The PVM L series says it supports 720p at 60hz.
But the 20" bvm's don't cant support that as its beyond the resolution of the aperture grille.

Would this make these sets better for 16:9 viewing?

>>1989116

What emphasises this better than an anime from 2003?

So, my old CRT's audio died, and now i'm looking for new one.
I live in Europe, but getting my first ntsc-j console, so i need support for 60hz too and size would be 26"-28", any recommendations?

>someone just bought the PVM i was intending to order this week

you fucking faggot i swear to god if i ever find who you are i'll kick your teeth in with the force of a thousand trinitrons

>>1989116
You need to convert your anime to like 288p lossless h.264 24000/1001fps then run the PVM at like 47.999999 Hz so there are no frames doubled

>>1989116
Ooh, I've been watching a lot of older anime on my Trinitron lately. Hooked up my old laptop with the S-video out and it looks really good, despite the fact that it's being scaled by different factors at once. I've found KMPlayer (the old one, not the new malware-ridden version) is best for CRTs, since you can account for overscan by zooming out (if desired), plus advanced subtitle control, including position.

Throwing this out there again, as I have in the last few threads:

When will you guys make a proper OP with a pastebin?

>buy universal remote to change settings on trinni
<cant figure out the well worded but broken english instructions

I'm too much of a pussy to fix the convergence on my TV, are there still TV repairmen who do this sort of thing? And even if there are, will they think I'm crazy for caring? And would it even be worth the money on a standard early 2000s Trinitron?

>>1989340
Whenever I feel that I have sufficient enough writing ability to do so.


>>1989369
Some areas may still have TV repair men knowledgeable in CRTs, but they're growing few and far between and can be quite pricey.

>>1988547
Could be CRT cataracts, basically some stuff (like glue, for holding a another glass plate) rots around the CRT first and maybe it gets to the center.
This issue is more common on very ancient CRTs.

>>1989352
Use a smart phone m8

>288p lossless h.264 24000/1001fps

What?

>>1989383
he's spouting nonsense

converting video at 288p is terrible on PVMs due to rotational velocidensity altering the image

>>1989116
What do you use to watch stuff on your CRT? I tried to use my Wii to play some Sentai but stutters like hell.

>>1989390

Tried an Xbox with XBMC?
I'm going to try once my cables arrive.

>>1989392
I can't find a fatbox anywhere. I was thinking of picking up one for retroarch and because 360 backwards compatibility is shit but for now I just stick to my wii for emulation needs.

I could use my 360 but no RGB and I'm not sure how it would look.

>>1989397

I hear the Xbox isn't very good for emulation. While the Wii does 240p, the lowest the Xbox does is 480i.
Same problem on the Wii U which is very disappointing, considering it could make a great emulation box.

So is the best way to watch RGB output DVD using a chipped PS2?

>>1989402

Is there any way do do it without a physical mod, such as with FreeMCBoot?

>>1989401
Huh, I thought it did lower resolutions than that. In that case I don't have that much of a reason to get one to begin with besides a couple of games that don't work on the 360.

>>1989402
I didn't think about that. I can use FMCB or my chipped PS2. Might be a little hard to get everything right for it. What would I need to convert all my episodes to? AVI?

>>1989409

I can't speak from experience since I haven't modded mine yet.
I only have one for the 6th gen multiplats and handful of exclusives. No 360 yet, unfortunately.

>>1989378
Yeah, you're only gonna get cataracts on VERY old sets (late 60's and prior).

>>1989402
Pretty sure that RGB DVD out just doesn't work, even on a chipped PS2.

>>1989402
Why would the PS2 need to be modded?

>>1989454

The PS2 forces its component output mode to YPbPr when playing a DVD.

>>1989414
It's worth looking into.

>>1989454
Damn that looks good.

>>1989457
And a modded ps2 doesn't?

>>1989457
Oh. Yeah you're right. I guess one could always buy a good transcoder. I bought one for one of my setups.

>>1989380
i dont think my phone has infrared ?

>>1989459

What's worthwhile on a 360? I hear it got a fair few shmups.

I hear some modchips remove that limitation.

>>1989454
Are Ikegami's Aperture Grill or Shadow Mask?

>>1989464
well there's emulators\retroarch but no online

>>1989467
Pretty sure it's shadow mask.

>>1989467

They're the best shadow mask monitor manufacturer.

>>1989464
Well, it's good for multiplats, shumps, XBLA games and some emulators too, maybe media playback. I like my 360 but if you want modern games it might be better to get a PS3. Mod them either way, 360 has a really really decent custom firmware.

>>1989471
>>1989475
Danke kong.

>>1989478

I have a PS3 already, but I'm anxious about modding it because I've not got any experience with hardware modding and I'd need a hardware downgrader.
What exclusives/definitive versions should I know about?
