You got memed. Digital CRTs have processing in them that can contribute to lag.

>>9231680
sorry. just tilt your head to the left?

>>9231682
sooo yeah. Vega? my bad. I'm still learning.

>>9231685
Also..its a flat screen. How does this compare to a curved screen?
What consoles would work best on this tv?

>>9231674
Very good consumer television. It’s flat because it’s aperture grill instead of shadow mask. They look a lot crisper but I hear they sometimes have geometry problems. Either way, good set to have imo

>>9231685
i tilted my head and there's still a weird disrtotion effect and lines running thtougj the image you fucking retard

>>9231698
heck yeah, so, its not the most bad ass Trinitron? (idk what that even means) but this should do it huh? I have seen people post the bigger versions of this or i might be confused.
Really excited to come home and play Shinobi 3 and Whip Rush on it!

>>9231698
also, what is shadow mask?

>>9231674
You could lift that thing?
Nice, this place is full of fags that can't even lift 10 kilos

>>9231682
retard

>>9231743
so, its like 90-110 pounds? built in handles to the sides, supposedly...yeah I think I can lift it. i mean its heavy but I can do it.

>>9231674
It depends on a couple of things, mostly how gently the thing has been used and treated in general over the years. CRTs are *very* electromagnetically "noisy" if they've been jostled too much or poorly manufactured, and I really don't know how much you can do about that even if you have a soldering iron.

Is free tho, can't complain too much

>>9231674
That’s an HDCRT, can’t do 240p and has lag.

>>9231780
ain't no 100lb, that's the old cabinet TV your grandparents had.

>>9231674
I had one of these in college and it was fuckin' awesome. Component, Composite, S-Video, great color, and good sound to boot.
>>9231682
Not all WEGAs are digital, only the "EDTV" labelled ones, which are 480p, and in my experience are fairly uncommon.

>>9231674
kek you arent picking that shit up alone its like 300lbs

>>9231786
Nah, almost all Sony WEGA HDCRTs were either widescreens, XBRs, or both.
It's probably an SD CRT, potentially one with 1-2 component inputs plus S-Video/Composite/RF.

>>9231786
I have no idea why so many people on this board assume it's HD whenever they see a widescreen WEGA monitor, when the vast vast majority of them were SD.

>>9231729
It’s a good TV.

>>9231731
Shadow mask is the normal style of CRT display. It has phosphors of different colors while an apeture grille… splits the electrons? Or something? I am not technical enough to explain the difference well so I recommend doing a Google.

Apeture grille was invented late in the lifespan of CRTs and Sony had a copyright on the tech so mostly only late Sony TVs have it, with a tiny handful of exceptions.

>>9231815
My homie picked up my 36” and moved it across the room by himself, he’s fucking huge though, like 6’4”. And he hurt his back doing it.

I can move my 40” widescreen CRT by myself just fine

>>9231674
Don't listen to these retards >>9231682 >>9231786. I had that exact same TV, and it's an excellent set provided there's nothing obviously wrong with it. Just make sure there geometry isn't all out of wack, that the colors aren't completely off (like all purple or green or some shit), that it's not too dim, and make sure there's no burn-in. Only criticism I had is that on the corners the convergence was a little off, but that's a side effect of these flat-glass models as opposed to the earlier curved ones, and it's nothing gamebreaking at all.

>>9231815
Nigga I had that TV and I could move it with little trouble, and I'm a musclelet. It's really not that heavy, just a bit awkward to grab due to the dimensions. Now, my 30" HD CRT... THAT motherfucker was definitely too much for my weak-ass alone.

The best consumer grade CRT u can have.
have fun, OP.
these niggas talking about it being HD don't know SHIT.

>>9232090
OP here. Heck yeah brother.
I will

>>9232004
Pro weight lifter in the thread errybody.

>>9231674
It's a nice TV. I am playim on mine right now

>>9232141
The 40” HDCRT isn’t that heavy, my deadlift is pathetic at like 140x5 and I carried it up and down stairs myself. No way in hell I could pick up the 36” alone but OP’s is noticeably smaller than that. A 27” isn’t that huge and certainly not anywhere near 300lbs. I have a 25” in my bedroom I could hold all day.

>>9232349
i guess thats like the deluxe version ?

>>9232493
nah thats just the version that came with a stand to sit one thats why it has a weird shape

>>9232498
awesome, im excited to get this tv.

>>9232493
I'm the one you replied to. My model is kv-29fv300 chassis BA5D

>>9231674
geometry issues

>>9231674
I have this TV. Got it about 10 years ago from the original owner, and it was my first Trinitron after having low tier CRTs growing up. Don't listen to the idiots saying it's HD. It's not, and it does lagless 480i/240p. It has component & s-video. Looks pretty good but these flat glass models are prone to wonky geometry.

>>9231674
Why do you need to ask these questions if you can just turn it on and find out?

>>9231682
that's not an HD CRT though.

>>9232783
Because he doesn’t have it yet man, it wasn’t a long post but you still didn’t read it

>>9232783
leaving now to go pick it up. Surprised this thread is still going.

>>9231674
I have the same one, and I love it. light guns dont work though.

>>9231674
I got that same tv for 50 cents from goodwill about 5 years ago. I’ve put thousands of hours on it and it still looks great. The geometry is a little off, but if I hadn’t read about it here and held a ruler up to the screen, I never would have noticed.

>>9233297
You don't have the same one then. This set is SD and light guns work.

>>9233297
The zapper at least worked on mine.

>>9233343
I think due to the angle people think it's one of the widescreen HD sets but it is indeed a 4:3 SD

>>9233297
I’m am like 95% sure light guns will work with that TV, your gun might be broken

>>9233289
You just had like some genuine enthusiasm for it despite being new which is based and charming

>>9233375
I have this same tv and can confirm 100% that light guns work.

Got it

God dang this thing is heavy! Got it up a flight of stairs.
Came with the remote also which was a nice surprise.

Whoops forgot picture

>>9233631
Clean your car for fuck's sake.

>>9233643
Grats homie! Let us know how it rides after you take it for a spin.

>>9233656
For sure. i just moved so all my stuff is in boxes, in that closet actually. planning on going through it tomorrow...or maybe today if i get a second wind

>>9231834
It looks extremely similar to my old 2005 manufactured WEGA, which indeed had a digital upscaler. Later WEGA models all had that.

>>9232004
>he’s fucking huge though, like 6’4”.
I hope you sucked his dick after that
I know I would've

>>9233631
Fuck yeah

>>9233693
Nah it was funny as fuck though, I was giving instructions for how were were gonna group lift it, and he just goes “I’ve got it” and picks the bitch up. Then he’s like “HOLY FUCK THIS IS HEAVY” and the rest of us scramble to move the base to its new location so he can set it back down. As soon as it was in place he was like “FUCK I should not have done that” and we all ribbed him about it despite being genuinely impressed. His back was fucked for like a month. He got married and moved out of state a few years ago, miss the dude

>>9233631
>>9233643
Nice one. Out of curiosity, will you post the model number? Should be on the sticker on the back.

>>9233820
Pretty sure that's a KV-27FS100.

>>9233631
>>9233643
Congrats OP, take some pics once you get it set up.

>>9233860
Oh yeah if that's a 27FS100 or 120 then it's a great set. Full SD with composite, s-video, and component inputs. I've got a 32FS120 in the living room and was my favorite set for years before getting a PVM. The only downside is that there's only 1 component and 1 s-video input in the back so you'll need a switch for connecting multiple consoles.

>>9234049
okay ill check, one sec.

>>9233860
>>9234049
I was thinking that because I have one but the one OP posted says WEGA and mine says Trinitron.

>>9234247
A minor revisional difference, I'm pretty sure.

>>9231674
It's okay, you'd be happier with an older 90s curved Trinitron with S-video+composite though.

ill do that for ya buddy

>>9234313
does this help?
I have yet to turn it on.....idk is this rad? i think it is, or it might be, who cares

>>9234318
Pretty rad imo

>>9234313
Ah, so it's the FS120. Very good set, among the best Sony made of that type.

Anybody have any opinions on the Samsung dynaflat?
I found this on the sidewalk on my way to church today, my first crt.
Should I opt for AV or component?

>>9234451
Forgot pic

>>9234452
>HD
It won't do 240p, so it's not ideal for older consoles. It might be ok for 6th and particularly 7th-gen games, though. If you have component cables for those, definitely use them so you can output at 480p or 1080i.

>>9234452
The only appeal of buying a flat-screen HD-CRT to me, if for watching anime or cartoons. For that, you'd get a far better image from a 16:9 HD Trinitron, and people are practically trying to give those beasts away.

>>9231674
I have the same thing. I like it a lot, and the sound quality ain't bad for built-in speakers. The one bad thing I can say about it is that lightguns are little bit weird with flat CRT's, since curved were more common and the games and hardware were designed with that in mind. You'll still be able to play House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, etc., but in particular, aiming at the edges of the screen will feel off, and probably be more difficult. Having both S-video and component is awesome though.

>>9234352
heck yeah.

>>9231815
i did it all by myself...

>>9234408
so i scored big time?

>>9234572
honestly man, i appreciate all the tech stuff, i just wanna play whip rush and my favorite sega game...Shinobi 3.
Hawthore Heights - Ohio is for lovers

>>9234408
>>9234313
Yep you've got a really great one OP, the 120 line has stellar picture quality. These are basically the 2nd best consumer Trinitrons ever made. 240p games will be very sharp with noticeable scanlines if you look closely. Make sure to get component and s-video cables for your consoles to get the max this set has to offer

>>9234247
WEGAs are Trinitrons. The FD Trinitron/WEGA line were Sony's flatscreen aperture grille CRTS from 1998-2006. The XBR line was above the WEGA line but all the flatscreen models were HD iirc

>>9234575
Good taste bro I love Shinobi 3

>>9234747
its so fun.

you're lucky, my crt has an overscan to the left side and it's driving me crazy

Disgrace of a thread. There is a general for this but instead OP posts for a day about a device he didn’t have until he picked it up and asked questions that no one could answer because the CRT he was picking could well have been busted or behave unexpectedly.
Absolute joke of a board. How many one off CRT threads do you need?

>>9235530
I love how many option you have for killin ninjas

>>9235684
So hide it and move on, fag
