27'' inch is the optimal crt size, and American 2000s Trinitrons are highly based. Nice to have the subwoofer with it as well.

2000s Euro Trinitron output was all 4:3 21'' lt chassis mono shitters, the gay nigger ls chassis that explodes, and shitty 100hz widescreen sets that cant even do progressive scan

The actual lack of good 2000s Trinitrons here means that 4:3 curved L04 Phillips are the best 2000s sets you can get here.

I need to eat some pussy after that.

>>10973915

>>10973925
Yeah, but fuck. 110 lbs. I need a real TV stand. The guy had a TV stand too small for it and all the things I have look like they will die under the weight of that thing.

>>10973930
Oh yeah, sorry, 50$ CAD

>>10973931
That's because flatscreen crts aren't actually flat. They're curved internally. Like imagine a normal curved set and then filling in the front of it with glass to make it flat, that's what they did lmao. Makes it very heavy.

Only exception is some LG Flatron monitors and some weird Panasonic sets who managed to get the ''real flat'' patent off Zenith.

>>10973937
Damn man that’s like 10 ameribux. Good shit

>>10973938
Seem dumb, but hey image quality is great. Just hoping I dont need to move out of my condo for a couple of decades

>>10973943
Murican 2000s Trinitrons produce some of the best possible images you can get from sdtvs. Just be gentle with it because the Aperture Grille can start warping and falling off the glass if you're too physical with it.

>>10973945
Hopefully that's the most physical I will have to be with it. Moving 4 flight of stairs alone with that thing in my hands was fucking scary.

>>10973925
What are you talking about? Local sales sites are full of literally the same PAL equal model WEGAs for a few eur a pop.
Plus they support PAL60, native RGB input and 60Hz.

They aren't that good though compared to earlier curved black Trinitrons from mid to high end models.

>>10973931
CRT weight confuses me. The 36" Trinitron I had was listed at 217 lbs, I guess that extra screen size really adds a lot.

>>10973945
>Murican 2000s Trinitrons
Sony sold the same models in both continents, the only difference being PAL and NTSC, with European sets being forced to support SCART and RGB input too (hence also 60Hz support). The tubes are the same.

>>10973950
They're not the same. The LS chassis is a poverty piece of shit and a lot of Euro Trinitrons sets are useless widescreens with no real 240p or 100hz forced

>>10973954
I don't know if the tubes are the same, but the chassis are completely different, have segregated service manuals etc.

>>10973960
You have no idea what you're talking about.

Like compare a LS Eurotron to a FS120 and the 120 destroys it completely.

>>10973965
You're the nigga who doesn't realise that Europe and America have completely different chassis for the sets

>>10973937
>>10973915
What's the weirdass prymaid thing on top?

>>10973976
Subwoofer, Trinitron tradition to have it on top. You find 90s sets with it as well.

>Behold, the strongest 2000s Eurotron
>LS shitter, built with the best poverty components and stripped down chassis for the poorest most retarded Europeans who can't afford (((widescreen 100hz) sets

>>10973960
>useless widescreens
oh I wish for 6th gen consoles, most are 4:3 though and good widescreens are harder to find

>with no real 240p
what? most do anything from 224p to 288p and 50 to 60 hz

>100hz forced
yeah, some exist, same applies for plasmas etc too, some have it optional as a setting, others forced, but quite rare since they were price premium models

>>10973915
I wish I could get one of those lucky CRT finds but at the same time I don't have room for one in my living area and I'm still somewhat young so I can easily hear the high pitched sound they emit.
I recently upgraded from the LCD I've had since 2012 to a Sony OLED which I'm soon to setup and I just bought a component > HDMI converter thing for my PS2 which I expect will look like crap but hopefully no worse than component did on my 1080p LCD.
For modern TVs retro games require a scaler to look half decent and some recommend the RT 2X-Pro as a more affordable scaler but it's not fucking cheap by any means, especially in my country and it feels like a bummer buying one of those for a high end TV when something like the RT-4K exists.
I just hope I won't have to wait too many years for the more high end scalers to become more affordable and available. You CRT fags still win for now... *sigh*

What do you mean we could just use longer persistence phosphors to stop 50hz flicker?

The goyim MUST purchase 600 pounds more expensive 100hz sets to compensate for a problem WE designed.

>You WILL enjoy digital artificating from 100hz
>You WILL enjoy input lag
>You WILL purchase the 100hz widescreen shitter.. but there is an alternative...
>You WILL purchase the 4:3 LS Povertytron, and we made it EXTRA UGLY just to RUB IT IN

>>10973994
A lot of the widescreen Trinitrons line double 240p to 480i wigger. They can display 240p but its not actual 240p lol.

Worth mentioning I'm in the UK and the country is fucking infested with widescreen/100hz 2000s sets. They were everywhere. 4:3 2000s Trinitron sets are hard to get and the best ones are the LS chassis which is pretty poverty

>>10974012
I wasn't talking about widescreens

>>10973976
It's a subwoofer with speakers. It add a lot of deepness to the sound and make DK country intro sound super bassy. Like you feel the drums. That's cool.

>>10974015
Yeah we have 4:3 sets but they're legit way lower spec than American ones. I have no seen in a few years of crt shopping a single 4:3 2000s trini above the ls in spec, which is equivalent to low grade Murican trons.

>>10973925

BULLSHIT

>>10974034
Which country is this anyway, looks like I missspoke. Mayb uk market just sucks.... Europe is fine...

That things looks much better than the LS chassis anyway

>>10974041
literally have had several over the years, it's a menu option, sometimes in the user menu, sometimes in the service menu, not all have the option though, usually entry level 100hz ones don't
they also do 60hz, quite flexible

>>10974048
Which country are you in?

>>10973915
I found that same Wega sitting on the sidewalk a few blocks from my house. Former owner was even kind enough to tape the remote to it.

>>10974072
Nice. I saw a couple of CRT on the side of the road too, but always scared of cockroaches inside or whatever.

>>10974047
>>10974062
I live in two European counties, both mainland and also work abroad in NA, here's a few listings from the second one. This is no way country specific, it's pretty much the same all across EU.

>>10974138
Where is that second тeлeвизop ad from? I want to buy it.

>>10974115
What game is that on the CRT?

>>10974327
>little bro doesn't recognize Diablo

Sad.

>>10974330
The UI doesn't look right for Diablo

>>10974331
Ok little noob.

>>10974008
We owned multiple widescreen tvs, and none of them were 100hz. I have never even seen a 100hz tv in my life.

>>10974331
It's the PS1 version of Diablo

>>10974115
Uhhhh, where's your Dreamcast???

>>10974115
I think you need more NES.

>>10974696
I got lucky, it was some old rich dude who did yoga and made dried leaves using sand.

>>10974707
I have one, it's just not plugged in since I have like 3 games for it.

>>10974745
I use them as height boosters They are all broken except one.

>>10974882
anon please get more dreamcast games. time stalkers for rpg dungeon crawling vmu game goodness and power stone 2 and project justice

>>10974896
I tried to plug it to make you happy, but I somehow cant find my video cable for it. Will need to order one. I did plug my Xbox at least

>>10973925
I have a 2000s Sony, but honestly I'm not too fond of the flat screen for most things. 27" is the ideal size for 3D, and really anything from Genesis onward. NES looks a bit weird on those larger displays in my opinion, but it's tolerable

>>10975129
OG xbox has some solid titles on it anon good choice if you cant play some dreamcast right now. Def order those video cables and get those games I mentioned (or burn them if you cant find them cheap). time stalkers has a bunch of vmu games you can play with it that add to the experience. 6/10 game but has enough I like about it I play thru it every other year

>>10974882
It's not modded for piracy?

>>10975165
>>10975158
Pretty sure it's extremely rare to find a Dreamcast not modded.

>>10973952
It’s glass anon, crystal to be exact, of course it would be heavy
Flat screens also weigh more because the glass is thicker
>>10974012
480i isn’t line doubling 240p, 480i is 240p
The only reason you’d be getting 480i over 240p is some device inbetween the TV and your console
If you’re talking about 100hz sets then you’d be getting 480p, not 480i

>>10975193
It's not. My unmodded barely used Japanese one is in the mail and I should LITERALLY be getting it THIS week. I'm so fucking excited it's not even real. I've never even seen a Dreamcast in real life before. I'm gonna do a PSU mod, a replica GDEMU, the battery mod, although not sure how good that is, and a Noctua fan mod. Then I'm gonna play fucking Project Justice and Shenmue and fucking Skies of Arcadia and muhfuggin THPS2 and all the fighting games, INCLUDING FUCKING Naomi ports. Holy shit I can't wait for the Naomi ports. In case you didn't know, Naomi is basically the arcade Dreamcast they used for arcade games in arcade centers. And the hardware is so similar, the games can be ported over and ran on an actual Dreamcast AT HOME. Or atomiswave or whatever it's called.

That's CRAZY.

>>10974331
Are you confusing Diablo 2 with Diablo 1?

>>10975228
>the battery mod, although not sure how good that is
It stops you having to fix the time every start up of the Dreamcast
I don’t know if I’d do the PSU mod if it’s working fine
Get yourself a thumb cover for the analog stick and keep an eye out for 8bitmods VMU, I have some of their memory cards and they are great

>>10975226
some sets designed to downscale HD signals to 480i will also do it to 240p
There are many JVC l'art sets that do this

>>10975265
>It stops you having to fix the time every start up of the Dreamcast
Allegedly people say it dies after like two weeks if you don't use your Godcast, but I have no idea why and how true that is. PSU mod I got out of apranoia because apparently removing the disc drive to install the GDEMU does some voltage shit and the regular PSU does something else and it's not that great. I forgot. Tried actively researching it to actually learn what the deal was, but everyone was saying different shit and I gave up. There's gonna be an 8bitmods VMU? Never heard about it, but I preordered a VM2 from Dreammods, and the next batch should be sent out in June. It was a kickstarter thing that ended a while ago but I emailed him and he's sending me one. 150 bucks though. Not sure how the 8bitmods one would compare. Ironically I also got some free thumb covers as a random gift when I ordered some other stuff from Japan, not even DC related.

>>10974008
I WILL laugh at your ignorance. I have CRTs that do 100hz with none of the problems you're having a meltdown over.

>>10975283
sounds awesome anon I cant wait for you to play your dreamcast and all the atomiswave ports. love dreamcast its such a great system and there's alot of fun games on it to get lost in. Project justice and shenmue will both entertain you alot. congrats on your purchase anon and welcome to dreamcast

>>10975375
Wholesome post. I also built my own DIY one of a kind arcade stick with the brook retro board which has an RJ45 port and you can use cables with RJ45 to retro console connectors like PS1/PS2/DC/GC/etc and you can use it on all your retro consoles by just switching cables that's crazy.

>>10974028
Anon, clean the blood off it at least

>>10975386
Anyone that buys a dreamcast is a fellow dreamcast bro in my book (or gal). Its one of my favorite systems and this place I live has probably heard more dreamcast music from its games tha any other system.
And very nice and stylish arcade stick. You'll have alot of fun with that. If you get a chance to try street fighter alpha 3 on dreamcast do it...its got a couple of modes in it worth play. Also check out some of the snk fighters on the system. Beautiful games. Makes me happy there's another dreamcast player enjoying this system. Again really digging that arcade stick you made anon good job.

>>10975283
>Allegedly people say it dies after like two weeks
they should probably get a better battery
>There's gonna be an 8bitmods VMU?

The PSU thing is pretty moot if you do the Noctua mod

Sorry for the fag not retro question, but should DS and PSP games be played on a CRT, an HDCRT or a regular modern flat-screen?

>>10975504
They should be played on original handheld screen

>>10975265
>Get yourself a thumb cover for the analog stick
no u

>>10975364
All 100hz sets have input lag and digital artifacts, sorry nigger

Why are zoomies like this?

>>10976006
>>10975486
It's here! I did it! Controller and console are dirtier than they seemed on the ad images but oh well.

>>10977205
Awesome anon I was hoping for the update post about this. Now you have a glorious dreamcast in your collection to play. I dont know what genres' youre into but the fighting game selection on dreamcast is great. I mentioned street fighter alpha 3 and the snk fighters in my one post. Soul Calibur 2 and Doa2 are also alot of fun. And im going to make sure to mention power stone 1 & 2 and project justice (Great game ive logged tons of hours in it). For non fighting I suggest checking out Spawn into the demons hands and Time stalkers (rpg).

>>10977221
I literally got it for Project Justice mainly. I'm obviously gonna play all the fighting games, atomiswave ports, and whatever jRPGs it has. just gotta mod it real quick,

>>10975228
>the battery mod, although not sure how good that is

It's really easy to do, just pop out the rechargable battery and put in a coin holder to replace it, and a diode to stop the console from trying to charge it. Best to do a resettable resistor mod while you're at it too, sooner or later you might blow it hot swapping a controller without thinking.

>>10977605
resettable fuse mod, I mean

>>10977287
Sounds great anon project justice is alot of fun and there's unlockable hidden charactors and features to enjoy in it. Great follow up game to rival schools on psx/ps1. (which I still play to this day also). The selection of jrpgs is a bit smaller on dc but games like time stalkers and record of lodoss war and evolution 1&2 (and more) fill it out nicely. Grandia II is another one I think you'll enjoy for rpg. I dont have alot of experience with the driving games but the few I played were decent. Nothing deep like forza or gran turismo but some solid titles to play. There's also the resident evil games to play thru to add to the list of games you've beat. Also look into the beat um up and shmups also which has a ton of great games. I wish I could think of more games to suggest but you'll figure that as you go along. I would suggest just getting your hands on as many games that look appealing as possible and trying them out. there's a bunch of stuff im forgetting that I played at one point and really enjoyed. again welcome to dreamcast its great to see another person enjoying one

>>10977619
Here's what I'm working with right now. Got some lightgun games while I wait on my guns to arrive. Surely I'm missing some but these are more than enough.

>>10974896
There, all plugged and working. My white controler does not work, but my red one with the little memory card does work and I'm surprised the memory card still retained my games from 2012.

>>10977665
Pretty swaggy. Kinda jelly your shell looks so much cleaner than mine. Mine's a bit wonky too. I wonder if I should get those third party clear shells, although they're kinda gay and I really like the normal white one.

>>10977663
Nice selection of games to start with anon. I would add spawn in there for some in your face action. was really popular amongst my friends years ago when I used to live near them. Otherwise you have a solid list of titles to get started. Tokyo extreme racer 2 is a great game and ive played thru it many times over the years. My only complaint about that game is the auto replay but that's a minor annoyance. Cool to see you're going to get some light guns also. Sadly my one lightgun doesnt work as good anymore so I have to replace it.

>>10977665
Very nice anon got shenmue playing on the screen. Comfy game. And idk my one vmu from a decade ago still had my saves on it once I powered it up. maybe I got lucky.

>>10977205
Well there's that myth about Japanese being cleanly busted.

So, I recently picked up a curved Toshiba that has component and the composite looks well converged on the white dots (red and blue parts all very close) but the component is pretty bad (red shifted quite a bit to the left of white, and the blue shifted to the to right). Is this normal? If I adjust to fix The component will the composite be off?

I'm also wondering if a bad component cable could cause this. I got this wii component cable back in college and I'm sure so brought the cheapest one I could find. The cable is pretty thick though.

>>10978145
could also be the connectors on the TV. mine does that with one of my CRTs and i have to wiggle them just right to get the color bleeding to stop

>>10978145
I have an even bigger problem. My TV doesn't even have white pixels. I was gonna take it apart and replace the caps, but the TV repairman said they don't make those models of caps any more and they're expensive and almost impossible to find. He said I probably blew up the white pixel capacitors by using a universal remote.

>>10978430
Retard-kun...... I don't even know where to begin...

Figure I’d ask in this thread instead of making a a new one.
Are these tube flat screen tvs any good?
Samsung TXN2775HF

I got my BVM after years waiting for one on FB marketplace. Got it for like 3 grand less than its going for ebay.

>>10978650
Flat screen CRTs suck because they're like 20x heavier than a normal CRT for very little real benefit.

>>10978650
I've heard good things about the dynaflat line, but that one clearly says "HD" in the top right. Definitely not what you want unless you want to buy a upscaler to go with it

>>10973915
very nice, about a year ago I got a 20" wega at an estate sale for $20
out of curiosity how many inputs does yours have?

>>10975228
Just aheads up, make sure your dreamcast isn't a VA0 or else your gdemu will get fried, and in all likelihood it is because they are super prolific in Japan. Need to do an array resistor mod to drop voltage from 5v to 3.3v, modsvilleusa on yt has a good tutorial

>>10980652
Ehh I don’t really care about weight
>>10980718

>>10980641
>he has the black dreamcast and he has a bvm
I'm so jealous man. Can I come over...
>>10981191
It's not, I specifically researched the model numbers and only bid on auctions that very clearly showed the number on the sticker and weren't piss yellow. Mine is the 670-14071E model. Put a dragoncity dc-psu in it and a knock off GDEMU (with openmenu), because the genuine ones aren't sold anymore. Works well for now. Really hoping these two mods are legit. Noctua + battery mod soon.

I still regret giving away my 27 inch trinitron, but I'm happy with my 25 inch phillips. You don't see too many 24-25 inch crt tvs for some reason.

I am unironically opening every single picture, you better spend some time making sure your face isn't in the reflection.

>>10973915
I had a similar funny story getting my 27" trinitron. I forget the model but it's a curved glass display as per my preference. Got it for $30.

So the guy had it in his basement. Narrow uneven stairs were leading down to a dimly lit basement. The guy walked in ahead of me. I was seriously concerned that he was going to knock me out with a sock full of quarters and murder me. It turned out my fears were unwarranted.
I smashed my hand agaisnt the door sill moving toward the stairs out of his basement but there was no way in hell that I was going to drop the 70+ lb 27" trinitron.
He (the seller) was just normal nice person. I'm always a little bit afraid that I'm gonna get murdered on a fb marketplace deal but, when I meet the person theyre always super nice. I also met a really nice persons when I bought my original xbox and various other CRTs.
The most expensive crt I ever bought was an olympus oev 143 pvm for $380. The guy was a former video work professional who owned several PVMs. Nice guy again but my pvm suffered a vertical collaspe shortly after buying it. I'm currently sorting out the repairs for it.

>>10981982
>PVM

Ah, yes. Finally, you can play the same way just as you were little! Gotta keep dem pixels sharp!

>>10982002
who hurt you

>>10982004
he is correct tho and no I am not him. we both know thats what you were about to post because you cant accept the harsh reality that people would agree with him.

>>10982002
Yea my curiosity got the best of me. The display was amazing for the one day that it worked. Hope I can fix her bros.

>>10981724
>>goes back to enjoying emulated video games
>not emulating on a CRT TV

>>10982012
The display of this PVM is better than any consumer CRT.. it really is. You have to see it to believe it. Poor people can seethe but they can also not afford a PVM.. I barely afforded mine desu but I knew it was something I wanted.

>>10975478
It's a Vatican City set. It bleeds naturally.

>>10982009
I don't care, even I kinda agree with him. There's an appeal to playing on a random consumer set with composite. I also like how PVMs look. There are pros and cons for each.

>>10977205
Cleaning up retro game stuff is all part of the process. I've bought game consoles that straight up had the controllers not working when I tried to use them. For me they've always just needed disassembly and cleaning to restore them to working condition. Use a spray like this amon all the controller ports, inside pcb of the controller. It'll be good as new aside from its original wear.. n64 controllers need the whole analog stick assembly replaced though. Replacements for those are on ali express.

>>10982036
I like consumer grade 15kHz monitors. Middle of the road.

>>10982092
neat. I've never seen one myself.

>>10973925
just no

the earlier models from the late 90s look similar but though they dont have hdmi they dont have the upscaling resampling interlacing bs the 2000s tv has which makes 2d consoles look like ass

also 32" is superior

100hz also rules out light guns,50/60hz is superior for all retro

100hz is only good for 360/ps3 era and who the f is playing those on a crt?

>>10982120
>100hz is only good for 360/ps3 era and who the f is playing those on a crt?
Not true, it suffers the same double-image problem.
Also true, 7th gen is best on 60Hz 1080p Plasma.

There's many WEGAs that don't have 100Hz or have it optional and can do native 240p without any scaling. I still prefer older Trinitrons though.

>>10982016
What model is this again? Is it good? I think I've been eyeing the same one, but in 29 inches.

>>10982219
KV-25X1. Yeah there's a KV-29X1 too.

>>10982243
I knew it. What region are you in? If you're in yurop, can it do NTSC? It should, right? Is it good overall? Service menu easy to use and adjust geometry? I've been eyeing one for a couple of months. Kinda weird that it's not selling. The 29 that is. Ideally I'd want a 25 but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

>>10982219
>Is it good?
It ticks all the boxes, for free or just a couple bucks, I wouldn't pass on it. I also have two that are slightly newer series too, still black consumer Trinitrons, but in storage right now, visually not much different, picture vise, also both 25 inch.

>>10982251
Europe, it's a KV-25X1E.
I haven't tested NTSC on this one, only used it with RGB, I know one of my others can (together with PAL60 also), I'm sure this should too.
Service menu is good, has all the most important picture and geometry adjustments.

You can see the service menu and options here in the manual, pages 28/29:

>I've been eyeing one for a couple of months. Kinda weird that it's not selling. The 29 that is. Ideally I'd want a 25 but beggars can't be choosers I guess.
As long as your table can hold it fine, 29 inches would be nice also.

That's kinda what I'm worried about too. That's why I wanted a 25. Got one of the newer grey flat 21 trinitrons that needs a recap somewhere and looking at that I feel 25 would be perfect.

>>10981959
I'm in my boxers, so dont fap too hard if you see me.
Finally hooked my Saturn and Genesis thanks to the RWY cables I ordered. No idea why I only had the Coaxials for both.

>finally found a Bang & Olufsen
>it's a MX 3500
>300 bucks
>no stand

Kinda want it but damn I want a bigger than 20 inch. Not sure if I should cop. 300 bucks is kinda steep too but I figure that's what they go for.

>>10978650
Flats have terrible geometry problems a majority of the time unless they're smaller, but even then, they have them

Unless you have a Sony too, they might not have the service menu settings to adjust certain settings either

>>10982378
I used to have a really nice B&O, but was left with my ex. Was basically free too. Oh well.

>>10982016
I couldn't figure out how to connect my laptop to a CRT

>>10982392
Where did you get stuck?

>>10982378
>>10982384
I always see people sucking off this brand, all their products have that Apple stink where they try really hard to be slick instead of any good.

There is this absolutely fuck huge Wega Trinitron i just spotted near my house in walking distance AND ITS FUCKING MOCKING ME!!! ITS TOO DAMN HEAVY! Never have I faced an adversary from the CRT clan with such a gravitational pull. My handcart broke long ago and my go-to hobo discarded shopping carts are no use, its too heavy to lift on and even if I tilt the cart up to push it in, its too heavy to pull up. It's going to FUCKING taunt me until I can find a way to get it. Curse that flat screen!!

>>10982442
Get it quick before someone else or before it rains. Some get lucky like you, others will pay up to the $300s. Trinitons are a holy grail as I'm quickly realizing.

>>10982452
I just spent an hour trying to get it on stable wheels to no avail. Waiting to hear back from a friend if he has a handcart I can use. My back up plan is to maybe get something to walk it up onto the cart I have, but at this point if someone else is able to move that shit, they can have it. For now I must rest.

>>10973915
Wegas are complete shit.

>>10982442
I had one of those TVs and it took 4 men to haul it away when we moved.

>>10982418
As much as I used the MX 4000, it was actually a really nice CRT.
In build quality, features and picture.

>>10982393
actually determining what the best method of connection between CRT and PC is confused me. along with what actually would be a quality product to buy to do it, as cheaper ones likely have a sort of delay that would make them worse off for gaming

>>10982560
What input on the TV (component, SCART, etc)? What specs is the laptop (CPU, GPU, does it have VGA out and/or DP out)?

>>10982384
>but was left with my ex
Fucking why? She probably trashed it.
>>10982418
>all their products have that Apple stink
True, but they're really good and are also slimmer, which is just simply nice. Good connectivity on them too. Sound is obviously great. Just gotta find a clean one without the rice tax.

>>10982442
Wouldnt a skate board do the trick unless it's like a 30+ inch?

>>10982618
>Fucking why? She probably trashed it.
I couldn't take all my stuff. Had to leave some, considering it was almost a free acquisition, I left it.
Nah, she wouldn't bother with that, most likely sold it cheaply or just gave away for pickup.

Can I get 240p on Retroarch? I also have a Wii but I don't want to play with a wiimote or a gamecube controller.

>>10982849
Yes.

>>10982849
basically what >>10982016 is doing

>>10982849
>>10982941
Yes, but you phrased the question wrong. It's not "240p on retroarch", its about "getting 240p on a PC". It's possible. Go search up information on that.

>>10983072
I was actually considering using my Steam Deck instead of my actual PC.

>>10983102
>steam deck
All of the conventional advice for 240p pc output is using a old card with vga out so you won't find anything that way.
You'll need to google the HDMI super resolutions + VGA converter then convert that into whatever conventional tv analog signal you want method

>>10983072
>its about "getting 240p on a PC". It's possible.
that's what >>10982016 is

>>10979829

>>10983109
HDMI or better DP (DP capable USB-C counts too) to VGA or even later GPUs that still had VGA or DVI-I and then VGA to RGB, most will accept super resolutions of 240p at 60Hz, rest is software

Extraordinary synchronicity. My brother found this exact 27 inch Trinitron at a yard sale yesterday. Lucky bastard managed to snatch it for 20 bucks. We had a smaller, older Trinitron (about 12 inches) that we had been using but the newer one BTFOs it hard. Gonna trade in the old one at a local shop and try to get a SNES and several games for it, wish me luck bros.

>>10984651
keep both and become a cool crt hoarder, like me

AWWWWW FUUUUUK YEA, through the combined efforts ingenuity, physics and a discarded Walmart shopping cart, I managed to load this fat fucker up and roll it to my house. Casing got scuffed up, but screen is still scratchless. Now for it to sit in my garage for half a year till I get ballsy enough or a 2nd helper to move it into the house.

>>10981191
my hello kitty dreamcast which I modded has the plastic fan so its probably va1 right?

>>10985709
See the link in >>10981594
>>10985671
Come on bro you scratched it all the fuck up...

>>10985789
Okay thank god I would have died if I'd invested in all the mods only to found out it was a ticking timebomb. I should have a the fanmade VM2 this summer. Will be nice to be able to store more than 5 saves

>>10985789
Most of the physical dirt and damage was like that when I found it, though I may have caused the scratches on the side during my first moving attempts. It was out for trash anyway, so its atleast spared from the rain or further damage now. Long as the screen is fine and internals working, im good with it. I will spiffy it up down the way.

>>10985792
List mods and how much your kitty cost and where you got it from. I'm pretty jelly I want one too. I like the sakura whatever one but that's super duper rare.
>>10985671
I hope the yoke didn't get yoke'd while tossing it aorund like that.

Noctua fan

Bluetooth-controlled LED color mod
It's the pink one and it wasn't cheap at £400 but condition was like new and it came with the keyboard, box and everything

JAV on CRT?!

>>10985958
Naaah this isn't the blue one???

>>10986229
I wanted blue but there were none from local sellers

>>10986239
Here you go. It's brand new and even VA01 :)

>>10985671
I realize you had limited options but it should be noted the CRTs prefer to be transported face down ass up. When you turn a CRT face up you run the risk of debris falling back onto the filament creating a short. If this happen you can sometimes dislodge the short by turning the tube face down and gently tapping the neck.

>>10973925
Tvs like this (late 90s/2000s) are special and lasted only a flash before plasma, which are the same way. It's funny how I knew I was looking at something special when I was there in the 00s, now I know I'm looking at crap. Tv tech is real era defining. You remember the cozy plasma heat and multicolored pixels of crt/plasma up close. Todays tvs are horseshit and make everything look like dogshit. What's next will be bullshit to an even higher degree.

I even seek out tv shows and movies that prominently feature televisions/monitors from that era like Jurassic Park, Copy Cat and The Bone Collector because they're so nostalgic

>>10989006
> It's funny how I knew I was looking at something special when I was there in the 00s, now I know I'm looking at crap.
Well if you ask the average millennial on /v/ though, they'll tell you they always hated CRTs with a passion and want to violently destroy them. I'd like to know what exactly creates a minority thinker like you

>>10981598
What was the biggest crt?

>>10989028
Sony once made a 43 inch CRT that weighed 500 pounds but its virtually impossible to find
Sony and Mitsubishi separately made a variety of 40 inch CRTs and you might have a chance of finding one of those

>>10989028

Higher IQ and a sega genesis. They were snes fags. Lol

I had a RCA with a wooden frame around it. Not sure of the model and it may have been made in the 80s. I spent a LOT of time in front of it and loved it. The Nanny looked hot and not so jewy, ALL the women looked better because it was fuzzy and you couldn't see their pimples. That's why today's males are gayer and less masculine than ever - they've seen women in ultra HD and in closeups none the less. I've never heard of millennials hating them... Not irl anyway.

>>10989071
you know where else you can see women in ultra HD? By going outside.

>>10973915

So the screen size on that around the size of a 55" 16:9 TV in 4:3 mode but in 1989?

DAMN!

>>10989895
It was also prohibitively expensive and prohibitively heavy.

>>10982378
>>10982384
my b&o was $120 without stand, came with remote but the little screen on it doesn’t work. I happen to live in probably the best place to get a b&o, and they’re still not overly common. $300 seems a little steep for an old mx3500, but they are rare so I could understand, especially if the condition is great.

pic is mx8000

in 2006 when i got the 32 inch version of that television

anything above 13 inch is too big, and people put fucking 13 inches at absurd prices, it pisses me off.

Oh yeah, I remember the remote with the screen, mine had one too.

I saw a 34'' in marketplace for about the same money, but it's pretty far away from my place. Literally would spend more bringing that mastodon home than buying it. Does it worth? Be honest please.
