/CRT/ general: missing badge edition

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>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.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Found this trinitron on craigslist today for $20. Power button is broken, and I need to bang on it to get the picture to appear after being turned on, but the picture comes through fine. There's a horizontal line on the top of the picture where the picture seems lighter, its not horrible but its annoying, not sure if its the TV or the cable im using. Is the electron gun old or damaged?

I have an odd issue with my FW900. I've had it for close to a decade and never noticed this, but it could be I just haven't seen it before and it's not a new problem.
When running at higher refresh rate (120hz) there are very faint, flickering horizontal lines that may affect just the bottom half of the screen (or are less noticeable on the top half). It's very faint and only very noticeable on block colours but quite distracting. I recently calibrated the set using WinDAS and I suppose it could theoretically be that I set a voltage too high or something like that. If anyone can explain this please do.

I have one of those amplified RGB switches that allow you to have multiple outputs at once. I'm looking to use this for recording, and since analog RGB capture cards are really expensive I've figured it would be better for me to get an upscaler and a cheap HDMI capture card. What upscaler should I get? Since I'll be playing with a CRT latency and such won't really matter, just the output quality and price.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 13 09:47:58 2021 No.7286327 >>7286021 Depends on how your switch is set up but probably just an OSSC, running into something like an El Gato HD60S then into a computer

Yeah I think if he wants to preserve the quality he's going to be spending a couple hundred bucks over all.
The capture cards have gotten so cheap, you can find elgatos used for less than a hundred bucks and they're genuinely fantastic, we used them for covid television production to run camera feeds into laptops and over zoom so our producers could remotely conduct interviews and they never let us down across hundreds of interviews.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 13 10:18:37 2021 No.7286396 >>7286389 yeah the two routes I see to preserve quality would be a retrotink rgb 2x upscaler into an hdmi elgato, or an rgb to component/composite transcoder into an old SD elgato, which will both cost at least a hundred bucks total

yeah i would go with the first option personally just because surely the hdmi elgato will be useful for other projects
retrotink is a good company (based in San Diego, gotta love those beer drinking orca bullies) but i don't really know how their 2x scart measures up to the OSSC. It's probably just as good and it'll certainly be easier to get

Eh, it should also be noted that most of those direct RGB capture cards are PCI-E only, and I need to be able to have the whole thing plugged into a laptop for practical reasons right now. And an OSSC is like 120$ which is not that bad, and HDMI capture cards are really cheap since it's pretty simple to capture a digital source. I'd just like to know what would be the best when it comes to image quality, as I have mentioned latency is not that much of a concern.

Yeah, the quality isn't quite right on a ps3. It's not bad, just kind of soft. The benefit is launching isos directly off the hdd. I think there's still not a great way to launch psx games from the hdd on ps2. Popsloader was kind of shit when I tried it but that was admittedly a couple years ago.
But I agree, I use real original hardware for each console. The psx(s) I have all have mod chips and I loaded up on spare oem optical assemblies when they were still cheap.

A couple of threads ago I asked about a Haier CRT TV and I've since obtained it with the remote and it looks great. More interestingly however, I just found this black and white 5" CRT + radio at a thrift store for like $6 (pic related). After a quick search it appeared to be an Axion ACN-3522.

What is everyone's endgame CRT? I've decided to get serious about tracking down a Mitsubishi CK-35304. I'm a sucker for woodgrain and console televisions. The set also has both composite and s-video inputs. I'm guessing it was pricey for the time. I've currently got a PVM-20L2MD, but I find it too small.

Ideally I would like to find a Sony in the wild, at a thrift or something. I am not into buying crts for over 20 bucks. Every CRT I've purchased was no more than $5.

Probably a pipe dream though considering I don't want a model above 20-21 inches.

For me it's a 36XBR200, afaik the largest and one of the last SD trinitrons, a set which also has component.
If not that then some 36 inch tau or I'art.

The thing about these sets is that the limiting factor for me isn't price or availability, it's weight and logistics (trunk space, house space, and lifting it out of some stranger's basement).

this is not a high end CRT. please unironically stop falling for the meme that "Trinitron = quality" or even "PVM = quality"

look for professional viewing monitors that are described as such and not marketed towards consumers. don't pay more than $50 regardless of the set

Not him, but no. I had a Toshiba much newer than that (1999) die suddenly about 3 months ago, and it was a whole lot cleaner and well-kept than that thing. Yours probably hasn't been taken good care of, and it's really old. It'd be like rebuilding the engine of a rusted-out PT Cruiser.

I dont remember the exact year, I want to say early to mid 2000s, maybe 2005ish 2006ish. I like it a lot, I believe I was working retail at this time and in electronics the crts were slowly phasing out and I saw less curved screens and more of these, then i first started seeing the early hd flat tvs.
I like this particular tv a lot with my retro gaming, I dont have a ruler in me but I think this is a 15 to 17 inch screen. Colors are vibrant, not like my old sharp crt tv that was off color at the bottom right corner (probably from age it was a mid to late 90s model, i no longer have it).

You can't beat a giant TV. Bigger the better. 26" is the minimum imo.

I've been looking at other similar sets from the era. Zenith, RCA, Magnavox and Sony all made televisions in this style. What I find unique about this model is the storage space on the bottom. Most console televisions either don't have shelf space at all or have those tempered glass cabinets. But I agree with you actually, I'll probably end up with something similar since this set seems to be obscure. Most of the look-alikes I've found are beat to shit though, which sucks.

It isn't, and the comeback of vinyl and, to a less extent cassettes and the high demand for the Analogue Pocket along with the increase of GBA modding is the proof of it. You had a bad experience with a DVD but those are shit. Even VHS was better by the end of it's lifetime, since it could hold 50GB.

Do I have to buy one of those splitter boxes?

My usual setup is two consoles hooked up to a switch box with composite, and then the video out goes to my CRT and the audio goes to my receiver for my sound system.

I've got the HDMI out of the receiver hooked up to the HDTV and a capture card. I wanted to be able to display my old games on both TVs so I can record my gameplay and shit. I bought a splitter which is coming out of the switch box, and then from there it goes to both the CRT and the receiver. The problem is that once I hook up to the receiver the picture gets all dark and distorted.

Something like this just seems overkill if I just want to amplify the signal to be able to output to both TVs, and I'm not even entirely sure if that's the issue here.

I have that exact model power splitter, it does and can output to more than one TV at a time, with great picture. There is some audio noise that comes through when no game is playing (and the amp is on), but I have never heard it affect game audio. I use it everyday for gaming.

uhh so my crt is having two issues atm

one is none of the front buttons work, I think the ribbon cable for them probably fell out? how hard is that to pop back in?

two is the green is currently a bit strong, do you reckon they'll be a dial for the separate colors hidden behind the back cover?

If your lights and CRT are out of phase with eachother you can just slow the shutter way down to like 1/5th of a second. You're going to have to shoot something that isn't rapidly moving (like a title screen or a character just standing still) but you should be able to get everything sharp. You'll probably have to rest the camera on something though or use a tripod.

Hope this isn’t as stupid as I think it may be:
Does anyone here play their OG Xbox on a CRT? Are there any situations where that would be objectively desirable? Are there situations you subjectively desire that for?
I just realized the problems I was having with my Xbox on my first CRT were due to it still being set to support progressive scan from when I was playing on my LCD, and now I’m wondering if I should even bother with this besides the nostalgia.

Gen 6 video can be fuckin weird, including the Xbox
About a third of the games can work in 16:9 and a handful can even run in 720p, so yeah those aren't going to be compatible with a lot of sets. The fact that Microsoft had to release the HD Pack just shows how quickly technology was changing during gen6.
Microsoft did release official component cables back in the day, I'd imagine they might cost a bit nowadays, but if you can run those straight into your TV it'll look great - if you're after that nostalgic CRT look
If you just want to run the higher video qualities out of every game, then do what most people do, just use a Pound HDMI cable and call it a day

I have component cables. They’re actually really cheap. I ordered a package of both components and a new power cord because I noticed some weird video effects from the cables when they were plugged in without the console even on and my power cord was some random one cut to fit the back of the console, and it was only $10.
I’m just new to all this, so I wasn’t sure if there was any upside to playing a console that can do progressive scan and 16:9 resolutions on a CRT that can’t do either that I couldn’t think of.

I've never understood why PC CRTs consistently don't support 15KHz. They support large ranges of resolutions and refresh rates, but as soon as the horizontal refresh rate goes below 30 or 31KHz, it's off limits. They'll let you do crazy things like display 4000x240 at 180Hz, but it's not possible to do the same thing at 60Hz, which doesn't really make much sense.

It just would have been a lot more convenient if they would have worked with 15KHz

lots of tv lines
lots of input variety
lots of fiddly little settings you can tweak
trinitron tubes (which lots of consumer sets have as well)
they were designed to run 24/7 in like hospitals or broadcast centers or whatever, so if you take care of them they'll last for decades

Plus they're just a neat piece of broadcast tech

If you get any other CRT with Trinitron tubes and component + svideo inputs, you're like 90% of the way there. Plus it'll probably be a bigger set, PVMs are small - most PVMs out there are 14", with 20" models being out there but a bit more rare.

that's really totally up to your tastes, and also majorly depends on the console/games
though i don't think many games on a screen that large will cause you to be like, "Oh yuck, look at all those ugly textures!" or whatever

also personally I just straight up don't have room for a 200 pound 40" monster CRT so if I want to play a game that big, I'll use a converter of some kind to get it on my 4K TV

Anyone know why a VGA monitor might look dimmer at higher resolutions? If I put the resolution down to 1024x768 for example it looks brighter and the colours appear less washed out. Is this a fault of my GPU (GTX 960) or VGA cable? it's a very high res tube so these higher resolutions shouldn't be an issue for it, and sharpness is generally very good so no issues there.

I use a monitor similar to that one with almost the same specs (E771p). It's a cheap 2000s VGA monitor that can go as high as 1440x1080 at 60Hz or 1280x1024 at 65Hz, so it's not particularly good for modern content.

For older content, it's actually really good because 480p displays on it quite nicely, and it has custom color controls which you can use to boost the brightness above normal without compromising black levels, which is helpful if you're using emulation since some of the methods used to make 31KHz monitors display a 15KHz resolution usually cut the brightness in half.

The only issue with mine is that the down arrow button is a somewhat unresponsive, making it a bit of a pain to scroll the OSD.

I'm sure there is the occasional unicorn out there but its undeniable that flat crts are a hell of a lot more likely to have geometry problems compared to curved sets.

I disagree, i'm not talking about tossing a pattern up with 240p test and having perfect squares.

Every flat screen I ever seen has it, besides PC CRTs, not sure if its because they are smaller or better built or whatever.

Wanna be able to run early DX games and modern indie games on the same build. Esp wanna get real EAX up and running. I haven't heard a emulated version of EAX or A3D that sounds good enough. Figure with the right combination I can play everything from DOS to DX9 games without issues.

What's holding me up is finding a retro case, something that matches my Model M. I know I shouldn't get hung up on stuff like this but a lot of the retro hobby for me is the look and feel. Would love a horizontal case I can build in, ya know the ones that work as a CRT stand as well. Can't find anything like that.

What if the CRT voltage was increased past safe levels? Can the electronics fail in a way that allows this? Or will the set simply burn out and stop working?

I think have managed to trip the brightness protection circuit in my CRT by using the "high" mode usually reserved for looped video to increase the overall brightness of my screen. This causes a red blooming/ghosting effect if the contrast is set too high, so I just back it off until the effect goes away. But it caused me to wonder. On a completely white screen it will quickly dim itself.

It's definitely a cool idea, when done correctly, which this obviously was not. Shouldn't cost anywhere near this much, either.

Exactly. The difference between RGB and YPbPr is non-existent. I suppose its possible for there to be some imperceptible degradation because of the specific circuitry that handles the conversion from RGB to YPbPr and then back to RGB but it's theoretically lossless.

I think people have gotten so used to flat panels that modern furniture arrangements don't take CRTs into account anymore. It was super common in the 90s to have big units, sometimes even matching the TV itself, fill a corner or wall of a room. Nobody really takes into account something with that kind of footprint anymore so the space is arranged differently. Finding a place for a 32inch CRT so it doesn't get in the way could require new feng shui. Most people probably don't even have furniture meant to support the weight of a CRT these days. Giant dressers are old school.

25 is probably the smallest "big" CRT. Once you get in the 32-36 range it really can be a problem. I think what trips people up is that those big CRTs were meant to be the main family television set, not a secondary one dedicated to video games while a flat panel serves as the "real" television.

well that's about the end of DVD and the start of blu-ray. DVDs can look better on a crt depending on what your alternatives are, especially if there's a 4:3 edition of the movie that the 16:9 version is cropped from. Maybe only plasmas rival them in terms of dvd viewing

I think what some anons mean when they "don't have space" is because they do not have a large enough desk or furniture do accommodate it (worst case scenario they do use their setup on a small bedroom or something). Sure you can put your TV on the ground or put on some chair but it will look ridiculous.

Pretty much what >>7306367 said. It's pretty much impossible to find 4:3 versions of movies after I think the 70s, so all the downloads you see are the widescreen version, with the earliest ones being more like 1.66:1, so they're between 4:3 and 16:9. The thing is, most remasters are poor upscales that just look bad on my 55" LCD. It probably looks fine on a smaller one, but I enjoy the nostalgia factor. There's something about watching/playing content of a certain era on the best tech from around that time.
I'm thinking about doing the same for music. Anything released up to the invention of cassette would be listened to on vinyl, and then the same for cassette, and once I reach CD I'll have to search for when the first digital player was released and use my phone for that.
So, vinyl up to 1963, cassette from 1963 to 1982, CD from 1982 to 1996, digital from 1996 onwards.

Sony targeted the FV310's at "Pro-sumers". Quite simple really, upgrade the tube/internals to PVM grade and the only consumer set model to have an internal voltage regulator found in their PVM's.

She was about $2500 new...in 2004 dollars. Top of the line.

Sheeeeiiit. Sick. There's no reason to use the least common connector(db25), though. Console5 sells the av connectors/hoods for practically any retro console you'd want to play and bnc ends can be ordered from Amazon in either crimp or solder styles.
I would avoid buying shitty scart cables and having to adapt those anyway.
Bnc is fairly universal and will be the most compatible with any other monitors you may use.

Yeah, it's running at 240p through retroarch but also using a shader.

what type of hookup?

Also lol Metal Jesus just released a video saying
>I know I've been shilling HDMI converters and upscalers for years, but castlemania games sent me a component video switch and I moved a bunch of old consoles back to my CRT, and I forgot how good they look on this thing! Wow, I'm gonna have to rearrange my game room to get these hidden gems hooked up to this bad boy!

Okay, so I'll be getting a multiformat monitor soon, and will mainly be playing Wii on it. I've got the Wii component cables and have been wondering if GameCube games get forced to 480p if the Wii has been set to output it. I live in EU, so all my stuff is PAL

I actually like LGR and others, but MJ looks like a hobo, sounds like a brainlet, is cringe af and has the most basic info that is only useful if you're getting into the hobby. Now he managed to make free CRTs go up to 100$ "I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!". We should side with /g/, /v/ and /vg/ to organize a channel raid, or some shit.

I got a little RCA crt tv a while ago, and it seems the speaker magnet is interfettering with the signal. Causing some rainbow stripes up the side when the TV is showing black. It's not really noticeable when it's showing any other color.
Curious if there's anything I can do about it. Doesn't seem to have any means to degauss that I see.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 22 15:59:39 2021 No.7321045 >>7321035 If you don't have a degauss coil, you could try using a drill if you have one. I've heard that works also.

Haven't had a crt since there was a dedicated degauss button on them and they made a "chirp" noise and wobbleyjanked the output for a sec.

Covid isn't shit, and every issue around it has been due to mismanagement at a state and local level.
200,000 people die every month, you don't even notice. We've had higher excess death rates in recent years with no covid.
It's all horseshit.
The "insurrection" was horseshit too. They literally opened the fuckin doors for them.

But thanks for taking me and my siblings jobs, real cool. Also the like 20 businesses around me that have shut down. At least you can order your chink shit of amazon though. Why leave your house at all.

Guess who has the most power, even over state and local gov, to try and reign in a catastrophe? Oh yeah, the president. Maybe if he didn't discount the severity of the virus and practically deny its existence until he caught it himself, less people would've died. Sorry your job, which is probably working at a fucking restaurant as a busboy or some other peon shit, was lost to try and prevent even more people from dying. Saying "covid ain't shit" when it kills more than the flu and has permanent lasting effects such as loss of taste or fucked up lungs is absolutely ignorant. Nearly the whole god damn world besides the US has taken it seriously by now, but Americans are too fucking stupid and prideful to take precautions. Yes, the cops let them in, but guess who still committed trespassing, vandalism, and everything else that happened INSIDE the building? Yup, the Trumpers did.

Nearly my whole family has had covid, so has my wife's. Including our 90 year old grandmothers. It isn't shit. Practically the only people at risk are the elderly, and the state leaderships decided to shove a bunch of covid patients in with their homes. Oh, and a multinational study just showed that lockdowns aren't helpful. So believe the science. Believe it!
I made airplane parts, but that's not really important when people aren't flying. Contract didn't get renewed so the whole shop is in jeopardy. Not sure how they're doing now, but I know they shut down the FMS since they also laid off the guy who ran that. That's 3 large CNC mills that cost over a million each plus an automated palette transfer system.

I just picked up this Sanyo widescreen model CRT, which I planned to use for my PS2 and Xbox. Unfortunately the screen has a terrible amount of overscan which I cannot seem to fix with the basic menu. It didn't come with a remote so I'm unable to access the service menu at this time but I was wondering if any of you guys knew a fix which didn't require disassembly.
