Wrong!

IPS will do you fine if you never have any plans on playing any competitive online games.

What kind of fucking input lag are you getting on a modern IPS? It might not be THE most responsive, but any of that shit is imperceptible.

You guys are so fucking excessive. Do you really think an extra ms is gonna fuck you over when everyone is dealing with network latency ontop of probably also using an IPS?

120hz was the norm back then

Okay, so show me a 1440p/144hz CRT monitor I can buy.

you can't hear that frequeny, unless you're a dog. You can't use a computer, go lie down.

Literally every human being with functioning ears under 25 can hear that frequency, what the fuck are you actually talking about

you don't hear the frequency of a CRT refresh rate, retard. You hear the vibrations at the frequency of the electron gun firing, which is the horizontal refresh rate x the vertical refresh rate.

For standard def CRTs, that's 15khz, which you can hear, which results in that EEEEEEEEEE sound
For HDCRTs, CRT PC monitors, etc, they make a sound at 31khz, which is beyond human hearing. That's why your old PC monitor didn't make sound like your old TV did.

Yes.
I'd rather have every peripheral preform at it's best in order to have little disadvantage as possible.
If that's not you, fine whatever, but I can afford to not have those slight handicaps.

PC CRT monitors have a horizontal scan rate of 31kHz at 480p60Hz. This is completely outside of the human range of hearing for even the youngest and most sensitive of hearing.

Typical PC CRT monitors were used at a scan rate of 96kHz, which is over 4 times the highest end of the range of human hearing.

Pro-gaming settings are a fucking joke. Lighting is a part of games, and trying to eliminate it is granting an unfair advantage.
Why not just design abstract levels if that's what you are going for.

Roll over you fuck

Looks extremely comfy

When your phone automatically adjusts the white balance in a black environment it will amplify the lighting on a screen, yes.

Did you have any actual points you wanted to make?

Reminder that the contrast of CRT's is actually TOO high.
sRGB's contrast ratio of the darkest non-black is around 1:3000, and your typical CRT crushes it to levels way below that, making games darker than they should be.

Yeah but idiots who don't actually know anything think crushed blacks are good. They don't realize the loss of detail because they don't understand contrast.

I love my CRTs for standard def content, but fuck using a CRT for HD content, especially on my PC.

Jesus fucking Christ, dude. I fucking hate you. With a burning passion. You post this image ALL THE FUCKING TIME. We get it. CRTs are incredible technology. They're genuinely wonderful. I own two Trinitrons myself, one for my room and one for my den where most of my consoles are hooked up. The one in my room is even a decent PVM. I know how good they look. The black levels are incredible. The sharpness on the PVM is out of this world. We also know how shit LCD panels can be, especially older ones.

You don't have to make the same god damn thread week after week. There is no new discussion to be had. If you want to talk about or show off your CRTs, consider - a board with a significantly higher quality of posts compared to Yea Forums that will actually appreciate the technology. There is literally a thread dedicated to people posting pictures of their CRTs. Instead, you choose to dwell on Yea Forums and post the same six or seven images that are at least a decade old showing how amazing well-developed tech is compared to, at the time, extremely early tech. I'll take my lightweight, widescreen, high refresh rate, mountable, and less power hungry monitor for my PC for nearly every situation.

Oh yeah, as a side note - it's not 2006 anymore. You can't go to your local school, college, or broadcast station and just get CRTs and PVMs for fucking free. Don't even try that shit with me. They're not going to appear randomly, there's no such thing as CRTs 'R' Us for you to go buy a new one.

Fuck you, OP.

i fucking hate you parroting children. some youtuber told you this shit and you don't know enough or have enough experience to actually substantiate this opinion.

Oh am I not supposed to point out the facts here?

Theres no frame of reference for those pics. Screen type, brand (except the apple), settings for the picture being taken, a control for the image. You cant just post a random picture and assert its proof of anything.

See how almost all of them are insanely grainy? The ISO is way too high, the camera is too sensitive to light for that low light setting, which is then amplifying the light bleed on the screen.

My thoughts exactly. OLED would be perfect if they could solve the burn-in issue. Until that happens, I don't see myself using it, ever.

Imagine trying this hard to defend getting grifted on flat panels that you insist 12 different people didn't take photos correctly

I choose my 21:9 144hz monitor instead. Call me when they make CRTs that offer the same.

It's not 2006 anymore. There are no CRTs left out on the fucking curb anymore. You know what people had in 2006? Brand new HDTVs. Those garbage fucking TVs are what are sitting on the curb now. Try getting outside instead of calling unlucky people redditors.

I honestly consider myself beyond lucky - the TV sat in a single spot for well over twenty years, non-smoking home, taken extremely good care of. Every CRT I've seen on the curb over the past few years have either been rear projection, tiny ass VCR combo units, or simply broken beyond any reasonable repair.

>still thinks its 2010

>Until that happens, I don't see myself using it, ever.
It probably won't happen and it'll be passed on for a better LCD technology down the line. OLED has issues way beyond burn in such as blue diode death.

Not that user but seriously you should learn about photography it's pretty cool, because you clearly have no idea how it works. Not even defending the actual point of the picture, LCD screen black levels being shit, but that is not good picture to prove your point.

Actually there were still fucktons of people putting trinitrons out on the curb in 2014-2016 when I was paying attention to this stuff.

You're missing the point. With pictures like these, the photo results in the problem looking much more pronounced than it really is. I don't think anyone is arguing that LCDs don't have problems with black levels, because obviously they do. It's just that it doesn't look as bad as in these camera shots

I'm actually a master photographer, none of what he said was true. I do my color grading on a lacie22 electron blue4.

You're right. I should. Your mother is waiting.

I recently got a crt and noticed that Gamecube era and later look no better than on an hdtv, though admittedly neither tv I use has s-video. The generation before though, at least seems to have better lighting in dark areas on crt, where it can be almost impossible to see shit on an lcd.

It's a game of chance, dude. I'm sure if I kept waiting, a CRT in the same condition I got mine in would have just shown up and I would be $60 richer. But when was that gonna be? Tomorrow? A month from now? Another year? Longer? What's $60 and a short ride to the next town over compared to waiting literal years for a CRT to just show up?

are these even made anymore / is crt the one that causes cancer / do any of them work with HDMI in any capacity?
entry level questions for an entry level thread, since this isn't a general, is someone not jaded enough to ignore these?

cool. will a cheap HDMI to VGA adapter go me good? my GPU has no dvi

That's because 5th gen and before, almost all games used 240p (with the scanlines), whereas 6th gen was that awkward middle ground where the resolution was 480i, as in interlaced.

Even then, 480i games still look a fuckton better on a standard def CRT compared to on an LCD. Although if you have component cables to play those games in 480p, they end up looking nice on an LCD.

Nice, how did you get yours?

I have a 1080i flat screen trinitron that takes DVI D. Same as hdmi just no audio

Show me, nigger. I looked for years. Literal years. I've seen more mid 2000s 720p flat panels than you've probably ever seen in your fucking life. I was sick and fucking tired of waiting.

>are these even made anymore

>is crt the one that causes cancer
no, that's old propaganda, but blue light in flat panels is being linked to tons of issues now.
> do any of them work with HDMI in any capacity?
yeah but it's an analog display so you're best off using dvi-i.

Kijiji

Where exactly do you live? Maybe it's just a matter of location. I live nearby Philly and there was CRT stuff out the ass all day every day when I was looking.

Best of both worlds is 480p on a multiformat CRT.

Input lag is fine. Slower pixel refresh times can lead to a higher degree of screen motion blur/trailing but it's not really bad these days as long as you get a decent model. What is bad about IPS gaming monitors is the IPS glow, in dark scenes some or all of the corners will glow up with a very noticeable yellow tint. Some get used to it, some can't stand it. With bias lighting it's improved somewhat.

ISO and underexposure are the two things that cause noise in digital photography.

For a grand majority of the US, and I'd argue a lot of other first world countries, there's not that level of luck just laying around. It's also not worth it for me to drive all the way to NYC for a "free" CRT when I could pay cash and have one within ten minutes of my house.

Standard definition CRT handles 480i natively so it looks pretty nice despite the interlacing effect. On an LCD it doesn't have to look bad if the deinterlacing is good.

Yeah, picked it up last Saturday for $100.

I suppose, but that depends on your screen and whether you have one that handles deinterlacing well.

For me personally, there was a long period of time before I was redpilled on CRTs where I was playing stuff like Wii and PS2 on a newer LCD HDTV. I remember my games looking like straight ass, and thinking "gee, I don't remember them looking this bad when I first got them" but just chalked it up to nostalgia.

But no, turned out it actually did just look like ass on the LCD. Hooked them back up to the old CRT I used to use, and they look great.
And another underrated "feature" of CRTs is the way they don't do exact pixels results in a natural antialiasing effect, so even at lower res, jaggies are much less pronounced

I've never used one. I'm sure there's got to be some shitty downside to those too, right?

>You two are not most people.

>fat people would want inceLEDs since its light for their fat asses to pick up

There's panel lottery involved for sure, but it's a problem to a greater or lesser degree on many of them. Try putting up a completely black screen in a dark room and see if you can spot it in addition to the shitty black levels IPS also has. I have the xb270hu and my panel definitely has glow in dark areas, so I would never play a very dim and dark game on it. I play those on an OLED TV and trust me it looks much better, the contrast makes any light source pop. From dark grey and up in brightness the glow is hardly noticeable anymore on the IPS though.

Quake 4 or Doom 3 or whatever that is sucks shit
Halflife 2 is shit, but the PC version of halo is much fucking worse
That keyboard makes me wanna fucking puke
SOME sony trinitrons were good - the one in your pic is garbage, but it's less horrendous to play on than the fucking early shit dell you have (look at that color contrast, disgusting blacks and horrible blur)

NOWADAYS there are flat panels that are pretty good and beat most CRTs. unless you have like a $500 CRT like the viewsonic PF 795 or something that does 1920x1440 at 100+hz (and therefore can do 240hz at lower resolutions for things like quake 3 / cpma / ut99 / xonotic / warsow / reflex / toxikk / the upcoming diabotical, you're better off with a regular ~$200 144hz 1080p monitor

What's wrong with spiders? They're bros.

its not, its not a good doom game but its a pretty good horror game. I bet you think FF8 is a bad game too because some e-celeb mongoloid made a video about it

Avoid eBay at all costs. There's no reason decades-old TVs should be worth anything more than $20.

I'll bite, they're not very photogenic and although there is some color loss and saturation and massive amounts of gamma they're extremely good compared to the shit we had in 2002-3 or so. I remember the great leap at about 2005 when that shit was finally tolerable, we're light years ahead. Still love my crt, but it died.

Yeah aliasing does improve on CRTs. In 480i the interlacing effect in itself kind of blends in with the aliasing so it doesn't look as pronounced, coupled with the other benefits of CRT tech you mentioned. I also have an old Japanese LCD from 2008 that has a lot of legacy support for 240p/480i content with tons of s-video and YPbPr inputs, and its deinterlacing is pretty decent. Wii 480p YPbPr looks sharper than 480i on my CRT but on the flip side the jaggies look way worse. Xenoblade Chronicles looks like it was rendered by an epileptic in a disco.

Just go to any thrift store and there will be many CRT televisions, sadly I never find monitors. Is a TV with an HDMI to Composite adapter good enough?

CRTs are hard to photograph for a dozen reasons. Photos don't replicate how they look in real life. DSLRs can get close but they're not like LCDs where it's a still, flat image.

God damn guys just let it go

Go back in time and stop Canon from shitting the bed with FED/SED technology

I hated it because the weapons were shitty. They sounded shitty, and even felt shitty. We all know the flashlight was retarded. The level design had some nice geometry, but they mostly boiled down to corridors. Enemy bodies disappearing sucked. I didnt care for the story. The game needed a lot more levels set in hell.

this is such horseshit this game looked amazing on pc when it came out was one to test that graphics card ya just bought and its a great half life style doom game. fucking loved this game as much as doom 2 and doom 64

This is closer to OLED than CRT. Sure you had tiny electron tubes as the pixels but in the end it's still fixed-grid pixel arrangements that lead to shitty scaling and blur on lower resolutions. It had contrast going for it but so does OLED.

VA has better black levels than IPS but more motion blur/trailing and poorer viewing angles. It's the best alternative for OLED on TVs since they're the most resilient to burn-in and still retain decent black levels, as long as they have full array local dimming with many zones. The best $2000 gaming monitors with 4k 144hz, g-sync and 1000 nit HDR also uses this panel technology with FALD.

i love the dark aesthetic. i play games as dark as i can.

OLED55B6P from 2016 here. No burn in at all yet, and I play retro shit and leave static desktop open on it constantly like a 3rd monitor.
Only burn in i've seen was temporary from Super Mario Bros 3 playing all day, bar along the bottom briefly.

I don't miss CRTs but part of me would like one back just so I could play old PC games without having to worry about workarounds for resolution all the time.

>bruh I know lets turn off all the lights and then max out the brightness
what retard

Burn-in is permanent, so what you saw was image retention. Temporary image retention is almost unavoidable with static elements but it goes away pretty fast. If you do get burn-in, which some definitely do under some conditions (panel lottery, high brightness level, bright red, orange and yellow static elements), the burned in part of the image would be evident in most color shades and be annoying as fuck.

Wish I still had a computer CRT. All I have now are these shits.

Those are LCDs not showing an image at all. This is how shitty their "black level" is, utterly destroyed by OLED which is as black as if the screen was turned completely off. Brightness has nothing to do with it whatsoever because that only affects an actual image being displayed.

>Had a nice Sony Trinitron 29 inch
>Mom just gave it away without telling me.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. I LOVED THAT TV.

IPS is the patrician choice, tardass.

enjoy your glow

the PVM meme is a poor PC monitor?

>100 years later and CRT still essily compete against LEDs
How embarrassing

prove it then. bring your rebuttal.

No, it's a high end monitor with high quality phosphors and a very high line count. The bottom one is a 20L5 which for a lot of people is a holy grail due to its multiformat syncing and no real sync issues.

I have no idea how to use them as a PC monitor, so I've never tried; I just use them for VHS and my PS2. I used to have a 30 inch XM29 monitor which had a VGA port and it was the best PC monitor that I've ever owned, but I unfortunately had to get rid of it due to space at the time.

I'll enjoy my lack of color value clipping and actual decent colors. Your glow is practically superfluous and irrelevant outside of the inherent display brightness required to accurately display the range of colors it provides.
The only complaint of merit with regards to IPS is the inability to display the deepest blacks and the high cost for high refresh rates. IPS should be preferable to those who are uninterested in seeking refresh rates higher than 60hz, or at the very least at the cost of what could otherwise afford them a more accurate color space.

They're not made for use as a PC monitor, the resolution is typically standard definition just like old tube TVs. They're excellent for retro consoles though, the image quality from an RGB source is pristine.

hey guys is the CRT deadly radioactive xrays a meme or it's actually a thing? I remember that a buddy of mine back in the day had some kind of blueish screen that would go over the CRT monitor to "reduce the bad waves coming from it". Is that a 90's meme or that was actually a thing?

It's a meme.

You get more radiation exposure from eating a banana than you do from a year's worth of CRT usage.

What system are you playing on?

it was marketing from lcd manufacturers.

Lest we forget woods natural ability to produce spiders out of thin air.

I'd like to know how my LG OLED has the Science Channel logo burned in after I let my parents sleep over for two nights, then.

All I can say is that you're a lucky man. Don't know what else to tell you.

You did try the pixel refresh, right? I've had logos retain in the image but the manual pixel refresh always cleans it up.

Spiders seek out that kind of habitat, moron!

I have. It's still there, ever so faintly. It's only really noticeable on a pitch black screen, but the fact that it's there is more depressing than anything.

It must be rough living in Australia.

Right, 100% of the time

ok, here's what you do my man. unplug all cables from the CRT. then, flip it over. take off the stand. it won't be needed. pick it up again, then shove it right up your fucking ass!

God I hate this so fucking much
Lower right corner in my screen already suffers that after 2 years

>the PVM meme is a poor PC monitor?
They take only very specific resolutions that TVs used and almost all models do not take RGB with separate H & V sync that is standard for analog PC output.

They're nice tubes, but awful choices for PC content given they already cost quite a bit and require external signal management to display anything.

did you try changing the ISO of your eyes

PVM is for broadcast use, so it can't do anything better than regular NTSC video. Shit for PCs but great for consoles, VHS, and DVD.
