Modern PC Gaming on a CRT

- CRT's are fabulous, mighty creatures that remind us of a simpler time.
But can they offer the modern PC gamer benefits today?
Their fast refresh rates, and instant response times make twitchy FPS titles more enjoyable- and their blacks are to die for.
-- THE FLICKERING, is only generated by my silly camera and in real life, is not present at all.
To test, we are using a Sony Multiscan GDM-500PS Trinitron Monitor and a few of my favourite PC titles such as Chivalry Medieval Warfare, Left 4 Dead 2, Minecraft, GTA V and CS:GO

I feel like I'm watching a wildlife documentary
damn wasnt expecting to find you here
you are watching a wild life documentary the wild life documentary of the CRT lol can you imagine how games would look on it with Ray tracing?
Lol wtf are you doing here
Playing Runescape on a 15'' Sony Triniton and Pentium 4.......................
*good old times*
+Marco Martins Computer spontaneously combusts...
***** don't make me go get my rune scimitar
that's a warning :p
Marco Martins imao ;)
+Marco Martins i really doubt it's only 15 inches
Paulo Kunze it's true lol it looked like this www.i.baraholka.com.ru/files/1/1/1165633.jpg
it's 15'' but only about 14" of viewable area they were measured different from today, nowadays the size it's the real size of the screen (viewable area)
How the fuck did you make me want a CRT??
IKR XD
I want a CRT and still, they last ages
I know right!!!? I love this channel with a passion
yet they fked the eyes so hard after long hrs and not shrpness specially on letters...
If you really want a big, high-refresh CRT, look for the HP p1230. It has pretty much the same guts as the Sony presented above, but it can do much higher resolutions and refresh rates.(h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00355202)
I have one of these beasts and it can do 2048x1536 at 85Hz. Or if you find that resolution is too high, it can do 1600x1200 at 120 Hz!
The only downside (not mentioned in the video, BTW) is that it uses about as much power as a gaming PC. And after about an hour of staring into it you'll want to gouge your eyes out. But the insane refresh rate is totally worth it.
I didn't realize how much I missed the sound of a CRT turning on
Those were the days. I thought the same thing
"twoing...!"
haha those were indeed the days! Don't forget that lovely noise you'd hear signing into dial-up!
HaHa, the dial tone and right after, you got mail :)
I forgot that sound... now I miss it.
I love ghgtv , I fucking love it, Im glad that I found this channel
Where the hell is ur profile picture from? A fanmade thing or something?
+Okmo Baht what a beautiful combination. Match made in heaven.
+SegaDaniel I know the feeling. I stumbled upon this channel recently and have been digging through the archives. Very good work.
+SegaDaniel quote. can't live without it
+SegaDaniel This is literally all of us, I skipped school when I found his channel and watched all his videos throughout the whole day. This guy produces amazing content
This channel might be small, and it doesn't have the linustechtips overkill. But it makes up for it by giving the most entertaining nostalgic videos.
From Philippines with love.
Kumusta ka?

+Nasanieru Karaki I'm certainly not american.
+Neetoryu Kun
Linustechtips is nVidiapro and hates Linux, my big question is what the fuck is techy about him?
The fact that he has expensive computers that serve no other purposes than compensating for something in your pants?
**melee players cross their arms and nod**
amen, amen
I see we have some melee players ayyy
maylay bois
GlowBox Don't forget speedrunners.
But keep in mind that melee players typically play on consumer TVs that use 480i, not progressive scan like PC monitors use. If Melee players wanted to evolve further they could use component-to-VGA output from a Wii and hook it up to a CRT PC moinitor.
I have an old neighbor that has a CRT screen and a 200$ itx pc. he plays hunting games at like 15 fps and think it is "Smooth as butter".... he also thinks that paying over 200$ for a PC is dumb and that His pc is strong as hell..... I facepalm so hard sometimes i hurt myself...
If he's happy with the experience, who gives a shit?
tobsmonster2
yea he damn makes me laugh a lot..
Lol, so he's filling in the missing frames with his imagination?
Dude xD :^)
Lmao xD
I know quite a few graphic artists who still insist on using CRT monitors as the colours are more accurate than LCD/LED screens.
(Though I think they're about 98% accurate as of 2016 - enough that the human eye cant distinguish)
watching this on my CRT
TheBcoolGuy yeah I love that effect.
TheBcoolGuy why?
MrBluePoochyena well, I love retro technology. I don't even have nostalgia for it. I for some reason love things from the 90s and under.
The Jiro Network how do you connect the crt with the gpu? my gpu has dvi dual link, hdmi and 2mini display ports....i dont know ho to connect it with the crt...pls give me an advice
Michael Jhonny Well the CRT probably has a VGA cable on it so you can just buy a VGA to mini display, hdmi, or whatever. Just look up on amazon or eBay, HDMI to VGA adapter. or Mini display to VGA adapter. I am actually using a mini display to VGA adapter right now for my CRT.
Nice channel mate! Everyone keeps telling me to come check it out, I certainly wasn't disappointed. Subbed.
+Tech YES City YO, i didn't expect to see you here!

+MUSiCK what the fuck is up with all these seductive pokemon on UA-cam nowadays?
Cpt. Swag Cat as in that guy on youtube named John Pablo?..
Yeah..i'm not trying to be that guy..
my profile image isn't remotely seductive, its just really an angry Gardevoir
+MUSiCK i'm tired, and due to a recent past experience any Gardevoir I witness will be atleast 'remotely seductive'
that incident makes me shiver... And how they tried to justify there points.... ergh...
Cpt. Swag Cat oh boy..i can really understand where your coming from, honestly it annoys me for the type of images they end up using and as you said..they try to 'justify there points'
CRTs are great until you have to move.
They were great to throw at zombies.
hah lol i know your pain i had 4 of the damn things!!!!
XD god i love what people are saying about these things in this comments page!!!! lol you could literally kill a pro wrestler with one!!!!
Melee players understand
Best comment!
CRT technology is still superior to LCD and Plasma in a number of ways. The fact it can handle a multitude of resolutions without any form of upscaling needed, the complete lack of input latency and on top of that it has perfect motion resolution. Talk about perfect gaming tech.
The drawback is the size, weight, life span and price to manufacture which is why it was ditched for the cheaper LCD tech. Only now since around 2014 companies like Sony are catching up to CRT technology with super low latency panels coupled to BFI strobing technology offering some of the benefits of the mighty CRT.
+cloudskipa I agree with everything you said but life span? CRT's I've found have had far better life spans than any flatscreen, the ability to be repaired if a CRT fails is better than any flatscreen I've seen
Sony Trinitron Well from my own experience I've found CRT to have a poor lifespan overall, there's a lot of things that can degrade due to the magnetism (if you don't have a degause function) so picture quality and geometry also suffers over time. They can also be quite volatile and I've known a few poeple who have had their tube implode and catch fire to the house. I've really only owned mid to higher end LCD and I would say flourescent backlight is on par with a tube for lifespan but LED edge or backlit is far superior.
+cloudskipa don't forget colour uniformity/viewing angles! :D
sinephase Very true! and still a problem for many non-IPS LCD used today. One of the biggest issues is still backlight bleeding especially from LED edge lit LCD and a certain amount of clouding and imperfect light uniformity is considered "normal" even on high end sets. It's sad what's happened really, first CRT then Plasma.
*****
even IPS doesn't have the same uniformity and viewing angles like a CRT does
My roommates and I have a CRT for the living room of, it's the only monitor we have and it is beautiful, 19 inches and what feels like 50lbs of pure beauty
Whoops pc*
+Willis “Armitage” Corto yes lol, but since this comment we've acquired two more crts for the purpose of console gaming. Found them on the side of the road for free and since none of us care much about HD or watch tv, they work completely fine for us. The only downside was I had to carry both of them
+Willis “Armitage” Corto haha, no worries dude. That sounds rad as hell
+cofi 41 you just made my day sir
How dare you make me feel old lol
How dare you grow old!
will dares ever grow old?
It's an update from a mac
true
what do you have against macs?
maccollectorZ I know u are a very unbiased source considering ur name
When you turn it on its like a saab advert!
+WhyWePlayTruckSims what sound was he talking about?
+William “Billden55” Burgoon Also the CRT clicks when you turn it on
+WhyWePlayTruckSims remember that like it was yesterday
+Wyatt James Yeah, those lcd/led are just too clean and boring, no character
WhyWePlayTruckSims ok so i set up my old laptop and crt because i have a vga port on my old laptop. But the laptop is slow AF and won'd boot quickly to save its life.
My dad bought that same monitor back in 1999. At the time, it was the biggest computer monitor I had ever seen. :P
I actually still have one of these tucked away in a cuoboard, like trying to pick up Thor's hammer
LOL, I have a 36inch CRT TV in my bedroom that is so heavy I cant even move it. I think it will sit there for eternity.
I have a Sony Wega about 27 inches and its also sitting in the same spot those feel like 400 pounds for some reason
you clearly not worthy of wielding such power .
+mark rossi Yeah I've got one of those beasts, it's ridiculous. Awesome for old consoles though!
But if you put it on an elevator
You just made me go dig through my closet to hook up a CRT monitor to a GTX 1070 lol
lmao
Bubu Well the screen bulges out a little so the image looks a bit distorted compared to a flat screen. I also have to admit my eyes hurt after staring at it for a long time, it feels like it flickers light into my eyes. The good thing though is i was able to run my games at 85 hertz instead of 60, which looked kinda smoother but just isnt worth it imo. If hertz and response time is what's important to you then just get a 144 Hz G-Sync monitor.
TheBcoolGuy There are adapters for DVI-D and DVI-I which converts them to VGA
TheBcoolGuy You can get one on Amazon for less than $15 lol
TheBcoolGuy Well they worked with me, doofus.
Just let the VTEC kick in already!
+MaxiviczGames my thoughts exactly
+MaxiviczGames his civic is one without a vtec motor
+Okmo Baht VTEC and rice are mutually exclusive, just some idiots add rice to vtec and it all goes downhill
Reid Evers I like my rice in a bowl, not in my car.
+Michael Galbraith exactly
We can sit here and laugh at CRTs and VGA but we must remember that the image that we see on our modern equipment is all analog. CRTs are analog and their VGA interface is the highest quality RGB analog video source in existence. We must respect the purity of this old technology and where it has brought us to this day. Right now I'm typing this on a PC with only a 1080P G-Sync display that can't touch the resolution or black-levels of this decades old Sony Trinitron. Sad...
but hdmi is digital
I got a CRT to play some games on it and even CSGO works finr in 160hz at 1024*768
@@ManOfAttitudeLP1998 i might be a liiittle bit late but do you mind telling me which monitor you were speaking about?
@@scruffex3736 It was a HP P1130
Damn... Even the CRT is better than Mac Monitors
EDIT: Holy crap 303 likes....
What are you talking about, the display and the os are the only good thing of a mac
you don't even get a full apple you get a bit one
You can get 32" 4k monitor for PC that should be better than any of the mac displays.
Macs use lg panels which you can find for PC, not only that, Eizo for instance has professional monitors that are a lot better for color depth and calibrated accuracy.
Thad A. lol it was a joke, but thanks.. didn't know that....
loooooooooooool u just made everyone 20 years or older want a CRT
As someone who grew up at the time CRT's and VCR's turned into fat screens and DVDs, I still want one.
no.
*heavy melee breathing*
I'm 18 and wanted one before I watched this video. The response time...
I have one but I don't have the drive to set it up lol. I do want to see if I am better on CS:GO though lol.
People think the old farts are just being negative about the technology of today, but CRT's were truely superior, in nearly every way, except how easy it is on the eyes. For office workers, LCD's were a blessing, no more 60hz flicker headaches. Of course, CRT's addressed that issue with a higher refresh rate, and THIS is the exact reasoning behind the refresh rate craze, and why more was always better. Most good CRT's were 85-120hz, since a lot of people had problems with 60hz flicker. Response time on CRT's is decided by the length of the monitor cable, and is basically 0. The colors depend heavily on the monitor, but CRT's have a natural problem with their brightness fading over time. So most CRT's you find today suffer from tube age, and are not very bright, causing dark scenes to be a problem. Dimming brightness is solely an issue with the ceasing of manufacturing of CRT monitors tho, since when they begin dimming, it was normally time to replace them.
+Richard Smith Exactly the issue with mine. I need to amplify the RGB signals one way or another to get a proper gamma (and brightness) off of my LG T710PU. I'm very sad about it and there's unfortunately nothing much I can do about it... Maybe replace the flyback but that wouldn't help against aging of the tube itself, and most of CRT production has ceased around 2011. I know Sony still makes some CRTs, but those are for hospitals and they're more like PVMs rather than computer monitors.
xan1242 CRTs fade because of the phosphors on the screen burning out. Knowing the reason doesn't really instill much hope in fixing it.
Richard Smith Yea I know. I'm not sure about oscilloscopes, are they still being made with CRTs as well or are they now made with LCDs? (not counting ones you plug in your computer etc.)
xan1242 Modern oscilloscopes are LCD as well.
***** The issue with phosphers was not an issue in the absorption to emission time, but the decay time of the emission. This could cause ghosting and color bleeding.
It was the off time which had a potential for delay, not the on time.
I pointed out the cable length was the bottleneck in jest, to point out that response time was not even a consideration. That was meant as a joke. It was a non-issue.
The issue comes in due to digital decoding, which although does allow for precise pixel perfect pictures, it introduces inherit latency since those signals must be processed.
Some game out there actually utilize the CRT monitor as a identity. Like Silent Hill 2 that looks much more better in CRT, and cannot be replicated on LCD monitor
True dat
These days when people make indie games with retro aesthetics they are really so far from truth. what might look like pixel art on modern monitors looks fabulous on old crt s as they were made to utilize the blurring between pixels to create shades.
Not if you run an emulator.
Postal 2 with the correct resolution looks astonishing on the CRT it was built on compared to modern LED or LCD screens.
Older PC games look better on CRT. Games like Icewind Dale, Planscape Torment, Quake...
Real men use monochrome CRT monitors!
this bring back alot of my first days of gaming on PC way back in the early 90's all the way up to the mid 2'000's
I wish my old CRT didn't die. Loved that thing.
+EMPiiRE™ There are plenty more you can get second hand for free!
+Sony Trinitron For example, I loved my own one very much and now I don't really think there still are such to find. Spent my whole childhood in front of my 17'' NEC Multisync... Good old times
+Sony Trinitron Haha hey i see you all over on CRT related videos!
Shark Record Films Yep, CRT's are my passion, so much of my passion that I've got several CRT's in a collection and getting more (older CRT's only or anything interesting)
Sony Trinitron I have a passion for them too, as well as a small collection that I try to make videos about but never get the time.
that's the problem with modern gaming, there's too much input lag
Sounds like a classic case of

This is probably the most concise and accurate review of playing on a C.R.T., vs a modern display, that I have seen. Great job!

+Milan Daci I knew I recognized it from somewhere! Haha!

I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic during the pros. Even so, I still want one. I use a CRT TV to play my Xbox360 and it's simply fabulous when playing shooters.
CRT have almost instant response time so I don't think he's joking and the colors are actually more accurate in a CRT since they are analog
CRTs actually have a ridiculously low response time compared to LCDs. LCDs typically have a few milliseconds of delay, whereas CRTs have around one nanosecond. CRTs also typically have a higher refresh rate than LCDs.
After watching his content for years, he is not being sarcastic. He enjoys the older tech and that's his tone.
we absolutely love your videos man , your videos are unique and you're awesome
I just wanted to say how much I love the production value of these videos. Amazing!
I met artists who still use CRT because of the color reproduction is more faithful to what they'll get when printing something.
ips..
While this is true it takes the right calibration and a little upkeep to keep it that way.
TN displays are often targeted towards gamers because of their faster response time compared to IPS. It's easier to produce a 120hz TN panel than a 120hz IPS panel.

TRUE ROMANCE!!! love your use of music, also the kingdom hearts music you use. It's like we're the same person
I have never owned an LCD, I'm still using a 19" CRT and it's great. Just make sure the colors are calibrated and the geometry is all worked out for each resolution. I'll upgrade when I can get reasonable priced ($300) 27-30" 1440p high refresh OLED.
1400x1050@85hz is a good resolution for 19". Sometimes I run 1600x1200@75hz or lower resolutions at 100 or 140hz.
That CRT computer set up is my dream computer! Awesome video! This channel is great!
this channel is pretty spectacular tbh
it's really soothing to watch
I'm actually currently using a Sony Trinitron 520GS as my main (out of four) monitor! I watched this video on it! Heh, it can do 1600 x 1200 at 75Hz, so it's very nice for games. And since my other three monitors are old dell flatpanels with ghosting and bad response time, this Trinitron is perfect for gaming on the cheap. (Did I mention it was free?)
Why do I hear your voice so low?
+GameCheetah it's not low, it's smoooooooth
+GameCheetah VTEC destroyed the mic
+Ivan x97 Hello my fellow petrolhead
+GameCheetah He's gone into ASMR mode.
+GameCheetah I much prefer this style as it reminds me of how TV and video used to be pre-2000, before the current modern videos where people shout and bawl in a constant stream of words, fired into your ears like a machine gun while cheap vulgar moronic music is pounded at your senses? The mute button is the most used button on any remote control I use, and that can become tiresome. So I now use a good compressor / limiter to tame the overly aggressive audio on most broadcasts.
that sound of crt turning on made me cry a little bit , its amazing what nostalgia dose to you .
Him saying is "2016" made me realize it's been a while since I've remembered what's it like to be a kid. Damn I was starting my senior year of high school at the time. This video brought me back to a time of no worries for sure.

+gabrocki ok then ...
Yeah, the music was loud but his voice was super quiet.
dont use headphones then ? how hard could it be :)
My CRT lit on fire one day after about 10 years of use.
talk about overusing it , damn son
i still have a CRT from the 90's
LMAO i had the same thing happen to mine. Smoke just came out from top.
i had a little sony tv which did that when i was a kid no idea how old it was but screen flickered then when off and start hissing moments later it burst into flames! was very scary for me.
dude! i love your home made feel. Your videos are super entertaining. You got yourself a subscriber.
Great production quality mate, subscribing
WTF i am still using a CRT and am banging it every minute so it would stop flickereing :D
dont do that, let it get fixed or the next things to be fixed will be your eyes, dont become like me^^
Get new monitor and throw the old one away. It hurts your eyes and you dont even know how much.
maybe you are right. my eyes have been a little sore lately.
Just put a neodyme magnet on it. It will fix everything
Yeah rite 😂😂. Recently i bought a vr headset and it came with a magnet. So i was playing with it and when it came near the crt it made wierd patterns. So being an idiot i waved it all aroung and i had blue green patches ALL OVER the screen.
Love your channel! Keep up the good work!! I'm inspired
your channel is just..congrats for being the master of your mind!!
I cannot ever think of the Hans Zimmee song without thinking of beautiful CRTs anymore
CRTs aren't bad at all. Most websites don't use the extra horizontal space of 16:9, the lower resolution means you can play games at max with low-end GPUs and scaled content doesn't look as ugly as it looks on a modern monitor.
Alright, someone needs to make sure I recover from the seizure watching this vid.
Which seizure?
Epilepsia
Ikr!? Quick tip for uploader: to counter this effect, you should slightly alter the frame rate of your recording device so it doesn't match the hZ of the monitor.
LucasAndAGuitar You know incest is illegal right? Nvm, you people love that shit. Yeee Hawww!!!
love the videos, keep up the great work :)
Gotta give kudos on the opening to this video so well done I just LOVE IT. keep up the good work
I have to say, I wish you'd pointed out at some point that the flicker seen in the video is not apparent to the naked eye.
reminds me of the times when the monitor was the heaviest and chunkiest part of the whole desktop setup... those were the days... the really really shitty days
old is gold
No way DOS was amazing and id still use it today if i could. C64 and Tape loading was Shitty agreed lol.
shitty days = monitors that last pretty much for ever...
yeah those where the good days...
haha
Great video man. Enjoyed it a lot. Good music choices.
this feels like a vid from the 90s so its still retro. love how it looks.
Many memories
I've totally been thinking about dragging the old one out fromt he garage for a long time and thenthis video comes out! I'm serious, GHG, your mind is just like mine or you can read it across the world.
Anyways I think CRTs are awesome because they look sharp at almost any resolution
You make great videos man!
love your videos dude!
I want a crt for the old stuff, I can live with using an LCD for Fallout 4 and GTA 5 but I want a CRT for old games, games from back in the day before LCD's, CRT's can do lower resolutions without the huge blur that LCD's do
Then just get one. I youd send out my 19" from my basement, buut is so heavy I'm not even interested in moving it up here.
So the 17" has to do it :D
HappyBeezerStudios Problem is that where I live in Canada its pretty hard to find a tube screen at all, all I see on local classifieds like Kijiji are expensive as f*** monitors, and while I would love to have a 24 inch professional grade CRT for gaming, 2000 dollars is kinda bit too much for me even if I had a job.
Good old Sony GDM-FW900.
Sadly I never had one.
But there is one for a grand on ebay currently.
HappyBeezerStudios Yeah, I don't have that kinda money laying around. I guess I'll have to stick with my 21 inch ASUS for a little while longer.
I havent found a single 144 Hz 1440p IPS panels with 0.05 ns response time.
Seeing this video in 2022. Now CRT are not cheap anymore...
Casi me hace llorar, me hiciste sentir viejo y buscar donde tengo mi viejo compu, gracias por subir este video.
I keep rewatching this video just to relive the sensation
CRT is not dead! ✌
never realized how much I underestimated these.
Reid Woodman Exactly. Being a good quality CRT especially in dynamic contrast, worth a lot and get superior performance to many LCD screens on the market today.
Although I am still a kid, I remember these monitors like yesterday
Me too. I used to go to lollypops play land (that place was the shit for 5 year olds in Australia) just to play ps2 on these screens
Livcus -
There was a internet cafe in Romania where I used to live and I used to play CS 1.6, which was good shit with friends, and it still is :D
I am in Romania too.
+Livcus - Oh man, I remember that place! The first time I ever played a game was there.
My dad owned an Internet Cafe! Just not in Romania, but he owned it back in the early 2000s, He had 12 computers there and each one had a CRT screen.
your camera work and editing are fantastic
this video has a really nice light feel to it, I like it
im using a crt right now. it has 85hz refresh rate and thats sooooo smooth! i dont like using 60hz monitors now. just played a few hours of simcity (2013) on it at 1024x768 and another bonus is at that resolution it extends the life of the graphics card. but its only a 17" and its not widescreen so its good and bad. maybe crt's will make a comeback in the pc gaming market, i hope so. they might, lots of money to be made on the nostalgic gamers out there
Now if only they made 16:9 CRTs... That’d be so cool as a lot of games are built for 16:9 these days...
Just Another UA-cam Channel there is the holy grail sony gdm fw900. If you can find it, of course :) not 16:9 but 16:10
thanks green Ham now I want that monitor

Did I see BNC RGB connectors on the back? I still have my first 17" CRT. ViewSonic with the BNC connectors. Though I never could find a cable for it when I wanted it, I understand it is supposed to make the picture that much better.
It is component YPbPr
You sure? I didn't check, but I think that might be RGBHV.
Just checked mine. It is RGB-HV for BNC.
I have an old high-end 17" IDEK Iiyama MF-5317 from 1992 (with max res of 1280x1024 in 1992? :D) and it has BNC RGB connectors and BNC-VGA cable. I haven't tested that monitor so I don't know if it works or not.

also they consume lot power.
Compared to what exactly?
an LED or LCD monitor obviously, the fuck?
right ;)
R. Frost True.
Not really. Under 40 watts for a 17" CRT Sony monitor I have. Under 80 watts for a 30" 16:9 HD CRT Toshiba. Both measured with a kill-a-watt power meter. Your PC likely uses more than both.
Geez, your channal has come a long way....can't wait to see the day where your in the big lead like LinusTechTips or JayzTwoCent, it would be the start of a new era of a hipsters saying 'I knew GHG before it was cool' ahaha
yes LOL that would be perfect, I'd be telling my little brother that
When the video started, I thought it was a car ad and I began freaking out because I couldn't skip it or even be notified to wait for it to finish.
You are super chilled out all the time :)
Is your favourite movie True Romance by any chance?
that's were the song is from! It sounded so familiar
yeah, you're so cool by Hans Zimmer, one of my favourites
One of my favorites too
Is it me or nobody else noted that his mouse pad is a paper towel
Prolly more like a piece of paper.
Damn, what a great choice of music for this video! I love True Romance and it's score!
50,000 Subs Congrats mate. Here's to 50,000 more :)
I have an Emachines CRT lying around, Max res is 1280x1024 and its response and color feels more lifelike then my current monitor....I should hook it up sometime and use it...

How many hdmi ports does it have?
LOL
Mine has 2 DVI ports, 1 BNC and 1 VGA... so 2.
i got mine hooked up to a converter, i love my old crt for its unique picture
Jakthehero33 Yeah but crt's always give me headaches when I watch something on them. I think it is because of the flickering.
No Name That's actually why they're so good at motion though. An image pulses brightly for brief period of time and then the phosphors dim until the next refresh.
This produces wonderfully natural motion, because the older an image is, the dimmer it is. Objects moving across the screen don't appear to be moving in stop-motion like they do on LCDs at refresh rates < 240 Hz ;)
The production quality...
Holy shit.
Great job.
I love the songs you use lol they remind me of a simpler time and sims theme park
