CRT makes very bad monitors, and you're gonna be stuck with 800x600 at best

I have this oldass Vistapoint 80hz monitor that i got out of the trash.
It is infinitely better than the shitty lcd tv I was using before. yeah, the resolutions smaller but that wasn't really a problem for me pre-2010

>you're gonna be stuck with 800x600 at best
nigger you what? Mine has 1024x768 native

>>58817837
>>58817859
dont assume monitor, i want it as a tv

>>58817869
What model?

my parents had a 32" Wega, 1024 looked like shit, and the text was unreadable in most cases. Had to lower it to 800 to make it usable.

>154W

my entire PC + monitor don't even reach half that

>>58817910
lol. Old Sony CRTs use 275 watts

>>58817647
What country uses 240V mains but also spells color as color instead of colour?

>>58817859
My last CRT did 1280x1024@85hz. Just saying.

>>58818178
I was referring to TVs being used as monitors. sorry for the mixup

>>58817647
dumb question, are CRTs 120hz by default or what?

>>58818937
Depends what frequency your line mains is.

I bought a 13'' Panasonic CRT from Salvation Army for $5 to play Super Smash Bros Melee on my gamecube.
The built in vcr had a copy of Die Hard 2 in it, tv works amazing, never had a problem. An overall win

>>58817786
I own a KV32-FV310 and a 36-FV310. Paid $25 for the 32

Protip, check Goodwills near upper-class areas and git gud

>DiamondTron

n o i c e

I want to get a large-screen diamondtron

>>58819066
I have a 22" back at my house.
2560x2048@54Hz
Have to run it in fglrx x
Windows soft caps 2560x1600 for VGA

>>58819000
wtf is this bullshit.

>>58818937
no.

I would be cool to see some modern CRT that has better contrast than old crt's.

The idea of using something that doesn't use real material pixels is cool to me.

>tfw new gpu doesnt have an analog output
>tfw i literally had to downgrade my monitor because of "new" tech

Maybe ill switch to amd if they support analog in their next cards.

>>58819086
If you don't even know what line mains frequency is then you don't deserve on of the worlds finite dwindling CRT displays.
>>58819101
Google SED

>>58819117
That is why I got a 980ti instead of a 1070 or 1080.

>>58819133
I had a 980ti but i had to RMA it and they gave me a 1070 as a replacement. And when i emailed them about it they told me to get a new monitor.

>>58819122
I know what mains frequency is, and it has nothing to do with vertical scan rate.

btw SED is a matrix of tubes and therefore has "real material pixels"

>>58819101
crt's do kinda use pixels sorta, or at least something that resembles pixels

difference being is that they can be upscaled/downscaled much better due to how they work and don't really have a native resolution, aside from the number of lines

>>58818937
they support wide range of frequencies, depending on coils inside and resolution

Trinitron master race. I sold my pc and I want to try plug old PS3 into my glorious CRT. Can i buy some chink convertor? How would you do it?

>>58819933
ps3 to vga then vga to BNC?

>>58819958
BNC has the VGA male on it already, any trick for the HDMI to go to VGA, I've read its pain, scaling is shit, plus the sound will be a problem. And im not keen on spending more for hdmi to vga convertor then ive paid for the whole crt...
Maybe PS2 would be easier?

>>58820202
no dude use the AV connector

>>58817647
how the fuck do I get an external 400+ MHz DAC going on a new-ish GPU?

It seems like every DP->VGA adapter out there is garbage.

Does any manufacturer still put a DAC and a DVI-I port on their new cards?

>>58817647
I was tempted to get a CRT TV in order to play PS1 games on hardware again. Then I remembered how fuckhuge and heavy and power-guzzling they are, and scratched that idea.

I might still make an (RGB+sync-on-composite)->VGA adapter. Apparently I need to chain several filters and ICs, and would need to verify that I have a monitor that can accept 240p.

>>58821503 (Me)
I think sync-on-luma (using the svideo Y signal) works too. The pinout info for the PS1 seems a bit inconsistent but it probably makes sense to get sync from the least busy comp signal.
