Modern Games Look Amazing On CRT Monitors... Yes, Better than LCD!

>Boomer in the video
>Shilling for outdated trash
Figures, I'll stick to my 32 inch 4K monitor.

Only if your CRT can do 16:9 720p.

>32 inch 4K monitor.
And you will play zero 4k content on it with decent framerates for atleast 5 years.

That's because you plugged in all your consoles with composite or RF so it was a lot blurrier

>digital foundry
even if they're right about this i'm not believing anything they say

It's true though. It's literally how the screen works. Not enough to be harmful, but it is fact:

accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=1020.10

because good crts are fucking expensive these days. gdm-fw900s go for a thousand dollars now and most games don't have 4:3 support anymore without ini tweaking or mods.

Not great not terrible

Goddamn youtubers are going to jack up the prices of CRTs like they did retro games.

My 2070 super plays most everything at 4k 60 fps.

But I have been playing in 4k since 2016?

I think these retards are trying to imply that boomers had a better experience because used CRTs growing up or something.
t. typed on an 87" LG TV, at 4k resolution, 120fps. born 1981. Fuck CRTs.

that is the intention. Everyone knows what they are spewing is bullshit, especially comparing any CRT to an OLED, it's not even in the same field. Even basic IPS panels look miles better than a CRT does anymore. This is a move to try and push the price of CRTs, and studio monitors back up in price because they are at a all time low now. It's also why they keep trying to push retro consoles so much because before you could get a dreamcast for like 100-200 bucks, now you can get them for like 20 dollars.

This is literally just an attempt to save their careers.

Except RT was always used in every single CG rendering and it's the natural evolution of graphics. You're just a poor nigger.
While I do agree that Nvidiot is pushing the prices a bit much, RT was always the final destination of realtime graphic for a lot of reason and it's going to be used no matter what Nvidiot are doing. Some games like Fornite are already using raytracing for some small elements on their own way even on old PS4/Bones. Nvidia found a way to accelerate it, that's all. AMD are working on their own hardware implementation, and engine devs already managed to make it run without needing dedicated hardware anyway

The real problem is the misconception that all modern TVs suck, when the reality is the one your parents bought sucks, and it happens to be the one you have access to and based all your conclusions on that. Just like anything else theres the low end VIzios and Dynex's and then theres high end Samsungs and Sony. If you stick to that $100 black friday special Tv, its going to lag, its going to be blurrry. Its made for senior citizens to enjoy and not notice the errors. Good modern TVs exist, but like any fucking thing, you get what you pay for.

Zoomers hate anything from the 90s because they weren't alive during that time. Their parents might have had a crt in the living room when they were 3 but zoomers don't remember anything before 2012 so to them crts are evil. I mean seriously, do you see pewdiepie play minecraft on a crt? LMAO.
Especially the snes, wtf you on about. Half the snes library is side scrollers and CRTs have far less input lag for those on top of the superior visuals.

>Not enough to be harmful
it's worth noting that a full year sitting in front of a crt is about the same amount of radiation intake as eating roughly two bananas

exactly this.
people (zoomers) don't realize that TVs used to be 1k, then their mom bought em a cheap vizio and now they think CRTs were amazing like the other nostalgia fads, they probably listen to vinyls too and think 80s were the best time ever (even if born in 00's)

are they supposed to make a constant horrid high pitch squeal?

But staring at an LCD and its blue light emissions will cause all kinds of fucked up side effects.

is there a buyers guide?
or should i just buy any crt monitor on Craigslist?

only the low quality or old and broken TELEVISION crts do that
A quality computer monitor crt will emit almost nothing

Even lcd monitors buzz from the power supply part

In particular. However, I'd argue the best benefits are gotten with the PS2 and Gamecube which are rather heavy on the 480i content which only a CRT can display without deinterlacing artifacts. 240p can still be line-doubled rather well, but deinterlacing is always a hit in latency and image quality.

Buy whatever you can now for cheap before the prices skyrocket because of it being trendy.

Does general brand quality not matter? I have some CRT's but they're way too big to use as a monitor. I'm looking for something relatively small that can reach at least 1080p resolutions.

Most CRTS have this almost inaudible whine. My dad used to wake up to go to the restroom at night, then open my door and tell me to go to sleep. when i asked him how he knew i was awake, he told me he could hear that "TV being on noise"

>Modern Games Look Amazing On CRT Monitors... Yes, Better than LCD!
Flatly untrue for the higher spec end of 8th gen. No CRT ever commercially made supports higher than 1440p resolutions. Also, some consoles like Switch and PS3 don’t do 1080p analog natively and will require signal conversion to look their best.

Also, modern games have text scaled assuming a large screen. Good luck couch gaming with less than 40 inches diagonal of screen space.

>but hey at least it takes up less space on the trucks for shipping
This, it doesn't matter what the benefits of CRT's are, retailers don't like them as they can fit five lcd's in the same space of one CRT.

You know, the way many people have their tv set up, being a flat panel doesn't even offer much benefit in the way of space saving to many consumers.
You put it on a stand but that stand also usually holds all the other shit you put on it (game systems, stereo, etc) so it needs to have more than two inches of depth, and then the floor space used is no different than if you put a CRT on it.

I can smell that picture... smells like GameStop and musky carpet.

That guy sounds black and I don't listen to criminals

Sounds like bullshit desu, CRTs are pretty bad

I got a CRT HD years ago and I've been playing xbox 360 and pc on it for years. A guy got mad at me because the image was so much better than his shitty 30fps LCD screen. He even accused me of "buying a tv so you can mock me" when the reality was I wanted a HD tv but didn't have the money to buy expensive shit so instead of buying hype I did some research and waited for months until i found somebody selling his crt tv for $10 because it was too heavy.

dude is still mad after 12 years.

SNES cannot output with component, but the RGB SCART connection it can output (which can be converted to component) is a huge leap from composite cables.

coon no coonin

Doesn't look any better to me.

I live in a city. But its in Canada where nothing cool can be found or bought by anyone.

CRTs have had 10-bit color for decades, CRTs have always been brighter than LCDs due to the properties of igniting phosphor, and you don't need any dimming because CRTs do not dim or "turn off" pixels, they simply have 0 light. That's what true black is.

Very. 2048x1536 at 96Hz is nothing to laugh at.

Based. How much did it cost?

This. Dropping brightness on a CRT at night is true dimming. OLED does the same thing too.

100 if I moved it from the b-stock closet for the studio, several thousands cheaper than what they paid for it

They just look softer not better. Modern screens are just too sharp for their own good.

Google frostrose
You may have to disable windows defender

What was your first console?

When you think about it, since the late 2000's everyone has been investing in ways to counteract how shitty LCDs look, adding filters in games, shaders, post processing effects, all to compensate for things CRT never needed. CRT gets a little soft at its max resolution, but then this frees up room for anti-aliasing. All the sudden the edges cleanly separate without chunky pixel edges that require multi-sampling to compensate.

I had a friend tell me CRTs were basically free antialiasing. I later found out he literally set the focus knob slightly off to make it blurrier than it actually is.

Literally turn off the lights in front of the monitor and turn on lights somewhere behind the monitor or play in a darker room.

It really is one way to do it. When you think about it, it looks good at any resolution and you can just slightly soften the output and suddenly you're pulling a whole new set of tricks around all the edges of every asset in a 3D game. The cost on clarity? Measurable in the single digit percentages at the cost of overall image improvement.

Everyone with a brain knows that CRT is far superior to OLED/LCD.

CRTs are much more expensive to produce though and are fucking massive. Not to mention they're not in production any more. But the visual fidelity from increased resolutions and refresh rates has long surpassed what old CRTs are capable of. I'd love to see what a 144hz 4K CRT looks like, but that's never going to happen.

These CRTs are the expensive professional ones not the average 14-17" garbage that most people played on back then.

speaking of which

what websites or apps do you search for CRTs?

all I know is craigslist and OfferUp

Are you after a straight TV or a monitor? If the latter high-end HP, IBM, Dell, and Sun CRTs are just rebranded Sonys. Literally the same internals and often time even the case but with a different logo.

CL only has shitty Walmart CRTs. If you want the thicc pro monitors your best bet is private auctions and government surplus.

New CRTs of similar quality are still made, if you have a few grand for a 17" and some patience to go through a procurement process.

they would but that's not a good crt to begin with

my flashlight emits radiation too bro

Craigslist, OfferUp, LetGo, and Facebook selling groups. Also you can always put out a "looking for CRT" add on CList or elsewhere. If you live in a city of 10,000+ people there are bound to be at least a dozen people with old CRT monitors sitting in their basements collecting dust.

I wonder if any company will ever try to go back to CRTs with a gamer tilt to it, to try to get people to buy based on low input lag and quality of motion representation. I guess probably not, since the industry to build high-quality tubes probably isn't there anymore and setting something like that up would be too expensive to be worth the risk.

how young and technically incompetent are you

All development is shifting toward LED, and for a good reason. Thin, power-efficient, higher contrast than any other display technology, and zero lag on the level of CRT.

microLED displays will certainly be nice if they ever become a thing for consumers, but it looks like it's going to be a pretty long time to wait until they get small enough to actually fit modern monitor resolutions in the 20-30" sizes monitors come in. The DPI we'd need doesn't quite seem to be here just yet. Plus it's going to take ages until prices come down even if they reach appropriate DPI.

I kind of have more hope for dual-layer LCD in a realistic time frame. It would improve LCD contrast by orders of magnitude and theoretically solve one of its main drawbacks. Strobing should still remain possible, so we kind of have all the tech we need to get better monitors, if somebody would actually want to make them.

If you actually liked CRTs, you wouldn't submit yourself to meme 9" displays.

Old, certified by sweaty balls himself, and still dumb. That's kinda sad.

No it isn't. LED/LCD is 90% of screens now. OLED will go extinct like Plasma and MicroLED/DL-LCD will become the new thing. I really wish there was a company out there making new quality CRT's though. I had an old Viewsonic CRT that died on me but holy fuck everything looked amazing on it and the colors and contrast were on a completely different plane of existence and FPS felt and looked smoother than 165hz on LCD.

The real problem is that CRT monitors are getting so old at this point that finding one without screen issues and phosphor trailing is extremely hard. The best compromise is having a two desk setup with 144hz+ TN in front of you and a 40+ inch Samsung/Sony TV behind it on another desk elevated or on the wall. Then "WinKey + P" between both screens depending on what you're playing. That way you can still have smooth responsive m+kb online FPS but also have decent picture quality for everything else like non-competitive games, consoles, movies, internet browsing, etc.

In 10 years, you're going to look back and think "Jesus Christ that CRT trend was fucking retarded". There is no justification for giving up the amount of features and performance that come with modern TVs. If CRTs were really worth anything, they'd still be manufactured for home consumers. It's a fucking television, not a muscle car. You're just sucking the dick of a retarded trend started by elitest faggots with no identity so they're clinging to some obscure old tech to make themselves stand out. Absolutely pathetic. Go find an identity.

Are people surprised by this?
I thought it was common knowledge that CRTs don't have a ton of image processing bullshit that fucks up the image like LCDs do.

I can imagine people in 10-20 years bringing old LCDs back because of their build-in motion blur and big pixels.
screencap this

Sure, sure, or just get a fucking 85" Smart TV hung on your wall that makes your entire setup looks like a joke.

Listen to yourselves.

my "pro" crts still cost less than good lcds did when the transition began. you could be buying iiyama, lacie, or eizo displays for less than inferior lcds, and those were "yes we are going to be charging you a premium for mitsubishi tubes" brands.

yes i will definitely call a msce technically incompetent

did you complete high school before getting your certification 280p bro

You okay you old pussy? old TVs just work differently for games, no need to get so heated over it lol

I don't give a fuck about how my "setup" looks. I just want good image quality and 144hz monitors have shit image quality and are literally only good for online shooters which is only a small handful of games. Contrast and black uniformity are the most important factors for overall image quality and 99% of 144hz+ monitors are absolute garbage in that regard.

CRTs aren't manufactured anymore because they CAN'T reach modern specs. Cathode-ray tubes topped off at 100hz otherwise they caused motion sickness and nausea. Needless to say, modern resolutions are already 4x that of what a vacuum tube could push out. But enjoy your snapchat popularity, I guess?

Wrong.

>modern resolutions are already 4x that of what a vacuum tube could push out

CRT's can reach 2560x1600, don't pretend like you'd recommend anything over 1440p for PC gaming anyways. Also PPI > strict resolution, CRT's monitors are 17-24 inches and make any resolution look sharp anyways, so 4K would be overkill at such a small screen size.

What kind of CRT is best to get for gaming? I got a Magnavox TV for $3 and I feel like I made a mistake.

because they were beautiful newfriend
beautiful lead weights that kept you warm in the winter

you're going to feel like that with most your CRT grabs

turned on a crt for the first time in a decade recently and it felt like magic how good it looked

CRT TV's are totally different from monitors. Only get an SD CRT TV for PS2 era and below. As for monitors it depends on what resolution and refresh rate you want.

SD CRT TV's are only 480i. HD CRT TV's can do 1080i and sometimes 720p but they don't look as good or sharp as monitors and are limited to 60hz and only have one or two set resolutions.

I remember buying an lcd because ps3 looked like trash and it was hard to see things on crt but whatever

>how good it looked
yeah I wish could fuck mine

Because you had a CRT TV at 480i and most PS3 games were made with 720p/1080p in mind for scaling HUD elements and other things.

480i component will look better than 480p component on an lcd blown up to 1080p

your display was probably cheap

CRT is mandatory for /vr/

old CRTs on the verge of dying are dim as fuck and not worth anything

Had a Sony Trinitron for about 6 months. The novelty wore off after 2 weeks. Found myself using the normal TV more and more until I just stopped using the CRT all together. Sold it for $1200 to some other retard who fell for the meme.

I know I'm in the minority, but for PS1/PS2 literally any non-flat CRT TV with composite will be more than fine if the TV itself is up to par. Component of course is slightly better quality but not mandatory, and honestly just for PS1/PS2/GameCube/Wii composite on a smaller CRT TV is fine and you can put them almost anywhere.

>980ti
Best card. Anything newer would be a waste used on a CRT, not like you're gonna get 4K out of one.

RAMDAC all video signals were ALWAYS digital. they just used to include a RAMDAC ram digital to audio converter on the machine/card whatever, now their cheap assholes and took it off for you lcd tards and not lower the price
id like to see a company come out with external ramdacs so their is no lag and high quality. id buy one. if i could rip one off an old card and use it id like to know how and id do it.

There's nothing quite like powering on a PS1, powering on the CRT, hearing the click-TINK! of the degauss followed by the fuzzing up of the tube as it glows to life in sychronization with the vibrating synths of the PS1 boot up.

There's the HD Fury but most of those external ones are kinda disappointing. If you've got a 980ti just stick with it for a while. The good news is you can always lower your resolution and still enjoy it if in 4 years it starts to be too slow.

The problem with running modern games on CRTs is the text. I own a decent-sized CRT, like 24", and didn't actually get an LCD until 2018, and the few times I tried playing a modern game on it (Demon's Souls, BotW etc.) the text was nearly impossible to read due to blur. I love how CRTs look but games have to be designed for CRTs to work properly, and if a game is made with small text on the assumption that you're playing it at 1080p with pure pixels, you're going to have a bad time.

It really depends, if you look at the monitor they use in the video text is fine. I have an aperture grille the same size as yours and the UI text for my retropie is hard to read. Command prompt lines are impossible to make out

Maybe it's just a problem with my specific one, then. I'll have to upgrade to a new CRT, then. Goddamn I wish they still made CRTs

They're the vinyl of Yea Forums

It's not the specular reflections on the CRT that are causing the blacks to be worse, it's the diffuse reflected light. The CRT and LCD in that picture will be receiving roughly the same amount of diffuse light, but the CRT's blacks are lighter because the screen itself is a lighter colour than the screen of the LCD.

>4k (2160p)
This is completely correct but I hate that it needs to be mentioned just because of all the retards trying to brand 1440p as "4k"

I'm still hoping that CRTs go the way of vinyl and we start getting manufacturers for it again. New ones, not refurbishings from China. The startup costs would be huge though.

We could've had flatscreens with the motion clarity of CRTs, but patent lawsuits and the '08 recession killed SED tvs.

i think i heard that you cant use the leaded glass used in making the tubes anymore due to EPA regulations, which ironically were brought about because you can't really use it to make anything OTHER than new crt tubes.

Well there are articles that detail how to get the free W10 upgrade since those server are still around, so you can get an authentic W10 license again. Thing is you'd need to get Windows 7 first, which you presumably had originally.

Well damn, if my favorite eceleb says so then I guess it must be so.

I just hope this becomes so popular that chinks start making CRT monitors with triniton's expired patents
Or even better, they start making thinner CRTs with modern tech

I think is taken quite a while for modern vinyl players to get decent, compared to older ones. Cassettes have been back for a couple of years, but new cassette players are still completely fucked, cheap China crap.

I’m sure new CRT manufacturing will start up as retro games are becoming increasingly more mainstream, but be prepared for the first couple of years of cheap garbage.
