Definitely get one if you're able to. I've been using filters on my RetroTink for a while but recently picked up a little CRT now that I have the space for one and holy shit filters just aren't the same. It's wild replaying some ofy favorite games and seeing visual effects that I had no clue were supposed to be there.

Where do you live? I'm pretty sure everyone got rid of their CRTs in my area as late as a decade ago. Haven't seen one in ages, the TVs that get thrown out these days are old HDTVs. A new generation of retro gaming enthusiasts are hoarding the ones that didn't end up in some landfill.

2D games look like shit on flatscreen CRTs bigger than 14" generally, they suffer from the funhouse mirror effect where it looks like the game is getting unwound from the edges, no amount of geometry adjustments can fix that due to the physical limitations of a flat tube. This isn't an issue with 3d games thankfully.

Old IBM monitor. It's really low resolution (for a PC monitor), so I like how it looks with old games. It's really clean and sharp, but not too sharp. Tri dots have a soft quality to them that I really enjoy.

>>10069431
The scanlines are real. I used Retroarch and a 3840x240 120hz super resolution to get it to do 240p. The 120hz ghosting makes it kind of crappy for a lot of retro games, but lots of N64 games don't run at 60fps. Looks fine for those games.

I'm working in a computer recycling warehouse right now, and we come across CRTs sometimes.
What are some good PC CRTs to look out for? They get sent to scrap(if they're not Apple related), so I want to see if I can save some from being thrashed.

The only one I know to look out for is a Sony GDM-FW900, but I don't really know about PC CRTs aside from that one.

It looks about the same as a 60hz 15khz CRT when playing 30fps games. Maybe even less flicker because of the high refresh rate.

>>10069802
Typically any PC monitor that is 19 inches or bigger is good. Even mid tier PC monitors are becoming more and more scarce. Look for brands like Sony, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Iiyama, NEC, and Eizo.
Some of these brands have rebrands. Things like SGI, Sun, and some Dell monitors are Sony rebrands for example. If it says Trinitron it's Sony. LaCie did Mitsubishi rebrands.

Do you guys bother changing the screen position for every game you play? FFVII on my PS2 is weird. Press triangle and the menus are extended to being off the screen, you can't even see the white outline of the menus on the far right or far left of the screen. But if you adjust your tv screen for that, so it all fits in nicely in the menu, the actual gameplay screen as you walk around the map will have tiny slivers of black bars on the left/right. So I'm content with it overlapping.
Mine is like pic related, but a little more extreme.

i've heard there are good quality component converters. you can probably set a switch to display a 4:3 image being stretched to 16:9 and then a crt wouldn't be able to tell and display it at 4:3, but there might be artifacts from the stretching. i've heard it's possible to trick switches into outputting in 4:3 but i don't know if it's possible with that setup. but switches can't output 240p or 480i, so that might be a problem.

I read this book a long time ago. I remember a claim that Nintendo came up with the idea of skipping lines in the video signal (what essentially became typical 240p) in order to get higher framerates, and they called it "double strike."

Can anyone confirm this or have any resources/history on this? Most search results are for a video game that has the same name. JunkerHQ mentions that "double strike" comes up in nintendo's SDK documentation, but the link to it is dead.

If your city population is over 2 million, search somewhere less populated. Even cities with over a million people will have CRTs about, you just need to look in more than one place and more than one time.

Vga connected to rgb to component transcoder. The other guy’s suggestion of hdmi to component also works given that the conversion preserves resolution and will accept 240p, which some have been documented as doing. One difficult thing could be forcing your computer to produce a 240p signal but that depends on your graphics card and is usually doable.

Retrotink’s rgb2comp is good but expensive. There are cheaper transcoders you can find on eBay that might have some off colors but they have potentiometers inside to dial the colors back in. As long as your computer has vga it should work. I hear Intel integrated graphics is very lenient with custom resolutions

The only reason you're technically right is because salesman will always pretend your shit is ancient. My parents had a 18" tube as their daily driver until around 2011 when I found a CRT rear-projection in an alley. Then I got them a proper 1080p off brand tv for Christmas about five years ago and they're still using it. They'll probably use it until they die, or at least until I find a bargain 4k for them. They basically refuse to upgrade unless it breaks beyond repair.

It's a TVLines thing
Bigger TVs usually have higher TVLines which means you get memelines for 240p content

Conversely NES games with their small undetailed sprites will look worse while games with bigger sprites like many Arcade/Neo Geo games(despite also being 240p) will be affected less by the memelines, so it also depends on the game

Couldn't disagree more. The 27s42 is going to be as good as it gets when it comes to curved Sony sets. They're recent enough to have good geometry--provided of course it was treated well/has lowish hours. S-video will absolutely pop from a Gamecube on this TV and will be sharp as hell if you've got a quality cable (try to get an official Nintendo one). If you run into a use case where you have to have component, it's one of the most commonly modded sets for both RGB and component.

It's no Sony, Toshiba or even RCA, but it'll do as long as it's not too worn out and it has S-video at least. At this stage, brand quality is pretty much secondary to image quality. So long as it's not fuzzy or has heavily warped geometry, I'd take it.

Philips 28PW6441. Does it support 240p? Good for PS1? I think its great for PS2 at least. It has S-Video and Component. Choose between 16:9 / 4:3.
Only thing I'm not sure of is if it has digital processing and how negative that can be. And I really wanna know about the 240p thing. I hate that the documentation doesn't focus on these things.

It gives you high quality models and better preserves detail than rendering at the game's native resolution. Scaling everything back down also preserves the original quality of the textures. Here's a comparison between Angrylion and ParaLLEl. As far as I can tell, Angrylion is very accurate to how a real N64 looks. At least, I can't really tell the difference when comparing it to a real N64 side by side. Angrylion is on the left and ParaLLEl is on the right.

I don't know much about these kinds of games, but Dirge of Cerberus makes a strong case when demonstrating the picture clarity older televisions can achieve. For whatever reason, this game looks marvelous on my old crt, namely the sharpness of the picture and the contrast being highlights. The opening, pre-rendered movie is displayed in widescreen, with all other cinematics, pre-rendered or not, seemingly being exclusively 4:3. The game looks so good I'm tempted to play through this entire thing, in spite of having no idea who any of these characters are or what the gameplay is trying to achieve. The protagonist, at least, is one cool vampire dude.

A friendly tip I wanted to give everyone here, it is nearly always worth touching up the focus in your set, be it monitor or TV.
Focus can drift overtime and by recalibrating it you can get much better sharpness out of a tube.
The whole process takes less then a minute and there isnt much to do wrong,
I brought a monitor with mediocre focus back to being factory sharp just by properly adjusting the focus pots

I stopped at a computer recycling place to ask if they had any CRTs, even though there was a giant sign saying they didn’t accept CRTs. It turns out that people dropped a few gems off anyways. These two 13-inch Trinitrons were on a pallet to be trashed. They still wanted to charge me 15 each even though they were garbage, but it was worth it to save them. Going to try and find them a home since I have a 27-inch Trinitron. Both work beautifully. No screen damage, surprisingly. I cleaned them up pretty nicely.

Not really, it's highly dependant on where you live. If you can find them easily that's great but in many places it's impossible to get them for that cheap anymore unless you want to make searching for tube TVs a full-time job. At that point you might as well get a real job and buy one after a single shift. These things are a finite resource that most people threw out at least 15 years ago and the prices people are asking reflect that.

i couldnt find a better thread and didnt want to make a new one just for a dumb little question.
i still have an original SNES powersupply, but it gets pretty warm just by plugging it in. not even turning the console on, just having it plugged in. and by warm i mean in the neighborhood of 60°C. i have a 3D printed mounting bracket to screw the PSU under my desk, for cable management purposes. the bracket is printed with regular PLA, so it should start to deform at around 60°C.
first, is this normal for original SNES PSUs or is mine defective? PSUs shouldnt get warm when they arent even under load, at least afaik.
second, would getting a cheap modern PSU with the same specification be fine?

Anyone 60+ is going to have a CRT TV somewhere in their house just gathering dust. Be it in a bedroom nobody uses anymore, a basement, or just in the garage. 20-25 years ago they may have bought a large flat screen TV as a status item but they couldn't even give away the old TV and they'll be damned if they're going to move it now.

Hello internet pals, I just received a freebie Trinitron (KV-27V42) from 2000, sitting on a porch for years apparently (covered at least) and the owner was thrilled that anyone would want it.
Geometry is nearly perfect, but I'm having no luck getting universal remote to communicate with it. Thinking the IR sensor on front panel may be dead? I also have a 2004 Trinitron that does work with my universal remotes, was hoping I would get lucky and that code would work on my new acquisition. Can do typical menu functions from the buttons on unit but without the remote, service mode is no go. Just wondering if anyone here has replaced an IR sensor and can offer advice. I don't want to watch a bunch of Hindi potato videos to learn about this, or go to r*ddit, if at all possible.

I tried both directly inputting all the Sony codes I could find (1075 for my other Trinitron) as well as scanning for quite a while on the newer Universal remote.. I was attempting to program it under the "blu-ray" key, since it is unoccupied, but thinking now, if I am using scan for that function, is it only going through blu-ray codes? I'll try scanning again under "TV" just to see what happens.

Tubes are generic luckily, that's probably like a Orion tube or like a cheap Samsung tube and in good condition it'll be a good tv. Basically in any set 14'' to 27'' it'd be incredibly incredibly unlucky to find a tube that was ''bad'' new, in fact cheap shit box crts are less damaged by wear over time, you'll often find Trinitrons in way worse condition with focus, convergence and geometry issues even though trinitrons in good condition mog other tvs with a sharper, better contrast and colours etc.

Shitboxes also avoid retarded crt ''advancement issues'' like that weird scan velocity shit on toshibas, 100hz, digital sharpening, digital chassis fruitiness.

Only thing super wrong with shitbox tvs are some have untinted tubes, which are ass. Tinted tubes look darker and actually are you know viewable in daylight.

So basically yeah that tv as long as its in good condition (as a simple slotmask it probably is) is good.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 23 18:21:02 2023 No.10091240 >>10091158 They are still basically trinitrons, they just have a flat screen instead of a curved one. I'd pick it up if it has component. The larger ones tend to have geometry issues but honestly still worth it.

Oh yeah, I had a similar problem and had to buy several hdmi to vga adapters to find one that worked and didn't have that same problem. Luckily I have a device with vga so I could test with that and see that the monitor worked fine to begin with

Better Call Saul was set in 2003. They had plenty of CRTs in scenes on the show, but I think they just did the screens of them digitally.
They also went kinda overboard with the faux-VHS post processing, Good enough for normies, but I know what VHS really looks like because I still watch them sometimes.

Somebody help me please
I spent over 100 dollars altogether to get an r9 380, a dvi I to vga adapter, vga to component adapter
All in the hopes I could hook my old PC up to my CRT tv. I was led to believe setup was mostly streamlined, just install crt emudriver, then pick your resolution and make sure you have a compatible app.
I cannot get my crt to output anything besides a fucked signal. I have followed every guide I can find to no avail. I have switched from trying vmmaker to CRU neither giving me anything. I have tried a bunch of different refresh rates to absolutely no avail.
It's just a standard 480i consumer CRT TV. It's clearly receiving A signal, just not one correct for it. Fuck

While it's converter on the label, this vid and plenty or people on reddit have mentioned it as working as merely a transcoder.
I've also tried 480i with no luck so. It seems like it's a windows thing going on.
I am using windows 11, which I know isn't officially supported but I've seen people saying CRU should work but I haven't had luck. Maybe there's just something with CRU I'm fucking up but as far as I can tell I'm not fuckinr it up

Well this is kind of true, its a lot easier to just get one or two consoles running, vs using groovymame to emulate tons of different systems with different oddball resolutions. You of course have to convert the rgbhv into something your consumer set will accept. But I don't understand the question of if the emulator will use that gpu? Are you running two gpus? Why?

Went out today to try and find a VHS player for my mom and scored this toshiba VHS/DVD thing with HDMI for 50$.

Was pleasantly surprised to find one with HDMI as now I don't need to also find a converter for the living room smart TV but for the time being I got this bad boy hooked into my CRT over component to watch some movies we have laying around. I'm kind of impressed at how crisp a well kept VHS can look when it's playing over not-composite.

Too bad none of these fucking things are rewinded and the fastest thing thing will rewind is x2. Enjoy Bugs Life in reverse.

that might be a good idea, here's Harry Potter 1 for PS1. I'm at the part where you go to diagonally. Kot is not happy about his bed being taken.

>>10104698
I actually forgot about doing that, this thing has no remote and the manual I found online sucks (it's more focused on all the DVD editing shit it has going on, that I can't even do) so it was tricky figuring out how to work it. The VCR I had as a kid was just a box that ate VHS tapes and spat out Iron Giant, I didn't need to learn anything else. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize the front panel opens lol

Bought a dreamcast today that I want to hook up via S-Video to my CRT, is there anything to look out for in cables for this console? I haven't been able to find official cables on ebay.

I know you can do VGA with this too but it would be too much of a hassle to set up.

rather pay £20-25 for a cable that I know will be fine than £10 lucky dip for one that most likely buzzes audio ngl, too many bad experiences with shitty cables I've decided to just only buy from reputable sources like retrocomputershack or retrogamingcables.

I think I saw the same listing. Is it the one where Aqua Teen is one of the photos on the listing? Looks like it's not outputting grayscale. Seems to have a bit of color. I'd guess it's probably some kind of capacitor failure, or it could be something like the chroma being turned down really low. Seller might nor realize. A cheap PVM is a cheap PVM. Might as well get it because it's not like you're losing much if you can't fix it.

yeah that's the one. i already have a time set with him to pick it up tomorrow. i asked him if there were any other issues or if he tried to fix the color issue and he said he took it to a professional and "repaired an audio issue and a problem with the vertical sync" but couldn't afford to spend anymore on repairs

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 29 02:29:46 2023 No.10106965 >>10106950 Yeah, I'm going to guess it's a capacitor failure then. If someone was potentially going fix it then you probably can too. Best of luck.

Just make a another server, there's nothing unique about it and if people are joining because it's the only one then you have a chance to offer an alternative.

Anon, the chink "RGB" scart cables have been proven over and over to not actually be RGB but running composite. There are plenty of YT vids demonstrating this where the scart connectors have been dismantled showing composite cable is being used. And as other anons mentioned the audio buzz present even at low volumes. It absolutely makes a difference. So either poor troll or you're sat on top of dunning krugers' mount stupid.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 29 10:57:48 2023 No.10107646 >>10107498 NTA, but there are probably a few different chink models of those, some could be OK, some composite only. You could get lucky. Personally, I use cables from thefoo.83 on ebay. Good quality and not too expensive.
