I wish I could play na games on JP sfc

I always hated how blurry and shitty everything looked on crts growing up, and buying a new lcd changed how I see media forever. Now you faggots want me to go back to everything being blurry and shitty to play all the games I love even though I have them looking crisp and clear now?

Old video games look weird without the small break in sprites or text

Tbh I played chrono trigger on an actual snes through my flat screen and it didn't look bad at all.

>>378598415
I really don't see the problem, looks great, also in third world CRT monitors are common, i have like 5 in perfect condition, but they are too big to move around every time i want to play
>>378601041
don't know why but with genesis it happens the same, doesn't look bad at all even on high resolution TVs, PS2 does look horrible and blurry though

>>378598415

how did u get ur microwave to display the screen like that?

>>378599761
The old console systems exploited the TV refresh rates and scanlines to achieve the desired effects. You totally lose those on a LCD screen. A lot of games, Streets of Rage 2 as an example, look worse on LCD because the dithering effects used to simulate transparency dont get bled properly and you just get a checkerboard of pixels that you were supposed to even be aware of.

Only on 4chan will you find fuckers autistic enough to care about this shit.

It's okay though, I love this place for that as I'm the same desu

Perfection.

>>378603023

I never use to like shadowmask sets, but there's a certain charm to them if you're playing in composite.

>>378598624
It's like $400-$500 for a device that will make your retro games look okay on a HDTV with input lag
You could do that or just buy a retropie to play on your HDTV for only $100ish if you want them looking good on a big screen

>>378602638
PSX has checkerboarding/dithering artifacts out the ass on a ton of games on anything above composite, even on CRT. Its weird how completely non future proof 90s games were.

>>378599761
>CRT
>blurry

Maybe if you have an old ass 5 inch one from 1980 ment for camping.

All the 90's and early 2000's look great and sharp at any res these old consoles used, thats why you need a crt for old consoles. Also because converting from analog to digital in a modern tv causes latency.
>>378600505
>expensive
Unless you mean PMV, but any toshiba or sony from the late 90's-2005 look great.

Ok the only reason I'm asking is because it's hard as fuck to find a good one at a reasonable price, but can someone spoonfeed me a link to a great crt tv that doesn't cost an arm to buy?

>>378604034

You want a 20M2MDU, they run from $300-$500. If you can't afford that then you shouldn't be playing videogames in the first place & should get back to work on sorting yourself out. Please keep in mind these are slowly creeping up in price, & may be $600 or more by year's end. You've been warned.

I've got like 5 & they were all free. I don't have anything to defend since I don't have anything invested in them. If you can find one that's fine, if not that's fine too.

>>378598624
You can probably visit a goodwill and find any old CRT that will yield better results than a framemiester.

>>378604569
I don't know where any of you fucks live but I've spend days off visiting every second hand store in a 10 mile radius and never found one goddamn CRT TV. I'm convinced that the market has dried up and they've all either been taken or have been junked.

Irreverent because they were designed on that outrageously expensive equipment. Just because the general public didn't have it doesn't mean the devs didn't.

Once you get some BNC cables you can use component cables on it. You need at least 3 for video (red green blue) & one for audio. It's got two line ins on the back so you might want 6 in case you want two things plugged in at once.

You might also want to put caps on the RGB out to town down the RGB levels too.

I guess, just be sure you order the safest shipping humanly possible. These things break all the time in the mail. Get one locally if at all possible. You also might want to get some 75 ohm terminators to cap off the unused RGB outs. (it might get too bright if they're not covered)

>Hoping to play Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo,

Those don't do component. You can get RGB out of them though. To do that you need one of these & then A Euro Scart cable for each system you want o get RGB out of. If you just want to use those systems for composite video or S-Video though you could. I don't see why you would want to buy an RGB monitor & not play in RGB though. The PS2 does RGB too, component cables on a gamecube are fucking expensive though so I would just use a wii if I were you.

TLDR: If you want to get the best video possible out f your 6th gen games down you need more cables.

I have it, I'm not THAT lazy. I just have 10 other systems hooked up to that tv, only non RCA cable I have is component for PS2, but I dislike how 3D games look on LCD, so use RCA for same tv.
>2. Snes, 64, and cube all use the same cable, $10 at most on eBay.
