hey /g/, just got this bad boy from the """"""garbage""""""

Well there's one in my back yard I'm waiting to throw away

>>55919798
I don't

lol your job tricked you into hauling away their garbage for them

why did you put too many quotation marks around the word "garbage"?

>>55920097
Because it's full of perfectly good food and pentium 4s

>>55920097
because often times there's stuff worth taking

for instance, there were once a stack of Dell Optiplex desktops with i7s and only bad motherboards. Would cost only $50 to fix it entirely. There's also sometimes old xeon powered servers that'd function perfectly fine at home but aren't worth the effort to resell after being replaced with upgrades

>>55920153
I've rarely found anything better than Netburst era garbage. Best thing I found was a single E5520 DL360 G6.

>>55919798
Good job OP, you're encumbering yourself with an oversize paperweight.

>>55920153
>>55920120
protip: just because stuff that's valuable to you is in the garbage doesn't mean it's no longer "the garbage".

pajeets dig through dumps all the time looking for scrap metal; nobody puts quotations around it. it's still garbage. no sarcasm necessary (and as an aside, one set of quotation marks is enough)

>how do you guys use CRT monitors in the digital age?
I send them to be "recycled" in some Indian/Chinese landfill where they can help poison some mud people.
I like to think i am helping against over population.

>>55920490
What kind of controller is that?

>>55920681
*The rectangular one, not the Xbox controller, obviously.

>>55920681
Looks like a master system controller.

>>55920760
I mean, sure I know it's not, but it has the similar shitty design console controllers had back then.

>>55920707
It's a Elecom Famicom-style USB controller that I bought in Japan ages ago

>>55920810
>Elecom Famicom-style USB controller
Thanks, looks pretty neat desu

>>55920490
do you use any active converters?

>>55919798
seconding OP's question.

I've got an old but good CRT (130 kHz horizontal bandwidth) and apparently GPUs quit having DACs a few years ago.

How good are DP -> VGA dongles?

>>55920120
>Pentium 4s
It IS garbage

>>55922511
I don't really know how good they are, I use two with a nvs 295 and two shitty 1280x1024 monitors and they seem perfect for what they're doing

172hz

I wish I still had my old CRT.

I had to replace it when one day I turned it on and the whole screen was purple, squished, and missing most visual information. Then it went boom.

>>55920490
>>55920681
I'd also like to know. The most similar that I can find is Buffalo's USB Famicom controller.

>>55919798
>What fucking gives?
You're using an active converter. A lot of GPUs no longer support pure analog output.

>how do you guys use CRT monitors in the digital age?
I use them for gaymes, of course. For everything else LCD and LED are better.

>>55923503
>2048x1536 @70hz For desktop

why would you do this to yourself?
are your eyes incapable of perceiving flicker, and isn't text blurry as shit when the pixels are smaller than individual phosphor triads?

>>55924437
2048x1536 is native for a lot of higher end CRTs, so no. Also if you can see flicker at 70Hz, I pity you.

>>55919798
I have a tiny one with a ps2 and a hdd strapped to it.

>>55924477
2048x1536 is the max for a lot of CRTs, but if you look at the dot/aperture pitch, you very seldom see anything finer than 0.22 mm, which equates to something like 1800x1300 on a 20" viewable display.

And yeah, 70 Hz is readily visible to me on an up-close CRT, and anything below 100 Hz will give me eyestrain by the end of the day at most. Even 120 Hz strobing on 30"+ LCD monitors kills me, but at least the duty cycle for those can usually be adjusted.

>>55919798

Just use the adapter who gives a fuck what it's rated for

where's the meme?
>>55924764
maybe someday I'll shell out for a 980ti which has dvi-i, but by the time they're cheap enough to warrant the upgrade they'll all be too used and not worth it
>tfw I'm going to have to leave this relegated to my old thinkpad and might not be able to play new games on it

Modern IPS looks better than the most high end crt can hope to look.

and while i can slightly feel the latency of an led monitor over crt the difference is minimal and will have practically no effect even in autistic games LIKE QUAKE.

the only reason i have a crt is to play old games that look like ass at high resolutions.

>>55925107
meh, color accuracy aside, IPS has shit black levels compared to other panels let alone CRT, and high refresh rates are always a bonus
I'd rather play nudoom at 1600x1200@85hz with perfect blacks on the CRT than 2560x1440@60hz with a wider color gamut and bright blacks

>>55925158
explain the perfect blacks maymay to me

because every fucking crt ive used has always had crt glow.

hell my fucking sony led tv in my livingroom has a deeper black level than the sony trinitron i use for retro gaming

>>55925188
do you have a plasma tv? that might be why
honestly the horrific blacks on almost any screen I look at make me want to vomit. I have an amoled phone so the difference is clear to me. anything even remotely decent I could fawn over, and the IPS meme is one of the worst that's plagued the industry recently when VA is better in almost every way, especially in blacks

in general I want a CRT for gaming because my current IPS monitor has shit black levels and 60hz

>>55925224
nope its led.

To be honest though it has the deepest black level ive ever seen an led have. It is a fairly high end tv, cost me 750$ last year for 1080p

Maybe every crt ive had is shit or something, or maybe the one im using is just wearing out considering it was manufactured in 1996

gotta love them CRTs

the picture and screen remains unscathed even when they've been trashed and sitting in some filthy garage for 14 years

It's not garbage until it's literally in the garbage .

>>55925405
"the garbage bin at work" is literally in the garbage. if you're trying to make a different point, learn more words, like "dump" or "landfill".

honestly i would have expected that these words would come up sooner in an indian english language class. you people seem to need it sooner than you need words like "toilet" and "hygiene"

>>55925386
I at least applaud you for giving source on the image.

>>55919798
you can use these crt boxes but I don't know if it apply to much input lag.

>>55925427
Lol

>>55925432
why would i deprive a pajeet of his moment in the spotlight? some good white journalists went into OP's home and documented his life, we might as well see it.

That's really nice, not really something that I would use myself, there are way better CRTs but it's something if you can't find better.

>how do you guys use CRT monitors in the digital age?
With old computers and consoles.
