if it's true multiscan at that range and can handle 24khz, that's a real unicorn in the west. I only know of one commodore monitor that'll do it (my 20L5 can't and MY commodore monitor can't either).
The X68000 monitors were usually 24khz capable too.

I never got tired of that.

If by Nokia you mean a Nexus 6, then yes.

Congrats! I'm pretty jealous - always thought the laserActive looked cool, and I've been needing a laserdisc player for a long time.

Not me, cunt. But I'm kinda (pleasantly) suprised about it, too.

When you've programmed for the VIC-20 (unexpanded VIC-20 has 3583 bytes free, 5120 total) 60 megabytes to parse a webpage is kind of ridiculous.
From a more modern standpoint, I've made a webpage parser in C that runs on windows, Linux, and OS X where the binary takes 700 kilobytes.

I move pictures to a separate external hard disk periodically.
I don't need a specialized 'web browser' that only works on one site and takes up 60 megabytes or whatever.

I don't feel like arguing now, so I'm just gonna play zelda and stop looking for a bit.

I use a browser because I don't want an app for everything just acting as webpage parsers because a browser's somehow not good enough.

My choice of app, judge if you want. But I'm not about to use something like that and just waste storage space.

Heh, I'll admit I have several projects that now live permanently on solderless breadboards because I never cared enough to go past the prototyping stage once the circuit worked.

Ancient pic, still what it looks like.

I don't like flicking up through hundreds of post to type a reply and flick back down through hundreds of posts. It's fatiguing and slow without a proper scrollbar. I try to keep up to date, but it doesn't always happen.

I post from my phone. I read everything and by the time I get done responding more has been posted. I don't check again before I hit send because that would repeat indefinitely. It's definitely less convenient than a desktop for that.

Still experimenting with exposure settings.

Why isn't RGB being amplified INSIDE your consoles (assuming you actually did that)?

I mean, cool, I guess, but I'd have drilled holes on the back of the TV and added some more jacks.

>>3335187
What the fuck is that IC for?

>>3335206
oh yeah, amd it does look like it's scaling.

Well first, you should be rotating your pics.
Second, is this linux?
Windows isn't exactly flexible with video modes.

Intel drivers under linux do work in your scenario.

This is definitely my favorite temple in OOT.

p.s. I agree, I absolutely love tri-dot shadowmasks. Though I like my PC trinitron monitor, too.

Old pic, tri-dot 15khz panasonic BT-H1390YN video monitor next to my sony CPD-100SF PC monitor (made circa 1996).

Shadow masks are just as capable as trinitrons of having those 'anti-lines', though it'd be harder to make them that way beyond a point.
The main real technical advantage of the trinitron style tube is that you can light more of the surface area of the tube than with a tri-dot mask, so images appear brighter. Trinitrons got their reputation due to a bright color image - the early shadow mask tubes they competed against could not compete.
TV's moved to a 'slot mask' style from tri-dot because this gets very close to the luminance of an aperture grille, but the result is a drastically lower maximum resolution while retaining said brightness.

Tri-dot masks, with the improved phosphors of recent decades, can match the detail of an aperture grille - if they both used the same phosphors, the AG would still win on brightness, though.

Anyway, AGs were historically thought of as 'the best' because they initially had a huge improvement upon their contemporary competitors. They got a 'high end' idea attached to them. It stuck.

The only real disadvantages of AGs are weight and the dampening wires.

But anyway, not all trinitrons/AG tubes have vast black areas. Consumer TV ones are pretty similar to consumer TV slot shadow masks when viewed at the same distance; they simply have the 'trinitron' name, and the associated weight and dampening wires and a slightly higher luminance.

Sony did make a sturdy and reliable TV, though, usually, so you knew what you were getting.

Testing my Nexus 6's camera.
Seems alright. I think I'm gonna add a RAW shooting mode to OpenCamera though.
