/vr/ did not lie, it is good
>>12314619damn, crt that has scart on the front panel? kinda based
whats /vr/ opinion on using CRTs for PC emulation?I learned how to make VGA to SCART cables
>>12314704heres is connected to a modded Sony TV by scart
>>12314668i have a couple of these tinytrons. I like how dotty they look instead of having thick lines. Definitely unusual looking for aperture grille. Anyone know why they look dotty like a shadow mask? They are still clearly AG going by the horizontal only curvature and sony name.
>>12314704it's pretty nice but takes a lot of effort to get a setup that doesn't require constant fucking with. Even then switch res is just never as smooth as original hardware for some games that constantly change giving you a momentary black screen. Only ever really noticed that on ps1 and saturn stuff.
>>12314704Works well for sixth generation games overall. I don't know how to get 240p and I don't care to learn so I leave it at that.
>>12313397
>>12314706Isn't that screen a bit cropped? Otherwise a cool solution.
>>12314668Looks a little zoomed it, can you adjust it a bit further?By the way, the Castle Wall and the Villa in Cornell's scenario have some weird padding not present in the original. I never get to remember what to do in his version of the Villa despite replaying it often. Henry and Reinhardt/Carrie's scenarios in LoD do not have this, so whenever I replay LoD, I end up just using Reinhardt. But Cornell has some exclusive stages on present for the rest that replace the Castle Center (aka the Nitro) for him.Also, grabbing the same sub-weapon again in LoD boosts its power up to 3 levels. The axe and the holy water are fucking busted in it.
>>12314691no, it's a proprietary PS1/2/3 media interface port
i have 5 crts
To the rude anon who poopoo'd my free monitor in previous thread, turns out it's a rebranded Panasonic S15. Not bad after a flyback adjustment.
>>12314704Just get a mister, easier and far better. I used an emudriver/switchres setup for like two years. It's pretty good, though it does take time and effort to tweak everything to get it right. But mister blows it out of the water in pretty much every way except you'll lose out on some features of software emulation but who cares.
Is there a best display port to VGA adapter out there or should I just buy whatever chinkshit I see on amazon?
What’s the newest console you play on your crt? Mine’s the Wii
>>12315402For what? A crt monitor? I just used a cheap hdmi > vga off of Amazon(Moread) and it works fine. Easily enough bandwidth for any resolutions and framerates a good crt monitor could run. The display port one didn't work well for me for whatever reason.In case you're trying to get a vga signal for emudriver, that won't work, you need an old AMD graphics card. I can help you further if this what you're trying to do
>>12315407I mean, that's literally the latest official console with proper CRT support.
>>12315407Yeah, Wii/360I use the 360 to play videos and netflixThe Netflix also allows 4:3 output which is great
>>12315420Yeah just for hooking up a CRT monitor.
>>12315407i use my wii for 8 and 16 bit stuff but i haven't played a will game since galaxy and skyward sword in 2020. i also played catherine on ps3 a couple years ago, but i mostly use the ps3 as video player and youtube machine for my crt.
>>12315402Moread v2 dp to VGA is a recommended chink one if you have a regular monitorhttps://a.co/d/4SDyqJs
>>12315528Someone did a thorough test and v2 is a lot better than the original Model number DP2VGA-A-B-V2
sony make a non pvm/bvm hd crt without lag on 480p challenge (impossible)
Yes I know it’s not on the stand evenly, this is an old photo.
>>12315604This looks super badGet a trinitron
>>12315608>This looks super badBait, or you don't know how interlacing works
>>12315608>the picture you took with your phone from far away looks really bad, therefor it must look just as bad in real life, uuuuuhhhh also you should get a TrinitronI take one long break from this board and it’s immediately inundated with newfags. Sad.
>>12315615This is how a PS2 should look like on a CRT.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjROLCUWlnE
>>12315678Rex, a still image is not the same as video
Its been 25 years and idiots still dont realize that all TV brands made past 2000 from big companies (Philips, Samsung, etc) use the same fucking Trinitron technology, and their screen are indistinguishable from Sony Trinitrons, not to mention most of the time they have much more service options like being region free, more inputs or better geometry options.
>>12316450I appreciate you trying to keep the thread alive by posting something so insanely stupid people would be forced to engage, but the thread is titled "Filterfag Tears" so I don't think there's any need for that.
>>12315407I've used my Wii U on my CRT like once, not having 4:3 support just makes it memey though.I not too long ago started setting up my PS3 using a component cable instead of HDMI because honestly just fuck dealing with that piece of shit's baked-in HDCP and it made me want to replay a few early gen games that still supported 4:3 on my CRT.
>>12316498A samsung Tantus is better than any Sony Wegayou god damn retard
>>12314704I bought a vga to component converter on amazon, and on nvidia custom resolution put virtual 640x480, but actually outputs 240p and woah, after trying composite and s-video, this tv finnally looks good, why do people like Interlaced eye cancer, I was this close to selling the tv before trying actual progressive outputWhat the actual fuck is this new captcha
>>12316737Zoomer and not retro. I played MW3 on CRT though back when it was new.
>>12316498Nobody wants to buy your overpriced CRT on ebay.
>>12316792My Wells Fargo money balance begs to differ.
>>12316795>Insecure reseller/overpriced junk buyer detected
>>12316801>implying
Just picked up a 17" trinitron PC CRT. Anyone have recommendations on what DP-to-VGA adapter I should get? I'm not sure if it's one of those things where any will do. I heard that HDMI-to-VGA is more finnicky and less likely to support higher than 1080p/60hz
>>12316450Post some examples? I've only seen non sony aperture grille in PC CRTs. Never in consumer TVs. I think you are just mixing up aperture grille and the actual form factor/aesthetics of the flat sony wegas which everyone did copy. But they still used shadow masks.
>>12316450IIRC its because around that time the Trinitron patent expired so other manufacturers were free to copy it and make their own aperture grilles
>>12316450>Its been 25 yearsWhat has? Certainly not you.
Sega Marine Fishing, one of my Dreamcast favorites. Got this score randomly and had to take a photo
Have y'all ever bought a new in box CRT on eBay? I see a few listings for some CRT monitors and I'm tempted.
with custom speakers
>>12317443yea i got a brand new in box compaq 7500for around $100
I saw this for free tonight just as it was posted and flew out the door to get it. 14" RCA TruFlat with s-video. Very low mileage, it's like new
>>12317443I bought one for $20 in a walmart but that was nearly 15 years ago
had a bit of fun
>>12318551Cheated
>>12317603Theres a mag innovisiok up on eBay for 400 bucks. I don't give a shit about the piece moreso than buying a brick. I also don't know anything about the brand
>>12318757Meant MAG innovision*
