Why do pajeets love doing this so much?

>>8006563
For views I imagine.

>>8006563
Supposedly a lot of Indian languages are mutually intelligible in spoken form at least but they have different writing systems.

>>8006563
Or when its in English but it takes you a minute to realize because of their disgusting accent

>>8006672
They could just write the titles in Indian using the Latin alphabet.

how is there no addon that filters all poojeet videos

Bros, I got a line on a clean 36fv300. Does it live up to the hype?

Almost done the RGB mod on my Sony. Just working out a few sync issues on my end

bros for the first time IN MY LIFE I have seen the fabled gigantic CRT on the side of the road. Not just any side of the road, but my neighbor's house specifically. He was trashing one of those late 90s gigantic home theater CRT tvs that I grew up on in my old house. But I live in Florida and by the time I had walked outside it had been raining for 6 hours and the garbage people were like 30 minutes away from the house. Plus the TV weighed a shit ton. By the time I came back the TV was gone. And there was no crt general thread for me to complain in. I want to kill myself.

>>8007212
If it was over 36 inches it was either an xbr800 or a rear projection tv, so nothing of value

>>8007281
But it was like my childhood tv and I wanted it ;____;

>>8007281
Not necessarily. Mitsubishi made a 40”, but they’re really rare.

India has a MASSIVE Youtube revenue/scam system going on. Thousands of content creators, all with click bait material, all getting that sweet Google Adsense by playing the system

All your Instagram bots, Twitter "Pay for likes" programs and more; all from India.

>>8007442
I wish I had taken a picture but I was already getting beat down in the rain. If I had to guess it was 40" but I obviously didn't measure it or anything. It had a large wooden frame, with what appeared to be two composite inputs and one component input. Brand started with a T I think. My neighbor is loaded, frequently drives all over the state picking up weird shit from junk yards, thrift stores, Facebook market listing, etc. He's the kind of guy that has three trashed classic cars in his yard that he's fixing up. He already flipped one that he restored. I wouldn't doubt it if he had a good TV like this. He's also an insane audiophile. I'm almost insulted he didn't even ask if I wanted it considering we talk about this stuff. I'm gonna yell at him next time I see him.

1.4 BILLION people, all working dead end anglo jobs, of course they are going to try to figure out a way to brick the American money system

>>8007542
I mean a lot of them are doctors and shit too, but it's easier to outsource customer support to places where they have proportionately more wagies in their pool. The only reason they don't use Chinese people is because they're somehow even more incomprehensible or don't even bother learning English, at least that's what I saw at uni.
In any case enough of the thinly-veiled /pol/, did anyone else have a 14'' Matsui CRT as a kid and do they still use TVs from that brand? I had one and had my PS1 hooked up via SCART, always worked fine enough. Sold it years ago and thinking about buying it again for old times' sakes.

>>8006713
*Hindi. Also they have lots of different languages, many totally different from one another.

>>8007527
Was the screen a glass tube?

>>8007624
>many totally different from one another.
Then there's no point in having the title in English so as to be as mutually intelligible as possible because they will open the video and not be able to understand the Hindi being spoken.

>>8007281
A KV-40XBR800 is a absolute treasure. You don't know what you're talking about.

After waiting over 2 months, I finally got my BVM expansion board in the mail.
Got my two boys set up. A PVM-20M2MDE and a BVM-D20F1U, sitting on cheap Ikea coffee tables and hooked up to ten-year-old $50 PC speakers.
It's a shame how much the BVM outshines the PVM. The PVM was taken from a hospital and its age and use shows. It takes about 20 to 30 minute to fully warm up and reach appropriate brightness.
Still, it's great for consoles from the 4th gen and lower. Great scanlines.

Vertical rectangle chadrts' are better than cringe horizontal scanlines

>>8006563
it's not pajeets, youtube translates video titles

>>8009727
that honestly looks worse than a consumer CRT. look how fucking washed out and colorless that is. holy shit you people are retarded, I would never spend money on this trash.

>>8009762
It's my shitty phone camera, the whole picture looks crap.

>>8009762
not that anon but unless you have your camera properly, things can look washed out

>>8009767
camera set up*

>>8009762
>Twilight Princess
>Color

This is gonna sound retarded but I'm looking for a small light/lamp to light up the wall behind my CRT so I don't have to use my normal lights.
I want something that casts a soft warm light preferably with a dimmer option on it, something kind of like pic related.

Does anybody have any recommendations or lights they generally use?

>>8010357
They call them tv lamps, they used to be popular.

>>8009762
Not agreeing with the guy, but he has a point. A wornout PVM can look worse than a good SDTV,

>>8006414
Should I get a Sony Profeel? It's from 1980 and I read about all trinitrons built before 1990 have fire risk

>>8010957
Whats the connectivity? How's the audio? I would only get if the picture was above an average component set. It's old after all and these tubes can get really really tired.

>>8010974
I live in Europe so rgb scart obviously. Audio is external. They should almost be on Pvm level picture quality wise.

How was the retro gaming days in India? Could poos afford a Nintendo?

>>8010090
if you played it on a LCD it definitely looks washed out

>>8010357
I am using a cheap IKEA uplighter with a smart bulb, works fine for me

>>8010357
maybe use an LED light

Should I buy this $10 USD equivalent CRT? It seems to be a KTC 7002D 17" model, however I can't find much info about it online. It seems pretty good with a 1600x1200 max resolution with 85Hz. I'm planning to buy a HDMI to VGA cable too.

Should I take this gamble? How heavy would a CRT like this be? For reference ive carried a 17.5kg Yamaha subwoofer by myself before.

>>8011657
jesus fucking christ, how young are you? do you seriously not know what a standard PC monitor looked like/the size of it?

>>8011657
Yes, you should buy it.

>>8011657
Yes retard, why are you even asking? it's just $10.

>>8011657
The weight is not going to be an issue for a monitor that small.
Just get it.

>>8011769
Zoomer, ive seen a crt tv but I haven't used a crt monitor before.

>>8011819
>>8011794
>>8011772
Thanks so much. I'll buy soon as I'm busy with midterm exams.

I'm 54kg so I'm confident I can carry something like this.

>>8006414
Got this Sony KV-27FS12 from my dad as a birthday present. He knew I had been looking for a CRT for a while and I guess he just found this online or something, came with the original remote too.
It's a flat screen but I'm not too anal about that and aside from a little bit of screen sag in the center, it's in almost perfect condition. Got my PS2 and SNES hooked up with component and s-video respectively. Even got to the service menu and toned the shit out of the settings.
Got 3 modes now that I use depending on what I'm doing. Max sharp setting for 6th gen and on stuff, zero sharp for anything prior, then for tv and anime I put the slider somewhere in the middle. Wish my camera could capture the screen a little better, but honestly, I'm loving this thing.
Any hot tips for getting the best value I can out of this thing?

>>8011881
Are you a lady or a twink

>>8011881
Have you never picked one up? They're not THAT heavy

>>8011909
>Any hot tips for getting the best value I can out of this thing?
Yes, stop fucking about with settings and play games/watch shit on it

>>8011964
I'm a guy, kek
>>8012001
Never.. I tried to pick up a CRT TV once without bending my knees and it hurt a lot, couldnt even move it. However when I carried a subwoofer and AV receiver, I managed fine because I used my knees.
I'll try to do some exercises so I can lift it decently.

>>8011881
>I'm 54kg
You will never be a man.

>>8012048
I'm a fucking guy, but I'm underweight. I'm a skeleton, cunt

>>8011881
>54kg
Jesus how short are you. I'm 75kg and everyone says I look skinny

>>8012076
174cm.
I can see my bones jut out from my body when I laugh.

>>8012085
=(

>>8012074
I'm laughing tears. Thank you anon <3

>>8012105
Kek, thanks.
What's your experience been like with CRTs?

>>8012132
>CRTs
I will not live without them. Got 3 sonys, and one pentranic.

I picked up this 17” HP CRT monitor that runs like a dream. It was hardly ever used, and it’s been wrapped in plastic since LCDs came around. Beautiful at 1080p60fps. Unfortunately my only TV right now is a beat up Daewoo, but at least it has good input ports and no noticeable visual distortion.

>>8012320
Can you carry them just fine? How heavy are you and the CRTs?
How do I extend the life of one?

>>8012351
Does gsync/freesync work?
How much was it?

>>8011657
>I'm planning to buy a HDMI to VGA cable too.

>>8011909
>tv lamps

Just enjoy it and play Games on it. And watch old and cool Movies and especially lots of Anime.

Remember: CRT's are soulful little works of machinery. They are not like TFT/LEDs TVs and therefore don't have perfect Geometry. They are all unique. Unless there is a valid reason (like really fucked up Geometry), there is no need to google a service manual pdf on the internet and access the hidden service menu, where you can tinker with the geometry settings.

>>8012356
>Can you carry them just fine?
I've always been a strong dude. The limiting factor isn't weight, but how bulky they are. If i cant wrap my arms around them, that's the limit. You know those 90cm tubes. You need two guys for these.
>How heavy are you and the CRTs?
I have no idea.
>How do I extend the life of one?
With a CRT rejuvenator. Once the white goes dim, its time to rejuvenate.

>>8006414
what's the cheapest acceptable displayport to VGA converter I can mail order
alternately dvi-d to VGA if that works better or is cheaper

>>8008348
Not for retro

https://twitter.com/TubeTimeUS/status/1424106486163116032
apparently an open source crt that can drive any tube

No matter what I do, the white balance on my jvc is off. It appears blue-ish and dim. Seems like the static contrast ratio is underperforming too because attempts to fix the issue in the settings only results in a severely washed out image. Is this a sign of a dreaded H-K short (heating element)?

>>8013401
Thanks for your input. Realistically, I'll be buying the CRT around September.

>>8013649
I was wondering when they would get to this.

What is the line count on this CRT?

>>8013616
/vr/ is till 2006 so yeah it is....

>>8014047
That's what PC CRTs are for.

>>8014062
you can use both

>>8014042
Somewhat high.

I can't stop hoarding the curved Sony consumer CRTs. Once RGB modded they look so good, hell even on S Video they look great

>>8013616
Yes for retro.
Retro games are not limited to 240p.
And even if you did want to play those kind of games connect your PC and user shaders.
Yes, CRT shaders on a CRT. Please do not be one of those people who don't understand that concept.

>>8014062
PC CRTs are not 40".

>>8014031
Yup, this was an inevitability.

>>8013616
I want a HDTV CRT for all that heretical stuff /vr/ hates like texture packs and playing at multiples of internal resolution on 3d titles.

>>8010390
Thanks, I looked at these but these seem a little too ornamental for what I want. I don't really have a place to display the light, I kind of want to hide it. But thanks for the tip.
>>8011269
Yeah I might take an office lamp from work (we literally have dozens of them in a warehouse space for people to take home since we switched to WFH) and just put a nice, soft, high CRI bulb in it
>>8011285
or yeah alternatively I might grab one of those philips hue bars
it's a little faggoty imo to have the colored lights on the wall but if i dont want to "feature" the light, I could easily hide this and it's probably the most flexible option

thanks for the advice lads, I'll mull it over

What’s the best way to prevent my dandruff from getting inside the vents of my CRT? I was thinking of maybe using some plastic bags or tape, but I’m scared it will cause it to overheat. Also any way to keep my cat off of it? My cat likes warm electronics and last time she peed on my 3DO.

>>8014047
Only 2006 games, not 2006 systems. 7th gen still isn't retro, depressingly.

>>8014327
holy fuck that's terrifying. imagine it coming loose, falling off and crushing your skull open.

>>8014576
You're neglecting PC games and everything surrounding /vr/ that benefits from higher resolution.
You could play the Super Mario 64 PC port in 480p or 1080i on a HD CRT. Very soon OoT too.
Or Gamecube and PS2 games with higher internal resolution. Wouldn't Metroid Prime be nice like that?

I would also like to mention that 1080i at 60 fields per second is not the same as 30 frames per second. It is much smoother than that. You get 60 different fields of motion. Combing can be a potential issue depending on how fast the action in the game is.

>>8014653
>Or Gamecube and PS2 games with higher internal resolution.
Which will look like shit because the textures and 2d assets are still low resolution. Everything looks better at its original resolution on a proper display at that resolution.

>>8014327
>it's a little faggoty imo
you can use normal light colours

>>8013936
Try to score a 55CM Sony Hi Black trinitron. Best value for a the money. Plus with a few easy adjustments it comes close to a PVM in terms of picture quality. And they are still pretty much portable.

>>8014327
why is your tv on the ceiling?

>>8014327
>>8014638

>>8014638
>>8015718
fine, hows this?

>>8015146
It doesn't look like shit. I've done it.
Sometimes the full detail of the original texture couldn't be seen at original resolution. Although that is more of a 7th generation thing.
And there are texture packs for some games.

And if you did want to play in original internal resolution you can use shader effects to make a flattering image while still having a 40" screen on one of the most advanced consumer CRTs ever made.

>>8013713
which model do you have?

>>8013564
what kind of faggot crt nerd thread won't answer this question

Has anyone had good experiences with Dreamcast s-video cables?

Got one of those retro-bit ones a while back that has S-vid and composite on it but the improvement in quality over my existing composite was so minimal I'm inclined to believe it was one of those fake s-video cables.

My CRT has S-vid and component inputs, I do have a 15/31khz switchable DC scart cable that I used with an OSSC if I wanted to go the rgb2comp route but desu I'm not that interested in paying what those cost for a system I very seldom actually use.

>>8014638
If it's installed right you could probably hang off the bracket without any worry. I'm more annoyed with the absolutely atrocious wiring job

>>8015915
>shaders
Back to the Retroarch Discord with you!

>>8016631
>has S-vid and composite on it
Those cables are always dogshit. Buy a pure s-video cable. And not some shitty third party chinkshit. I only buy oem cables but I don't know how much are those for the DC.

>>8016631
Are you seeing any checkerboarding or lines with your s-video? Retrobit cables are okay for what they are but some people swear by the fact that if you get cable with a yellow composite cable alongside the s-video, all bets are off the table with quality. If you don't want to go down the rabbithole of getting OEM cables like what you intend with the Dreamcast cables, just buy any single s-video to s-video cable.

>>8006414
I'm finally picking up a good crt after searching in my small country for almost a year got my hands on a KV25FX30E Fucking fd trinitron wega.

>wondering why my rgb mod to my crt was causing extreme vertical blanking issues
>found the issue
>out of 1 of the 3 RGB grounding resistors I was supposed to remove, i fucked up and removed a resistor tied to vblank instead
big brain boy right here, thankfully it's not too hard to fix

>>8016819
Very nice, I recently found a kv32fv15 myself from some guy off craigslist

>>8016819
Mine has great colors but the geometry is pretty bad

Finished up RGB modding and replacing every cap on my 32 inch curved Sony. Just cleaning up the plastics, was really thinking about taking the tube out of the front frame to better clean but the tube being so heavy would make that really awkward and it be very likely i'd damage it. Spent a lot of time with a brush and a shop vac and got 99 percent of the dust and grime out.

Bought a lot of new old stock Sony flybacks, might replace that before I button it up. Not sure yet. Still gotta cut the back to mount the SCART hookup and blanking switch. Hoping to get another 25 years of service out of this TV

>>8014258
HDCRTs are great and don't let elitist weirdos tell you different.
Especially now that they just got Retrotink support apparently.
Do they have some lag?
Yeah.
Does 6th gen/480p content look fantastic on them?
Yeah.

>>8006414
More like /hrt/ general. OP is a fucking tranny faggot.

>>8015718
fucking deathtrap

>>8012351
>gsync
No.

Is Samsung SyncMaster 957 DF any good? Is there a specific way I should play games on him if he is?

>>8012074

>>8018313
Any Syncmaster CRT is good.
>Is there a specific way I should play games on him if he is?
VGA straight from your computer would be preferable over using adapters.

>>8018313
https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-syncmaster-957-df/

I would rate it as A+ for a PC CRT.
It is capable of very high resolutions and frame rates and has a very fine dot pitch. HD content will look amazing on it.
Retro stuff will look great with the use of shaders.

The fact it is a flat-screen CRT is irrelevant.

I'd snatch it up in a second if it was available.

>>8018313
>him

>>8012031
>>8013378
These are some hot tips, thanks, lads.
Also, how do you usually watch anime on your CRT television sets? Burn it onto some DVDs or try to hook up your PC to your screen? I've just been watching on old DVDs I've collected but I wanna watch some more of the niche stuff that they never sold in America.

>>8019264
I have an xbox.

>>8019264
I've got a ps3 that's connected through RGsB to pic related >>8019359

Is curved screen a meme, or actually worth getting for 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen games? I found a nice trinitron but its flat and I'm wondering.

>>8019624
>I found a nice trinitron but its flat
Go for it

>>8007470
I was watching some review of a bag or something on YouTube and this Indian man was talking while fiddling around with it on a white backdrop, but flies kept landing near his hands. Really took down that whole “cool techreviewer guy” thing he was going for.

Is there such a thing as a "lightweight" CRT? I'm getting the itch of playing my ps2 again but I also travel a lot, what would be the best option for me?

>>8020582
LCD EDTV, yes I'm serious

>>8019624
Unless they tried playing kickball with the fucking thing a flat tube probably won't have any geometry issues worth mentioning

>>8020582
9" PVM?

bros..

>moved from a small rural town to an actual city
>CRTs everywhere
>apartment is small
>broke as fuck, so broke that even a $10 TV is a pretty big expense
I think I'm gonna wait for something small to appear in the thrift stores (something <= 13 inches). All the shit I've seen so far is too damn big.

>>8020879
Get a free one if they’re everywhere

>>8020582
13 inch color tv from mid 2000s. Very nice, curved ones are usually lighter and smaller than flat tubes.

>>8014327
Get a RGBW light, either a smart light strip or a bulb. Phillips hue is a good brand, but expensive.

>>8021116
I think the problem for that anon is that the free one's tend to be fuckhuge units that the owners want somebody to provide the labor of removing.

>>8012001
yeah, I have a 20in CRT and while it was heavy, I could lug it by myself. The only problem was how bulky it is so it was a pain to grip

>>8011167
They used to import American consoles mostly and you'd find them + only bootleg games sourced from China in underground markets in places like Delhi. I bought my GB Micro from there like 15 years ago. Otherwise there was no gaming scene besides whatever shit was easily pirated on PC, might be different now but unlikely.

>>8019624
Meme, most have very poor connecitivity and the better ones are already failling apart by now or have been heavily used.

>>8014204
>>8018149
Lag. Digital CRTs are completely obsolete. Just use a nice OLED.

>>8021760
or a plasma

>>8021760
It's the truth you speak but they're not gonna wanna hear it brother

>>8021774
Plasmas are gonna just be the new hdcrts. Heavy, power hungry, outdated, laggy, sworn by for a very small niche of loyalists

>>8021787
nice bait

>>8008340
English is an Indian link language

It's a shame people write off CRTs entirely nowadays, games like Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers look fucking gorgeous on one.

>>8021843
You mean nice facts? It's the truth.

When configuring black level, should I just display a full black screen and turn the brightness down until the display isn't emitting any light?

>>8022003
just use your eyes lmao

>>8022003
How do you configure black lavels?

redpill me on HD CRTs

>>8022051
Not good for 240p content and they are laggy

>>8022073
so you're saying I shouldn't drive a hundred miles to go pick one up

>>8022081
find something better

>>8022003
Just make it until it's black lmao

>>8021923
Lag isn't an issue for most desirable plasmas. Weight and power consumption are high but are rather insignificant issues, especially for image quality. Outdated is just a buzzword.

>>8022003
Yeah, don't let the loss in black detail dissuade you. Retro games are made with that loss in mind.

>>8022003
Here's a free CRT fixer-upper. Take it — it's all yours friend :)

>>8021760
The lag is very small on HD CRTs. About 2 frames. This is fine unless you're going to use it as a tournament display.
OLED is nice but nothing compares to the CRT look.
>>8021774
Oh I'm paying attention to the used plasma market. Something I've always wanted to experiment with.

>>8022003
I've tried all kinds of test images and nothing works as well for me as finding several very nice clear and sharp photographs and then swapping between them while adjusting the brightness and contrast until I get the best looking picture possible averaged out among them with a bias towards contrast and having dark black.
I don't think this method will give you an accurate calibration but it will find the sweet spot for the maximum contrast your monitor can display without crushing anything important in dark areas.

Do anons have any experience taking their CRT to a repair shop?
The screen on mine won't turn on, but the standby light turns on when you push the power button.

>>8022302
Do you have a remote?
Just sounds like you need to press a channel button or power button while it’s in standby

>>8022349
I've tried it, but to no success, sadly.
The tv doesn't react to any button presses at all, besides the standby light when you push the power button twice.

>>8022302
I took mine in, and he charged me to diagnose it and then told me the price to fix would be the entire cost of the tv, and I'm pretty sure the diagnosis was wrong anyway. Going to discharge it tonight and have a look at it myself. Replace caps, and shit... I wouldn't bother is my point. Even if they do figure out what's wrong the cost to fix won't be worth it.

So I have a medium sized CRT that can receive component video, and I've wanted to hook it up to my modern PC to play old games, and watch anime, but given that I don't think I can output a 15khz signal, is there any reason not to get a PC CRT that supports higher resolutions that I actually can output, and then hook it up with a video adapter. Also, maybe a stupid question but does it matter which output I use? My GPU has HDMI, Displayport and DVI-D out,

>>8022154
what's the lowest input lag on a good plasma? like 20+ms? i like the plasma look but in basically every measurable aspect re: image quality and general performance, today's OLEDs blow away any ZT60, kuro etc. outdated isn't a buzzword, it's an applicable adjective. there isn't a plasma that supports any of today's top of the line video or audio formats, so yeah, they are outdated

>>8022661
pc crts are more rare now than tvs and yeah you need analog signal for an analog screen duh. New graphics cards don't have analog anymore you have to buy a used one from a few gens ago like a 980

im still fresh with crts, but is pic related worth picking up? it has a hunchback which why i asked here, although it's not glass. been sitting in my parents basement and have been considering taking it since they wanna trash a perfectly fine tv

model: kds r50xbr1

>>8023521
anon...

>>8023521
additional note: plans are to play with wii/ps2/360 component and a dreamcast

>>8023521
>>8023527
>kds r50xbr1
That’s not a CRT anon

>>8022302
I took mine to an old boomer my dad used to take his TVs to, he fixed it for a 6 pack lmao

>>8023521
That's a Rear projection tv. Might be cool to tinker with but it isn't a crt

>>8023674
Free's free after all. It really would be best for 1080p native output though. PS3/360 and onward

>>8022419
Perhaps a short? Does it make a quiet noise every few seconds, as if it’s turning on, then back off, then back on?

>>8023715
Even for free it’s probably not even worth the effort of picking it up.

>>8023521
For your use case it could be kinda cool but it's not going to look great.
That said, it's an XBR and those things don't grow on trees y'know? Probably interesting and it's only 95lbs so it's not even that heavy.

>>8023816
It's a 50" SXRD.
Under good lighting conditions it can look very good.
I'd take it just to see what I could do with it and to have the experience with it.

For 1080p content it will look superb after proper calibration.

oh sorry, it's not my listing. Was just browsing and found it.
Are you in philly? I am and I've been keeping an eye out for a PVM that isn't price gouged. Have you found any noteworthy scores?

>>8024749
It's not "extremely" worse when it comes to playing games.
>>8024909
If you're going to use it for a desktop monitor just get a 21" 4:3 monitor.

>>8020879
Good luck. No stores around me sell small TVs. If it's not >20 inches they assume people don't want them.
Except for a karaoke machine I saw at goodwill. Almost considered swiping it to pull the crt out of it for kicks, but I have too many projects as-is.

It's doable if you account for overscan but it would still be shit outside of games

My slightly younger brother has been using a CRT TV he got somewhere to play Laserdiscs because he's become obsessed with the format for some reason while I'm perfectly happy with raw pixels emulating 90s consoles on my laptop. We're both fucking zoomers, he wasn't even born in the 20th century.

So I keep reading guides saying that you should disable "AXNT"(Red push) on Wegas. I did this and recalibrated the grey scale for a 65k white point, but the colours seem so lifeless now. Are Wegas made with 93k+red push in mind?

>>8025183
>while I'm perfectly happy with raw pixels emulating 90s consoles on my laptop.
Connect a system to your brother's CRT and see what you're missing.

>>8025141
Yeah, but you're probably using an LCD tv which will after turning off as much image processing as you can will have sharp, clear text like a monitor.
Using a CRT HDTV for a desktop monitor full-time is a recipe for a migraine.

But if you just want to use it to play PC games it would be an excellent choice.

>>8025152
The JVC is worth $50 imo.

>>8024696
How much lag there is with the switch? What did you use? Is that one of those crt's with HDMI?

>>8025565
lag is a hebrew meme, don't fall for it.

>>8025589
You obviously haven’t felt the difference in zero lag

are these things getting any cheaper? should I just nab one while i still can?

>>8025141
Yes but low shitty refresh rate, crt monitors have high refresh rates, but your tv will be 60hz

>>8025295
480p had very sharp readable text. The problem was that it was fucking 480p so three and a half words fit onscreen at any given moment

>>8025881
They've always been cheap if you know where to look. Each CRT you get is one that's staying out of a landfill.

>>8025919
The hd crt scales everything to 1080i, you're never getting sharp text

>>8026298
Fuck what everyone says, N64 looks great on a CRT

Most consumer sets can be easily RGB modded, no reason to throw anyone out unless the tube is smoked

>>8024962

If you really have no money but you still want to enjoy a big screen, these RP tvs might be a great choice. I've heard that many of them have phenomenal speakers equipped. I'm tempted to get one just to play around with just out of curiosity

What goes into modding RBG or S-video inputs onto a CRT anyway?

Is it like, you have a composite only model of a TV but there's a version that had RGB so you can just swap already existing parts in, or are you actually modding the hardware inside the TV to take RGB?

Glad to hear it anon. Get to modding, and enjoy your games.

>>8026315
>The hd crt scales everything to 1080i
I don't think this is true. I think most of them can do at least 480p (which is really cropped 540p internally).

Some HD CRTs have an HDMI input and I think sending 1080p or real 1080i over that should come out looking pretty sharp after turning off the image processing features in the service menu.

>>8025152
Yeah, I can still find them on craigslist occasionally. But they're usually the same price as the ones you posted with "GAMING TV" prominent in the title.
atm I'm more interested in a 5" color crt, but I have to fix the 25" one I have here next to me before I go getting another...

>>8025152
>>8027542
Just rechecked and apparently someone must've bought every CRT in the area, because craigslist is completely cleared out. I'm not even in a low population area. Weird.

>>8027536
Mine would do 480p, yes. It was also 16:9. It was basically perfect for the Wii, shit looked so good on it. It also handled 1080i content really well. I would have loved to have given BOTW a spin on it at least once. MK8 and Smash WiiU looked great.

For me, using a CRT is all about nostalgia and authenticity. SCART/RGB/PVM's are a neat novelty, but neither me nor my parents knew what the fuck any of that crap was 20 years ago, and I feel like it would be way too much time/money/resources to mod all my consoles to get the best image quality out of them even if I did get a PVM or something.

What I like to do during the day while I'm working on something is play an old TV broadcast from archive.org or ToonamiAftermath through an old Roku connected to a VCR via RCA which then connects to my TV through RF. Yes it's pretty retarded but it's comfy as fuck and makes it feel like it's still 2004 or something.

>>8029082
it's retarded because you're daisychaining like four unnecessary devices

>>8029098
The point is to make the video coming from the Roku look like an actual cable broadcast. Outputting directly from RCA looks too crisp.

>>8029082
I definitely knew what s-video was in 2001 and rgb for sure by 2004. There have always been people who wanted to get their stuff looking the best it can on their screen. It was more necessary even before the HD era to get good cables etc, it doesn't really matter anymore with hdmi

>>8018532

Should I calibrate him in some way? I'm really tried to research the issue but can't find anything about the monitor. I will mostly place retro games.

I RGB modded my Sony that had at best a S Video connection. Depending on the TV you have a few options on how to do it. I did the OSD Mux type, for my TV the hardest part was soldering on to surface mount resistor pads. The rest was working out the correct resistors to use to bring the rgb singel into spec to look right. I crimped dupunt pins on the end of the rgb lines of both my input into the TV and on the female scart socket I used and just kept messing around with resistor values with a brightness scale on TV (used resident evil on the ps1 to show a brightness scale). My resistors did match anyone else's value for the record so trail and error are needed.

>>8029082
My dad was a home theater nut, even in the late 90s my TV had at least S Video with hookups to match. I'm sure my childhood NES and TV were composit or maybe rf but that was the early 90s and I have very little memories of that

>>8029391

>For me, using a CRT is all about nostalgia and authenticity. SCART/RGB/PVM's are a neat novelty, but neither me nor my parents knew what the fuck any of that crap was 20 years ago,
Okay.
But please don't be one of those people that insists this was the experience for everyone else.
Or that the only reason to use a CRT is for nostalgia reasons.
I know you didn't say any of these things but your posts reminds me of a lot of people who are very stubborn about the subject.

>>8029313
What are the various options given to you in the OSD menu?

You probably don't want to fiddle with any kind of custom RGB settings and should just choose 9200k or 6500k. From there you just need to adjust contrast and brightness.

>>8029396
If you played many arcade or PC games in the 90s those would have been in RGB.

Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3 always looked so crisp in arcades because it was RGB.

>>8030642
I'm sure I played them in arcades but I don't have any specific memories. I RGB mod every TV I come accros even if I'm jyust gonna turn around and sell it.

I found this Toshiba cf13g22. Only has coaxial port. Were mid 90s Toshibas any good? Should I bother with this or mod it? Or should I just try to sell it to someone hopped up on the current retro hype.

Mod it, then sell it.

>>8030967

Would the Dreamcast + VGA combo look that much better on a CRT monitor? I'm pretty impressed with the visuals on games like DoA2 after using a cheap third party cable, especially since those fucking HD retrovision cables dont seem to be ever coming out dev hell, but I wonder if that pairing would look that much better than it already does on a standard 1080p monitor with VGA input.

>>8031305
for sure.
right AR, motion clarity, way better black levels

>>8022161

they are 3 bars in the lower corner. ar they supposed to be visible or not? because if I turn the brightness down to the point of them not showing, I feel the picture is too dark.

Is it worth RGB modding a Trinitron that has component inputs?

>>8031808
RGB to component cables or converters are an option now, and are much more straightforward.

Hello I've read a few wiki pages on CRT info for different models but I have one I can't find info on. Its a Sony Trinitron model number KV-27S45. Anyone got any information on this big boy? Thank you in advance

>>8032306
That seems odd to me, but i don't really understand it. If you have a scart cable in your console, which connects to an adapter, to a component cable, how exactly does this signal differ from just using a component cable straight from console?

>>8032534
Beautiful. What model?

>>8032659
Tell us some more anecdotes about your times with CRTs.

>>8032534
I wanna suck your cock so bad

>>8032735
It's a consumer grade Trinitron that would be excellent for anything sixth generation and earlier.
I think it should have s-video but not component, and s-video on this should be able to produce a very nice and vivid picture.
A good score that will only go up in value over the years.

I would not worry about messing with the service menu or trying an RGB mod.

>>8032907
Here is your manual:

https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0006211M.pdf

>>8032912
And here is the service manual:

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/159688/Sony-Trinitron-Kv-27s40.html


The tube in your television is part number 8-733-873-05

and the model is CRT29NX

I can't find much information on this tube but it is probably a consumer grade tube with about 500 to 600 TVL. This is a good thing for /vr/ imo.

>>8032912
>>8032928
>>8032907
Bro youre a god. Thank you so much for all the information.

>>8032861
Component is ypbpr which is a lossless transcoding of rgb that grandfathered in old broadcasting signals (the 'y' or green signal is the same as a broadcasted black and white signal). They're similar signals but incompatible directly. Many old consoles can output rgb but not ypbpr

>>8032534
nice crt. Just saw some guy trying to sell one all beat up and *untested* for $600. that's fucked up

>>8033352
The cube PVMs are the most sought after so he'll probably get it.

If a tv only outputs 480i, but has component cables, what's the point?

>>8033597
To be able to display component video, which has superior video quality even at 480i.

>>8033597
spoken like someone who's never seen the difference

>>8033597
Over what?
S-Video?

>>8033703
I haven't recently. I remember using progressive scan on my gamecube when I was ten and my dad bought my component cables.
>>8033625
Oh ok, sounds good. I'm trying to figure out the best way to play gamecube and wii gen games on this wega I have, and everyones been going on about RGB so I thought I'd get a RGB to component, but then I find out NTSC wii doesn't even output RGB, so I'm just doing component, but then I was under the impression component cables only help when you're using 480p because that's what I remember from 15 years ago but I was young and didn't really know any better,

>>8031804
Rightmost bar should be fully showing, 2nd bar should just barely be showing. to adjust hue and colour, turn the red and green guns off on your crt and adjust hue and colour until all the top bars are vertically uniform.

>>8033746
the only reason to get comp 2 RGB or vice versa is for what inputs your device can use, it's mostly for CRT workaround for SCART

>>8032659
>>8032895
+1 for boomer videographer stories pls

>>8033708

>>8031808
No.
The difference is so small as to be placebo effect unless you're zooming in on test patterns.

Would getting HD Retrovision cables for my Wii and PS2 be worth it if I already have generic component cables for both? Is it a substantial upgrade?

>>8034270
do you get noise on your other ones?

>>8034271
It looks like straight vertical lines wobble/crawl slightly, especially in 480i, but I don't know if that's signal noise or something to do with the TV itself? Happens on both Wii and PS2.

>>8034280
anything like this?

I can't stand seeing games from the PS2 era and earlier on anything but a CRT, it just feels wrong

>>8030627
I mean no offense to people who actually did have high-end A/V back then, just that they're lucky to have had access to that and that for me, the shittier video quality of RF just adds to the soul, since that's what I grew up with. Most of the shitty consumer CRT's we had when I was a kid were RF only, if we were lucky they'd have one set of RCA jacks on the back but never S-Video, VGA, or component.

Just got a circa 1974 Trinitron KV-1730R 17 inch set for just $25 in great working order. Very well built in a 3/4 inch plywood cabinet, over 60 pounds. Ton of adjustment pots marked on the back with access holes, which is neat.

Sony really built them to last in the good old days.

>>8035669
Over $3000 adjusted for inflation. It used solenoids to mechanically turn the knobs with the remote.

>>8035669
>>8035679
is there a handle on top?

>>8035669
Does this have composite input?

>>8034694
Bigger is better imo. I had no issues playing games on 36" CRTs when I had them, and I plan on eventually going back to that size or even bigger. One of these days I'll track down an AM-4201R.

>>8035784
RF screws (pre dates coax being common) only.

>>8035820
If you want to get higher picture quality you can send a signal over the air for it to pick up. OTA SDTV is about equivalent to composite video quality.

>>8035669
How's the picture?

>>8024925
>>8024962

I'm also in Philly but have not found anything nice on FB Marketplace or CL. Nothing good looking.

Lmao yeah that's the struggle. We have it rough in Philly

>>8035934
I was able to find a heavy ass Mitsubishi CS-2671R in my neighborhood. But this is way too big for my apt. Guess I just need to find a nice 13" pvm.

Yeah I found a fuck off heavy 32 in. Wega Trinitron in some nice neighborhood and a mediocre Toshiba I found in the Whitman plaza goodwill.
At this point ANY pvm would be a holy grail for me.

>>8034694
absolutely. I recently moved from a 27 inch to a 32 inch tube and I enjoy it much more.

>>8006414

>>8035919
What sort of CRT are you looking for?

>>8035974
I think you may be putting the PVM up on a pedestal a bit too much.

Toshiba made some very good CRTs and if it was one of the last generation curved Toshibas with component input that is right up there with a PVM in desirability imo.

I WOULD THINK SO

I bought a sony WEGA CRT (mainly due to component video) the model is KV-29FS110

Composite stuff like NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1 looks great.

but PS2 looks pretty bad, its like flickery and looks like it has low refresh rate. also its missing the scanlines.
Apparently from what ive gathered, its because the PS2 outputs a 480i signal which makes the signal look much less good, as it doesnt have scanlines and the image looks flickery, but some games actually get output at 240p (Megaman X collection for example)

Is there any way to force the PS2 to strictly output 240p? Hardware or software?

>>8036735
>he fell for the scanlions

>>8036735
Just about every PS2 game is designed around 480i/p except for a few arcade ports.

>>8036735
>Is there any way to force the PS2 to strictly output 240p? Hardware or software?

i think you can make it do something like that with the retrotink 5x and MAYBE with the gbs control

>>8036735
>but PS2 looks pretty bad, its like flickery and looks like it has low refresh rate
completely depends on the game, usually the flickery games have an option in the settings

>>8036909
its like you can kinda see lines going upward if that makes any sense.

>>8036913
You have a good crt, before starting to reinvent the wheel make sure you get a good quality set of component cables
https://www.retrorgb.com/playstation2.html

>>8036939
I think i can mess around with GSM to force a 240p signal, but i will have to kind of guess around the actual values that fit the size of my screen. I managed to make it work but it looks kind of squashed to a smaller 4:3 that leaves black bars on the side.

Cables might help i'd guess?

>>8036913
yes, like FFXII has a deflicker option, it's usually in games with odd internal resolutions

>>8006428
have a good day

I've been wondering about my PVM-14N6U.
This model of PVM has RGB inputs, but they're only RGB, not component. But theoretically, could madman do something like an IC replacement or custom firmware allow it to support component? It already supports sync on green, so maybe all it needs to know is how to interpret color? I'm talking out of my ass but I wonder if it could be done.
Also to anyone who finds a PVM-14N5U, even though they don't have RGB BNC connectors they are extremely easy to mod for it. Sony even left the damn holes for the plugs behind the big back sticker, lol.

Just bought myself a Sony KV 9PT20 off ebay, its a 9inch Composite+Mono, but its the TV I had during my childhood 25 years ago.

Its my first CRT since then, and I am gonna use it for my Softmodded Wii and PS2.

Gonna use it on my desk, hopefully it fits

newbie eurofag here, i want to try connecting a PC to a TV CRT
Would picrel work out of the box? I assume just getting some adapter to move the signal to SCART would be enough, or do i need some wierd 15 khz thing? i dont know what it means but ive seen it mentioned

>>8037407
wrong pic lol

Unreleated to the guy two posts above, newbie Amerifat with a similar goal of connecting a PC to a CRT TV I just got.

I'm actually already able to do so, using the S-Video output from my graphics card, but the output looks a little strange, and I'm limited on the available resolutions.

Am I correct in the assumption that I should be able to just hook up a DMS-59 to VGA adapter, then a VGA to Component cable to my graphics card and use crtemu's drivers and applications to force it to output whatever component signal I want to my TV?

I'd imagine just using the s-video would be a bit more ideal, going straight from graphics card to TV, but I can't find any information on that kind of setup.

>cube pvm most sought after
do you mean the pvm-2030? If so, no they're not. The high tvl 20L5 is easily the most sought after pvm model. The pvm-2530 big boy model of the 2030 is obviously more desirable than the 2030 but both models have limited inputs and only 560tvl.
It does look like little slice of heaven guy's monitor is a 2530, though; and that's cool.

>>8036735
I wouldn't really recommend it because launch PS3s are trash but anyways I'm using one over component to play PS2 games and it looks very good, plus you get anti aliasing. If you have a cfw backwards compatible PS3 it's worth checking out

>>8036278
not bait. I genuinely enjoy the larger size. It helps that the newer set is in better working order.

Found this guy on the curb during my run. Came back later to pick it. It’s an RCA F27650. Looks and works great, 27” SD, has component, composite, s-video input, loud stereo speakers, and has this weird “Xbox Ready” logo in the bottom right corner and has an Xbox V-Port I’m not really familiar with.
I’d keep it around, but I already have an FW900 and 20L5 and not really trying to hoard them. Gonna clean it up and see if I can find it a good home. I just didn’t want it to end up in the dump or have some crack heads get to it.

>>8037407
you need to do a lot of reading and get lucky for this to work. google crtemudriver

you can't get your graphics card to output component. you can output rgb and then transcode it.

I was referring to any cube model. I think the 2530 would be the most sought after of all (but personally I would want the 3230).
However, maybe I'm behind the times. It does seem like the 20" sizes are more popular with the younger crowd.

I think the 20L5 and other high TVL PVMs are memes and the the discerning enthusiast is more interested in the lower TVL PVMs like the cubes.

It would seem to be easier to just convert component to RGB with an exterior converter.

RE: connecting PC to CRT television

I think the Quadro graphics cards from Nvidia should be investigated more for this. They don't have the restrictions on custom resolutions that the GeForce series cards have. And they still support analog output.

Some may say they are expensive, but that's not exactly true. Even if you had to spend $200 on one I don't consider that "expensive" from a hobbyist point of view.

here is an old thread about the subject

>>8039458
The profeel is the perfect option. The kv-25xbr also has the same tube I believe, and rgb

>>8037204
You'll get an image about the same size as a windowed emulator on 24" computer lcd

>>8037090
just get a converter like what this guy said:

>>8039465

>>8039535
The interest in 9" PVMs has been a little strange to me.

You can get a 240p image that size by playing in a window in 640x480 mode on a PC CRT.

>>8039549
my choice in this specific CRT is because my limited space, Pic related its my desk. and because nostalgia.

I moved back with my parents until this COVID shit blows over, once I get my own place again, I will have a dedicated corner where I can get a 13inch screen or higher.

Thanks for the help, I was thinking about it wrong, I just assumed "VGA is analog, it should be easy to convert to other analog outputs", but while you can easily get RGB HS and VS from VGA's pins, you'd need to transcode those 5 inputs down into the 3 you'd use for component somehow, such as with something like this: http://www.jrok.com/hardware/RGB.html

Of course, that seems to then create the issue of needing to combine the two syncs into composite sync, which apparently it may be possible to configure CRT Emudriver to output composite sync on one of the VGA pins.

What were some of the ways people got around the issue of combining sync prior to a software solution like that?

>>8034317
Not original poster but I have that same effect on my 480i only Component TV, what's the rundown?

>>8040282
voltage issues, could be capacitors, could be the flyback

>>8040286
Thanks for the info, about time I give this set a maintenance look.

>>8040290
from what I read, check the deflection board first

>>8036735
>Is there any way to force the PS2 to strictly output 240p?
Why do you want to play at a lower resolution?

>>8040202
You can make a simple circuit that combines sync, or you can get a device such as an extron rgb 192 that can combine them for you in many different configurations. Some people have had success simply tying the two wires together but that creates a much too high voltage signal. You are right that graphics cards can generally be made to output csync on either sync pin, but specifically hsync is typical

Just doing the finishing touches on my RGB mod, dunno if i'll finish up today though

>>8032534
top comfy

im making a new setup where i hae a couple crts and a giant lcd above them, is there a way to integer scale 1080p from a windows 10 ryzen pc with a gtx 1080 gpu up to 4k via software/drivers or anything like that?

>>8039548
>>8039465
I already have a COMP2RGB, it'd just be neat to have a way of not needing it in my setup anymore if there was some sort of mod I could do. Again though I don't see anyone bothering with my idea

>>8041473
too much risk, too much hassle, too mcuh time wasted for no real gain and a potential tragedy (you could actually die)

>>8041475
no, no one will die, stop the fear-mongering

Should I pay a nice flat cry monitor (17") for 250 or am I retarded?

>>8041475
I've already modded consumer CRTs for RGB, if you actually get shocked then you're a moron

>>8041484
ok but he could potentially brick his crt

>>8041494
You're only retarded if you pay it.

just came by to drop off an image
someone edit it a fucked up grid pattern onto the monitor

>>8041494
You are definitely retarded for thinking we could go off "flat cry monitor 17" and tell you the worth of that.

Reminder the CVM series exists.

>>8041829
wat is dat

>>8041875
It's the cheaper, lower performance brother to the PVM series. Usually has lower TVL and lacks RGB input.

However, they are still excellent monitors.

>>8041742
NEC multisync fe700.
I haven't played games in years due to work, but I'm looking to get back into ps1, dreamcast and old computer games and I hate pretty much any lcd I've touched.

>>8041967
250USD for that? no youre out of your mind and retarded

>>8012868
Should I buy a converter?

>>8041986
Thanks, still looking to see where I can order a flat crt but I'm glad to know how retarded the price is.

>>8042014
either find a card that can do vga out from the source, dvi out, OR displayport

avoid hdmi to vga crap unless absolutely necessary

>>8040896
Is it possible to output resolutions over 640x480 via VGA RGB?

>>8042158
Why shouldnt I just buy one? My display port is fucked and I haven't tested DVI-D yet.

I have an r7 370 that has no signal, should I try to fix it and replace its fuses just for my crt? I might have to update to windows 11 too because of its GPU passthrough function.

>>8039257
Look at the blue color and go to the left. See the difference in color?

>>8042360
why not just forego all that and get a raspi? whats the windows 11 function, im not aware of any advantages?

>>8042348
No, you would need to replace a whole body of things first

>>8011881
god I’d like to fuck you

Planning on picking up a used KV-XJ29 as my first CRT monitor, is it good enough? Don't mind that it's a flat-screen, just want to get rid of the fucking input lag on my PSX & PS2 and some 80's or 90's animus. Captha PSN8T

>>8044693
>anime
>input lag

>no scart here!

A little unrelated but what do you guys think of plasmas vs oled for retro vidya? Just ordered an oled earlier this week but just the other day found a late gen 50 inch Panasonic plasma, but with a jvc 32 inch crt and now a 55 inch lg oled my tvs are probably met, don't need to pick up the plasma I suppose.

>>8046615
nothing better about a plasma vs modern oled rather than price

This tv needs some adjustment

And people wonder why I look miserable all the time. I just want to be comfy and live in peace, but it seems like the universe wants me to kill myself.
Sorry for the blogpost, it's just that you're my frens.

>>8048367
Fuck, I just measured it and it's actually 20". Thought it was 23" due to the model name.
Posted on Freecycle to see if anyone has a 24" or bigger. Tried to login on Facekike, but the 2FA code is on the phone that died and now they want an ID to verify it's me (although I have the recovery codes, that somehow don't work), and I can't be bothered to make another account just to access marketplace.
