I like consumer grade 15kHz monitors. Middle of the road.

>>shitty 13 inch monitor from the 80s
It's a 600 TVL slot mask, with RGB, Y/C and composite inputs. Also has stereo speakers, does 50Hz/60Hz and analog picture/geometry controls, main ones right on the front. Plus the tube is in great health, one of my favorite monitors.
>>PS5 controller
Yeah, great controller and low latency even when wireless.
>>Enterntainment
I suck at writing, what can I say.
>>emulators
Yep.
>>RGB lighting
It's cold white though.

It's mine but I'm not OP. I've posted it in /CRT/ threads before.

>I presume you've got a transcoder/crtemudrivers going on.
DP to VGA and VGA to SCART with joined sync signals. This monitor actually accepts separate H/V sync too in addition to composite sync, so I made a custom cable for it.

>The one thing that blows about 15khz is that is sucks at outputting high res arcade games in progressive scan, have to flip to 480i for those.
Yeah, I'm limited to 15kHz progressive modes only.

>Another thing that's kinda crummy about 240p output from a PC is that 224p games won't fill the screen like 240p games and vice versa so you'll never maximize the screen for all games without over/underscan between them.
I have many ~15kHz modelines for many consoles and games, many refresh rates and from 224p to 288p, CRT SwitchRes automatically switches between them depending on the console/game to keep it 1:1.

>That said, within those limitations, it's a pretty good time.
Thanks, I didn't have much space for it at the time, got more space now but it's currently in storage at a relatives after I moved, going to do a better setup after renovation.

PC -> DP to VGA adapter -> VGA to RGB cable -> TV.
Make sure you join together the H+V sync signals, cheapest/easiest way is with resistors, google about joining sync signals, but it's not the best way, but good enough for testing.

On the software side, I use CRU to set up my own modelines for 244p, 240p and 288p with several common refresh rates for each. Also I deleted all 31kHz+ modelines for the adapter, just in case. As long as you turn the TV on after the PC, you'll never have to worry about sending too high frequencies into it.

That's basically it, googling PAL/NTSC modelines and VGA to RGB cable pinouts will give you everything else you need.

That's my setup, thanks anon.

New stereo speakers inside with recaped amp, for /vr/ I prefer the wide soundspace they give without even being visible than even dedicated monitors. If I want to just listen to game music, I just switch over to my main speakers.
Most of the time RA is configured to it's own DAC that's hooked up to the monitor though, so you can use the PC and the CRT with RA and controller separately. Like listening to stuff or talking on the PC while playing games on the CRT with seperate speakers for both.

Just bad picture/exposure and lighting.
