Post what CRT you use for gaming. Include model no. if possible.This is a Sharp 25R-S100.
i own one of those and the horizontal linearity is fucked with stretching on the left side. probably gonna get a shitton of badass m80s this 4th and send it to hell since it's unfit for use.
Did you know?In the projector community people will occasionally use two or more projectors at the same time to increase the brightness of their image. Two 400 lumen projectors overlaid will create an 800 lumen result. However, it is difficult to align the two images. But not impossible. Additionally, this has been done with CRT projectors a very small number of people. THEORETICALLY, it could be done with a rear projection setup. As in a person could take two sets of rear projection CRT internals, for a total of six small CRTs in total (rear projection televisions use 3 separate RGB CRTs), and then they could mount them into a single cabinet. Converging the two images together should be easier for 240p resolution, as it has a lot of wiggle room with very large thick raster lines at that resolution (CRT projectors are harder to converge the higher resolution they get). The result would be a very deep case (like 4') with a massively bright image compared to all the rear projection CRT set-ups anyone has seen. It would need significant cooling. But I'm confident that it could be pulled off and would make a direct view CRT monitor/televison of about 80" quite viable. For a price around maybe....$2000 for the whole project. It would be a a monster. A meme project.

>>12647236Currently playing on a Panasonic Tau CT-27SX12Falso have an Insignia IS-TV040919, RCA TruFlat 20F524T, Toshiba MD13Q41, Sony Trinitron KV-1370R, and an Audiovox AVT-600 Monitor
>>12647236I can't wait til this fad finally dies. The sidewalks and goodwills will be flooded with these things yet again.

whats the best way to go about using a crt monitor with the Switch 2? I also wanna be able to capture game footage as well.
>>12647412Your channel's never gonna take off bro
>>12647415I speedrun, I have no intention of taking off
>>12647291Obsession with large tvs, or powerful cars, or anything that requires more is a sign of immaturity. At some point I grew up and realized that I don't need more. I am quite happy with a 15 inch CRT.
>>12647419small screen cuck cope
>>12647321I miss taking a hammer to the screens. Literally the most cathardic release of tension you'll ever feel.
>>12647321Will never happen.
>>12647474Lol, you're right. Most city refuge services refuse to pick these hulking relics up anymore, so you might have to take yours to the local dump. Lord knows the goodwill won't want it, due to the surplus they'll find themselves with.
>>12647497how many crts do you think are still out there, anon? i'd bet 99% of all crts ever made have been destroyed already
>>12647443I have a 21 inch CRT in reach right now. And there is a couple of 28 inch CRTs in the loft of the family house which I could acquire if I really wanted to. I just don't need them. My 15 inch CRT can fully resolve 240p, and looks excellent, why would I need more?
Got this 14'' Advent QA1435A for helping my Grandparents clean out their old house. Other than some minor geometry issues in the bottom-right corner, it's in good shape. My grandparents lost the remote, so I had to buy one for $20 to get into the service menu to fix the geometry. I wish it was bigger, but for a free* TV, I can't complain.
>>12647236heres my CRTA "Zenith B27A11Z" i got from goodwill like 5 years ago. I havent seen a CRT at goodwill in years so I got kinda lucky Old pic, I removed most of the clutter and put the small phillips CRT under my bed
>>12647497goodwill takes them now thanks to the VINTAGE RETRO GAMING TV craze.
PVM-2030
>>12647630Nice PS2 collection man
>>12647513Do you know how many boomers still have these televisions? They sit in their homes and get used as addtional shelving. Not to mention the ones collecting dust in storage units all across the u.s.
>>12647306I sold the same model Tau recently. Solid TV with some geometry flaws. One of the most aesthetic models out there IMO.
>>12647615Lmao greedy fucks.
>>12647630I remember seeing a PVM-2530 for sale locally. They were asking 1500, then eventually lowered it to 1200. I thought twice about it but it's hard to justify.
>>12647553Throw away those other CRTs if you're actually "happy" with your 15" unit, cuck.
>>12647685Don't worry. Once the fad dies they'll practically be giving these away.
>>12647236man, few months ago someone in the neighbirhood put out a 19" ish trinitron. I passed by it three days walking my dog. everytime I saw it I thought, "I should come back for that...nah, I'm not buying any consoles and I dont feel like opening up my mister to add analog ports"but now I got a super station one coming soon and really wish I got that tv
Finally able to get rid of the over scan when using my crt as a second monitor. Had to go through some of my video card settings and tinker with hdmi scaling. Was about to give up and get a ps2.

>>12648445just kidding I actually use a PVM-20M2
I use a Walmart brand Orion 27" TV, purchased in 2004
>>12648448>Walmart brandOh I'm going to bully the shit out of you
>>12648448walmart had an in house electronics brand in 2004?
>>12647630>spines of games permanently ruined by a psycho gamestop employee and a stickersome men just want to watch the world burn
>>12647615>>12647685>>12647736Just check their drop off zones after hours. Fuggers leave then out in the rain and sun.
>>12648509>obsessively zooms in on pics like a psycho>enviously imagines shit like a psycho>pathetically uses a line like a psychoI see a pattern here
>>12647236What's up with the recent surge in crt shilling?I remember when everyone moved on to the next generation of tech happily. Repairs didn't cost an arm and a leg, they weren't dangerous when broken, they could actually be moved reasonably around the house, they looked better, etc.What did we all supposedly miss out on?
>>12648739you took this very personally. were you the gamestop employee that put stickers on the cover art beneath the plastic? If so I do want you to know that I forgive you, but I still dislike you.
>>12647419And what's the hardest game you've completed on your 15 inch crt?
>>12648748Oh, shit. Yeah. And they didn't hum. God, I do not miss that old crt hum. You could hear that shit across a house.
>>12648448Post it
>>12647703For $1200 you can get a 4k 240hz OLED monitor and run CRT shaders on it.
>>12648748It stems from a desire to return to quality. To have a feeling of reliability and simplicity in the technology we use.
>>12647236miring your hair bro
>>12647236Any Indonesiabros here? Where can I get a good CRT? Just buy any from Tokopedia?
>>12648758this model, not my pic
>>12647236I use CRT Royale on a 32" 4k monitor. I've tweaked the shader to have about 500 TVL distinguishable using test patterns. My settings areDiffusion 0Halation 0Mask Type 1 (slot mask)Triad Size 5When I want a composite video signal I append this shader to NTSC-Adaptive. My NTSC adaptive settings are different for each console, but reflect the performance of the RGB to NTSC Composite video encoder used in each console. If I am playing an NES game I would use GTU-Famicom and append CRT-Royale to it. I own real CRTs but over time have found myself using the shader most often because the screen is larger and it's more convenient for me. Even with motion blur from sample-and-hold blur the reduction in perceived motion maintains at least 300 lines of resolution, so the image doesn't seem that blurry in action even though the monitor is only a 60hz unit in overdrive mode. It's a BenQ PD3200U.
>>12648748Gaming on anything modern with analog inputs will feel like absolute shit due to scaling introduced input lag etc. For applications where responsiveness is important it will be cheaper and easier to get a crt than a retrotink setup or whatever and will arguably look better
>>12647236I use a Toshiba 24AF44. It's pretty good for what it is. I was bothered by the horizontal screen warping at first but I'm used to it now.
>>12648509The biggest chain in the UK used to write on the cover, manual and disc with a marker rather than use stickers. You still see defaced copies show up on Ebay all the time. I got pretty good at using an eraser to gently remove it, but it'd still sometimes leave noticeable damage.
Should I kill myself if my CRT doesn't support component?
>>12647246looks fine to me, send it my way
>>12648748N64 games objectively look better on a CRT TV.
>>12649462it's really noticeable in motion
>>12649450no, most classic systems output composite natively, that's the authentic experience
>>12649450No. Component is just one part of the formula for a good CRT. What do you have?
>>12649450you only need component for gen 6
>>12649542That's mainly what I play
am I gonna have to fix this? it works when I plug it into my GPU but not when I try a converter cable
>>12649581What kind of converter cable?
>>12649613simple VGA to hdmi cable, I did however pickup a converter off amazon so i'll see if that works
>>12649660>simple VGA to hdmi cableThat won't work. It has to be an active converter.
>>12649664yeah I bought one and it should get here tomorrow, otherwise im probably gonna have to dish out for a Retrotink
>>12649450All you need is composite, RF if you're a fucking chad. If you're adamant for the component meme then just get a TV with s video.
>>12649798I'm supposed to play PC and arcade games through composite?
>>12649798third world cope, kek
please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it always felt to me like a computer monitor that we had much smaller pixels than the TVOne thing i really hated when I got my laptop, was seeing the aliasing in GTA San Andreas. My computer was top of the line in 2005 Dell Inspiron and quality of the game was kind of shittier than CRT at the internet cafe which had much shittier desktops with less ram and worse video cards.With time I forgot this and just used heavy anti-aliasing which just makes whole picture annoyingly washed out, and only with higher resolution displays 1440p etc that effect is largely invisible.
>>12649928He says with his golem posture while squinting real hard to play his 3 inch pvm.
>>12649418covering permanent marker with dry-erase (expo) and then wiping it is a really easy way to clean it off just something to try if you want
>>12648446Very nice. How can you look at that and say "I REALLY HATE THE PVM LOOK"? Post a pic of Yoshi's Island that looks better on a 'sumer tv, go on.
>>12650023>please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it always felt to me like a computer monitor that we had much smaller pixels than the TVYes, this can literally be true. It's called dot pitch.
>>12651251>>12648446Way too line-y for my taste.
This is a very good TV. Got it for 20 bucks from yard sale.
