So I "borrowed" this piece of shit for some retro gayums. No remote so options are limited but I can switch the input.

This fucker flickers like a sonofabitch and I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow reduce that? I am not willing to open up the actual emitter/crt projector/whatever but what can I do?

It also emits a high pitched hum.

forgot to mention it makes my braon hurt cause I'm high and posting this outside l in assblasting cold.

It's PAL so maybe just 50Hz refresh rate. I dunno.

Shit's broken, throw it out and scavenge up another one. CRTs are considered garbage nowadays, you can get a lot of them for free.

50Hz is pretty flickery, that's just how it is. There were later model TVs in europe that frame doubled to get 100Hz instead, much less flicker but often adds delay and breaks muh scanloins effect with retro consoles.

You're right about that. Nothing you can do about the flickering.

Even shitty ruskie shit like that is likely multi system. Try a game at 60hz and see how it looks.

50hz mode is flickery by design as I recall. how people in europe dealt with tat on top of some games playing 13% slower is beyond me.
