>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+ Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.

Any devices out there which can take a PC's 31kHz VGA output and convert it to 480i Component YPbPr?
Or maybe just S-Video?
I wanna connect my PC to my CRT with Component but I'm not sure if it actually supports 480p (unlikely but possible) or not.

>(unlikely but possible)
What model?


Also, an Extron VSC would do what you're looking for; Input from a PC(range depends on specific model) scales it down to 480i (or a few simply lower VGA resolutions) over RGB, Component, S-Video, and/or Composite.

Yo guys, reposting this from the last thread. So I got this monitor (pic) the other day for Melee netplay, but now that I have it I want to see what else I can use it for. I have a Dreamcast VGA cable (though I need a connector since the monitor only has a male VGA cable running out lol) and a retro PC build is an option too. Another guy also mentioned that I could buy some arcade boards that do VGA out, like the NAOMI, Atomiswave, or System 246; are there any other boards that do native VGA out? I've been interested in buying some PCBs for a while now, and this seems like the easiest way to set them up and play. And of course I'm glad to hear any recommendations of how to put this thing to use. Thanks guys!

Is it common for a CRT monitor to drop down in refresh rate during games? I have mine set at 120hz at 1024x768, but when I bring up the display information screen during a game, it's running a 75hz (same resolution).

[Anonymous No.4907630]

>>4907626
Some games can't handle high refresh rate. Many games have logic tied to FPS and won't go past a certain point. It's less an issue in older games and you'll frequently find games from the mid 2000's and back that'll run at more CRT tier refresh rates.

It brings the unfortunate baggage that a lot of N64 games just weren't meant to be seen without the blur or in a high quality signal. Don't get me wrong, it helps, but the difference between a Saturn or PS1 3D game is jarring still. Something like Bulk Slash or Panzer Dragoon or Vagrant Story or Mega Man Legends 2 will still blow away what the N64 does.

Some modern HD shows do look good on a CRT but they are almost always better on a CRT if the signal is also good.
The dude who posted that was probably a poorfag who had to stick with RF, and had no DVDs of New Girl lying around.
However, some modern shows are meant to be viewed on an HDTV.
But some HD remastered shows (usually anime) still look amazing on a CRT even in their remastered form.

Gundam Wing is a great example of an old TV series which had a remaster that looks amazing on a CRT.

So after doing a little browsing online, I found out there’s a Wii/Playstation VGA cable for 480p games (I know it’s not retro, but at least it’s CRT related). Has anyone ever tried using one of these? I’m worried is won’t work with my monitor because apparently the sync on green signal can be problematic with some monitors. As always, any advice is appreciated :^)

[Anonymous No.4908628]

>>4908618
the cable does component to vga conversion, so it'll work. For PS2 you might need to do 480p selection blind (hold X+/\ for games that support it) because menus are 480i (barring some FMCB custom setups)

Good man! My 10 year old son has grown up with playing retro his whole life with me. He loves new games of his own, like stupid Fortnite, but he always loves sitting down to get as far through Sonic 2 as he can, or taking turns with one of his friends running through Mario 3.
One of my favorite memories with my son was when we beat Double Dragon 2 on NES. It was the first time in my life I ever saw the ending to that game and I've been trying to beat it since I was like 6 or 7! Was amazing to be able to do that with my son.

Crazy thing is I just gave him his first pocket knife and showed him how to whittle and now all he wants to do is sit out on the porch and whittle away sticks all day with me instead of running around with his friends. It's amazing when you know how to raise and bond with your children.

Those boards are damn good. I used one in my joust while the boards were sent to bob roberts for repair. There is a very very very slight difference on joust. I forget what it was now, but I remember it might have been something to do with killing pterodactyls. I was playing joust back then about an hour a day, so unless you were that into it you'd never notice. I have a gutted joust cabinet I got for $20 or something that I plan on making a multi williams out of, that or a dedicated sinistar, haven't decided yet.

>But some HD remastered shows (usually anime) still look amazing on a CRT even in their remastered form.

I recently re-watched the dragon box edition of dragon ball on my 20" pvm. It was an almost transcendent experience. You could see the animation cels in a lot of places, really cool after growing up seeing them over the air through an rf port and watching them on that shitty orange box set.

I used to think some of the animation in dragon ball was really good but somehos cheap. I think it's more about elegance through economy of animation cels. If you watch closely, sometimes you'll see the same cels (expecially special effects/explosions) re used in different episodes. It's pretty damn cool piecing together that stuff. Sorry I kind of got rambley but it's pretty neat how much action they can get sometimes out of a minimum of animation. Lots of camera tricks too and even some LED(maybe incadescent) lights under animation cells in some instances.

Model would be enough, or if they can take a pic of the back inputs. If it's a flatscreen there will probably be geometry issues but usually unless you're turbo autist they won't bother you. The issues often don't mean a rats ass if you're playing old games.

I second the other anons, bring some system to check it out if the seller is ok with that.

1. I use the PVM 8045Q ( the smallest one ) with the Wii U, mostly to emulate gameboy color games. the best I can get from the Wii U is 480i but the interlacing doesn't really bother me on the small screen.
2. I use most of them regularly - I've taken the PVM 14M2U ( the one above the records ) to a friend's place for retro gaming, it was cool. the Ikegami TM 14-17R ( the vertical one ) doesn't see much use because I need to adjust the pots but I don't know how to do it safely when powered on. It will be a tiny tate setup soon. PVM 1954Q ( the one on the bottom ) is currently connected to my PS2. The big Mitsu is my general purpose raspberry pi emulation setup
3. It was a shitty one from goodwill and I trashed it. I'm in the market for a new one

Here's the thing too. Because of the EU and US gov's war on "carbon footprints", you'll rarely if ever find a flatscreen anymore with a good aluminum or steel skeleton. Even my old Samsung 1680x1050 monitors have an aluminum skeleton for support, but they were made before enviros started bitching about things they have no clue about. You see, in order to cut their "carbon footprint", companies have opted to cut out packaging(that's why modern game boxes are so flimsy) or metal from their goods. Plastic manufacture/processing outputs less CO2 than metal smelting/forging/pressing/etc. So now, those screens are very light. And very much more fragile.

Also, it's very unlikely that CRTs could be sold on the consumer level, at least not in any good quality, because modern environmental laws make it nearly impossible. That's one of the reasons we have LCD screens completely replacing CRTs.

Consider the RetroTINK2X coming soon. Does Composite, S-video and component in to 480p HDMI out with proper 240p and 480i as well as PAL equivalents support, can get to VGA with an HDMI to VGA adapter attached to its output. Can do scanny loins if you like or do regular line doubling. No fancy deinterlacing so not ideal for 480i video stuff. http://www.retrotink.com/

For C64 use S-video.

If you don't care too much about scaling artifacts and a bit of lag the generic cheapo composite/s-video scalers are okayish, https://www.amazon.com/S-Video-Converter-Computer-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B071HPG793/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1531969976&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=s-video+vga&psc=1 for example

>>4913381
Very unlikely to harm the monitor, but could potentially harm your source device. What you're doing is shorting the horizontal and vertical sync output drivers together and hoping the average looks something close to a proper sync signal, for PVMs it's often close enough, but not always, BVMs seem to be much more picky and won't accept it.
The proper solution is an Extron RGB interface or similar that can produce proper combined sync out.

Having progressive 480p support is nice for Wii/Gamecube games (and PS2 where supported) but not absolutely essential. Getting 480p support on a North American TV usually means an HD model, which have their own set of issues since they're generally scaling everything to 540p/1080i adding a bit of lag and possibly artifacts.

why is that? refresh rate too high? I don't understand

[Anonymous No.4915405]

>>4915390
Anon believes the only way to display a nominally 15khz resolution (224p/240p/288p being prime examples) on a 31khz monitor is to double the framerate.

You can however simply increase the horizontal resolution to a point where it becomes displayable at the original framerate, avoiding any frame interpolation nasties.

[Anonymous No.4915414]

>>4915405
does doubling the framerate really mess shit up or something? if the game is nominally 60 hz is the crt just double spamming every frame or what?

[Anonymous No.4915536]

>>4915414
The CRT isn't doubling anything, it just displays what it's fed. "60hz" games aren't exactly 60hz in any case, NTSC standard is 60/1.001 (~59.94hz) and many systems output further variations on this.

Therefore applying a blanket 120hz frame double is never going to work out cleanly. Best to output original framerate and rely on the display to sort things out.

Your GPU is futzing with timings somewhere, since the digital width of the line has no effect on how quickly the beam moves, only how quickly it switches. It's still moving at the same speed as it would with a 320x240, 640x240, etc signal.

>>4916683
>what would the widescreen button on my PVM ever be good for?
If you're feeding it a source that is outputting a widescreen only picture. It's preferable over baking in letterboxing, as the latter reduces the vertical resolution you're actually able to use. The vertical compression that the widescreen button applies still makes use of the full 480 vertical lines that would make up a full frame, versus ~360 of active video if you bake in letterboxing to a 4:3 image instead.

I am also a fan of New Girl and it looks pretty good on a CRT.
Even if it looks better on an OLED 4K TV.
But, to be honest, New Girl is probably not the kind of a show that I would actively watch on a CRT.
I've heard rumours of New Girl being originally shot in 720p rather than 1080p but I can't confirm this.
And 720p looks pretty good on a BVM, even if most of the time, it looks better upscaled in 4K.

My first answer on which TV series would look best on a CRT would be the Extended Cuts of Friends on DVD, Seinfeld (since it's uncropped on DVD), and most especially, the unaltered TV broadcast versions of Neon Genesis Evangelion (the Blu-Rei version is altered, even if it looks really nice).

Because your system has decided not to output 15kHz at all, so it switches back to 640x480, mb? As a few ppl have already noted in words:

Scan rate = (lines per frame) x (frames per second)

Horizontal resolution is not relevant to that equation because it's not fucking there.

Ikegami's monitors are some of the best in class, with the image the technology they use being a dot-trio shadow mask which is more akin to something you'd see on PC displays. The result is a finer dot pitch and a far more organic feel to the image that something like aperture grilles can't quite touch.

That said I would try to pay 10 bucks per inch, Sony is the brand with the pedigree of being expensive, I'd haggle personally. If I did end up having to pay 300 for it, I wouldn't be entirely happy but I'd like to get a set like that if I didn't already have the superior HTM-2050RA1.

Bandwidth, and actual use cases.

4:3 was perfectly fine for most use cases, which is the reason there are essentially no wide PC CRTs out there: Just not a high enough demand to make going through the hassle of spinning up and dealing with designing a quality wide tube a decent investment. That's why there are only 3 or 4 actual wide PC CRT tubes out there.

While making a wider image with the same refresh and vertical resolution doesn't actively increase the horizontal frequency requirements, it does however increase the required bandwidth to fit that additional information into each line of video. This increase requires high quality components all around, first of all the tube actually being able to resolve that information, but also the circuitry that drives the monitor, the cabling that connects the monitor to your source, and the source itself. Increase the refresh, and the require bandwidth goes higher still.

For a few random examples;

1600x1200p60 requires ~74khz h freq and ~173mhz of bandwidth.
Stretch this to 1920x1200 and you need 208mhz.

Move these up to 96p, and now 4:3 needs 118khz and 276mhz, but 16:10 now needs 332mhz.

To go even higher, 1920x1440p80 requires the same h freq as above (118) but a bandwidth of 332mhz; 16:10 in turn moves up to just under 400mhz, which is right at the edge of what the most modern (relatively speaking) GPUs are even able to push without artifacting and heavy interference cropping up.

My CRT PC monitor (Sony GDM-Fw900) handles 2560x1600 over VGA cable or via 5-bnc via DVI-I. At that resolution, it is 60hz. HOWEVER, as you reduce the resolution you increase the refresh rate(Hz). At 1920x1200 I am at 85hz. 1680x1050 @ 100. 1280x800 @ 140hz.

>>4928328
Every resolution I named is capable of being pushed over VGA from an appropriate GPU. Admittedly, some of the DACs on certain cards may have issues with those requiring higher bandwidth.

The highest base resolution you'll see most GPUs allow for a CRT(assuming it is itself capable of handling it) is 2048x1536, needing a 96khz h frequency and bandwidth of ~285mhz. Essentially nothing out there is actually going to be able to resolve all of that, but it is still able to be fed. 1600x1200/UXGA is very common for somewhat larger PC CRTs(19''+).

The wideboi resolutions are relegated to the FW900 and it's rebadges, with that 2304x1440 res not being a standard, but the highest specifically addressable resolution that the monitors are quote to support. You can technically go higher, especially considering there are a number of 4:3 monitors that are higher spec'd than the FW, but you're really hanging your ass out at that point in regards to what all various pieces will actually support.

Once you reach the point of >>4928390 , it's really coming down to pure screen real estate rather than actually resolving everything being drawn. That point was passed considerably before you hit either that or the above 2304 res.

>>4928421
That doesn't change what I said. It was still a niche market, and one that couldn't support a terribly large number of different sets/manufacturers jumping in on it.

I have no trouble gaming at 2560x1600 @ 60 hz. I don't know what you are talking about honestly.

There are a few current titles (console ports) that ONLY run at 60hz. None have given me any troubles at all.

Also, running a GTX titan, so resolution is irrelevant.

However, titles that allow for various refresh rates I use 1920x1200 @ 85hz...because 60hz looks terrible on a PC monitor. To date I have NEVER had a 60hz only monitor. Over the years I have had many 20"+ crt monitors. I really like the IBM p75 was one of the best 4:3....also a trinitron. And you are correct, it would run 2048x1536 w/out issue.

>>4928476
>The highest base resolution you'll see most GPUs allow for a CRT(assuming it is itself capable of handling it) is 2048x1536

I have had this monitor for over a decade, and have used many GPUs from base model all the way up to professional grade, and not once have I encountered a single GPU that could not provide 2560x1600. Granted I have had perhaps 15 nvidia cards in the last decade, so my experience is only limited to OWNING a FW-900 AND using it daily as my primary display. Most people don't get the opportunity to own such an amazing relic, let alone can comprehend how awesome it is without actually owning one themselves.

[Kya !kDashing02 No.4928519]

>>4928498
I'm not saying that the monitor is unusable at that point, only that you exceeding the tube's ability to fully resolve the finest of details past the 1200p point, which is admittedly isn't a concern for most video and gaming content. Only more productivity aimed tasks would be impacted.

And what I mean "reaching that point" is that going for resolutions such as 2560x1600 is more for the game's part in rendering detail than the monitor's ability to resolve it. I'm sure games and the like do look better being rendered at that higher resolution, only you're not gaining any real sharpness from the monitor itself at that point.

>and not once have I encountered a single GPU that could not provide 2560x1600
That isn't what that statement was being directed at, rather one of what if you check the specs of a given GPU, the maximum supported analog resolution you're going to see listed for many of them and the one that tends to get listed as the highest (by default) in the control software for said GPU is going to be 2048x1536. This isn't to say it and many other resolutions aren't capable of being done, only that their support is unofficial, particularly at the high end of that.

A vaguely comparable example would be the ability to get 240p out of a GPU. It's capable of being done by loads of them, especially if you're getting into doing so at 120hz, but the lowest officially supported resolution is going to be 640x480.

I have never owned a GPU that was rated for any higher then 2048x1536 (not even my current nvidia titan) via VGA. However, that does not change the fact that 100% of the graphic cards I have used over the last 13 years have worked splendid at 2560x1600....Some do not give adequate frame rates for 3d games. Which is why it is great to have a CRT, because it can simply run at whatever made up resolution that I want, and will have none of the "non-native resolution" issues that LCDs have.

Off the top of my head:

I know that there are some I am forgetting. Not a single one gave me any issues. Some I even did a dual monitor output to my IBM crt before it died.

>A vaguely comparable example
It is not vague at all. It is a great example. Sure it is unsupported per the manufacturer. Does that stop anyone from doing it and making it work?

Again, I never said otherwise. The original post was simply stating what most GPUs had listed as their max in marketing, not that they couldn't support resolutions other than this.

If you were to address the sentence previous regarding the DAC, that is more a matter of image quality and would be more of a worry with subpar equipment all around. If you're running this sort of equipment, that really shouldn't be an issue though.

And I say vaguely comparable because it's on the opposite end of the spectrum; How low can something go rather than how high it can go. If anything, it was more in support of your argument of the ability to push non-standard stuff and the hardware be a-ok with it.

>>4928571

So I recall asking this question but never getting an answer for it, maybe you guys could help.

What determines the amount of time taken to switch between resolutions on emulators like RetroArch and GroovyMAME?

For instance, using original hardware is pretty much instant, there's no black screens, nothing. You play something like Chrono Cross and while you notice the resolution switching when you go to the menu it isn't slow to do so. On emulation software like RA and GroovyMAME, it is. However, I also noticed that a Mednafen fork (emu4crt Mednafen) does support this resolution switching, but it is even slower. Is it just a software issue, or maybe the drivers?

I tried that and reinserting it, it didn't help. My TV and another monitor (different model) don't have this problem, so I'm sure it's just some that have this compatibility issue. Back in the day when all TVs were tube TVs I remember solving this problem by using RF.

Guns in a triangle make getting decent convergence a lot harder, often needing electronic dynamic convergence control rather than just some magnet rings and a sensible yoke design.

That's cool and all, but I wish they supported that feature on a CRT connected to a secondary monitor. I have to manually switch the primary display before I open RetroArch for it not to fuck up and start switching resolutions on my LCD monitor instead, even though it's set so it shows up in the CRT (monitor index at 2).

Also, on an unrelated note, is it even worth using ATOM-15 if you barely see the BIOS?

What kinds of CRTs should I look for if I want more ionizing radiation?

[Anonymous No.4935849]

Is there anything to be done about that wavy effect you get with scrolling 2d games with lower end Trinitrons or am I just stuck with it? VLIN and SCOR basically don't do shit to the effect. Seems like it's just unavoidable.

Instead of a just a regular cathode ray tube, you should try looking for a cancer ray tube.
I've never seen one myself but there's some guy on here who talks about them all the time.

This is gonna be a weird question but can BNC cables handle 144hz? Everytime I try running at 960x720 or 888x666 at 144hz the screen always looks strange, like if the sharpness was too high, am I doing anything wrong?

bnc cables would handle it better than vga if they're both good quality.

- CRTs are no longer produced because they have inferior picture quality versus LCDs
- CRTs emit dangerous levels of X-rays or other forms of radiation
- CRTs always have easily-visible flicker
- CRTs always cause eyestrain
- CRTs always make a high-pitched squealing noise
- CRTs contain lethal amounts of electricity, even when unplugged
- CRTs need calibration more than two to three times a year
- Overall CRT black levels are not superior to LCDs because ambient light ruins CRT black levels
- Analog CRTs have more processing time than digital LCDs due to poor RAMDAC performance
- Afterimages caused by phosphor decay are extremely annoying and are a significant downside of CRTs
- Sending an improper mode (resolution or refresh rate) to a CRT can cause permanent damage
- CRTs cannot have touchscreens
- 4:3 is so bad that nobody should use a non-widescreen CRT
- The Sony GDM-FW900 is the only CRT worth owning
- Curved CRTs have objectively inferior picture quality versus flat CRTs with otherwise equal specifications
- CRTs should not be used because they are heavier and deeper than LCDs
- CRTs have severe reflections because they do not have matte coats
- CRTs can be permanently damaged by nearby magnets
- Analog signals limit a CRT's resolutions and refresh rates and negatively effect picture quality
- Heavy metals are used in CRT glass to reduce radiation

I still don't understand this composite sync thing.

I use a 6350HD with a VGA to SCART RGB 15khz cable and connect it to a cheap 14'' TV. Shit seems to work fine with CRT_Emudriver and custom resolutions. How would I know if I can use composite sync (or if I even need it) and I'm not just doing shit wrong? If I enable it I get a very fucky image scrolling diagonally pretty fast, and if I generate modelines with positive hsync/vsync what I get is just vertical scrolling. Is it the cable? The GPU/drivers? The modelines set? My incompetence? Maybe I can't use it and that's that?

[Anonymous No.4937291]

>>4937276
your cable is already combining sync since scart uses c-sync. so by enabling c-sync you're feeding c-sync to a cable that expects h-sync and v-sync to be able to combine them.

Oh. Well damn, I'm pretty dumb. I don't know why I associated the whole "these modelines are using negative vsync and hsync" to "this isn't using csync". Don't know much about this shit and I just spotted that feature, thankfully my TV didn't blow up yet.

Main use for ATOM-15 is if you've got a setup where attaching a regular PC monitor for fiddling with BIOS would be annoying/impractical like in an arcade cabinet.

I wouldn't waste so much money for that. I don't even have that many original consoles other than the SNES, a dreamcast without the top case (a little accident there) and a Wii. I bought a 10€ GPU and a 15€ VGA to SCART RGB cable, using a few emulators and that's it.

Don't worry about it too much, nothing in the red areas is considered essential. In normal gameplay you won't notice it at all.

Also good score, post a better picture of the set if you can
