-Mart black friday sale. Those TVs were blurrier and the scanlines weren't nearly as noticeable.
