- Why would anyone want to do this? I don't know, just because you can I suppose! That's what makes it fun :)

Get 2 of them in color and splice them together and make a CRT Oculus Rift.
Genius.
+animedudevid This guy is going places!
TheFlacker99 (Flak) I was actually looking online on a where to buy just these units. Sadly this has come to nothing or I would be working on this project.
***** agreed but the normal Oculus Rapes your eyes anyways.
+animedudevid lmao think of the Radiation, (Worth it)
You're the reason there's still a radioshack near you, you are probably 78% of that stores income.
Joe Zylstra radio shack is awsome
gregistopal
Hell yeah it is
Joe Zylstra lol yea my RadioShack lives off me going just cuz it's been there for so long. 20$ aux cables (not that nice)
mine shut down 7-8 months ago
Joseph Borne if true that’s sad, because that RadioShack is fearing the day he stops coming
0:49 "Why? What’s the point!? Well there is no point and that's the point!"
Lysander789 when i play games all night 0:47
so there is a ****ing point
@@user-xe6ww4rp9w No shit Sherlock
the main point is to have FUN it is a game so what
"Science it's not about why, it's about why not!"
what's this ? a theater for ants ?
lol
HAHAHA
im making this now XD
a theater for ants?
I laugh hard with ur comment.
Reminds me of when I played gamecube games on the tiny black and white tv my mom brought home from prison. Good times
+BrendanielReads Ayy
+BrendanielReads oh hey, it's bnrenda
Prison? Please explain I'm so confused lol
Same
owgames You can bring stuff home from prison if you bought it from the commissary/canteen.
Man, I've met a LOT of people on rocket league apparently doing this.
Keiya Bachhuber why
It's a joke about people being bad at rocket league.
Keiya Bachhuber when did rocket league become common enough to make jokes about on a video that isn't about rocket league
TheMangled Triangle he plays it in the video
TheMangled Triangle are you kidding rocket league is one of the biggest games in esports
You need three of theses for triple monitor crt setup. That would be awesome.
A whole one and a half inches across! Woo!
HAHAHA
get 2 of these
Set them up
duct tape them together
duct tape it to your head
BAM Virtual reality under $40
Watch Doge
hmm that idea seems familiar to me....
+Watch Doge lol
"Well there is no point, and that's the point" I wish I could go back and change this to my senior quote
@Lord Manhammer pointy.
fucking subbed you legend
Thanks!
+Ben ME NEITHER
+kballwoof00 why is everyone stealing my avatar LOL
+neoflynn that's not your avatar. it's the normal mega man sprite from the game "mega man". it's not YOURS.
+Andre S. everyone can use it as an avatar
So with 2 of these you can make retro vr goggles?
TripleDz probly
Yeah they actually come with a free VR game called Intraocular melanoma simulator if you play it for long enough
X E N N I M that game wouldn't be vr...it'd be Ar. ..
yes. fuck logic
yes yes i support this
Surprised it's actually 640×480 at that size. Would expect half resolution.
Mr Videos & Games Highest PPI ever
just because the game is rendered in 640x480 doesn't mean the screen shows it at that resolution. you can play in downscaled 4k on a 1080p monitor too.
@megapro125
True, but 1080p monitors don't accept 4K input.
Kinda hard to tell from the video, but it did look like 480p to me. Your thoughts?
Mr Videos & Games I'd say it's quite a bit below that maybe 120p to 240p at best. I think he said 480p when talking about the max resolution the converter adapter accepts not the screen resolution. In comparison my old TV which was a crt too and had a resolution of something 500p ish and it was about 30" big. the pixel density can't be that superior on tech that's just as old.
@megapro125
Analogue signals will usually be 480 lines at 60Hz or 576 lines at 50Hz.
He mentions there is overscan, so if it wasn't skipping lines, I guess its effective resolution would be a little less than this. Around 5:00, his camera actually focusses and there is a fair amount of detail. Definitely not quarter resolution.
I'm actually quite impressed at the pixel density of those things.
+Nathanael Ries Its not really pixels on a CRT though, you are looking more at "lines" of resolution on these things, they don't work quite the same way in that regard as LCDs.
Matt P I guess that's what I meant. The scan-lines you are referring to seem unnoticeable to me. And if this little thing still has 480 scan-lines, the compactness and accuracy of this thing's electron gun is impressive.
CRT is actually pretty impressive technology. Not the most practical for the sort of standards people want today, but still interesting for sure.
but can you play duck hunt? lol
Man, I should've tried that. In theory it might work!
Derpy Pedro it wouldnt worl because it would need colour and pixels to pick up what its actually "shooting" on screen and that things too tiny
work**
ChwkSkateIsDed are you sure it needs color?
almost 99% sure it ran off of the colour of the ducks it saw when you pulled the trigger and also the pixels
4:09 i cant believe i was just looking at a screen through a screen through a screen through a screen
Now I'm looking at a screen reading about you looking at a screen through a screen through a screen through a screen.
And now I'm looking at a screen reading about YOU looking at a screen reading about someone who was looking at a screen through a screen through a screen through a screen.
@@undefishin And now I watch my head explode.
screenception
6000fps?
xD
Seria genial poder ver los fps :,v
Nope... just 60
My eyes are melting
Curtz that would be slow as fuck
the duke nukem voice is amazing
Add another 1/2" CRT tv. Strap them to your face! Ultimate VR experience!
+Szabolcs Hideg Well, you could argue that this will keep the sun out of your eyes, and hence is good for you!
Plus, strap on an IR camera and you have hacked yourself night vision!
+Szabolcs Hideg CRT's don't really emit anything dangerous. Old wives tale. The weight and crappy resolution would be an issue tho.
Hey everyone! LGR has a 1 inch..... tv screen. :P
Half inch to be exact
... but but if you measure it when it's erect on the cables....
(you are right though :O)
+Rodney Hamilton So you are saying that even a CRT can be a grower and not a shower? There is hope for you yet! ;)
Growers > Showers! Chhoooo chooooo!
Rodney Hamilton
Yay to hope for us!
Umm... I mean you...
This is what I love about you. The simple joy you get out of things that the vast majority of people would consider pointless old crap, and how you can bring them to life and instil that same joy in people like me, who wouldn't normally look twice at them.
I've learned so much from this channel in the short time I've been following it. More than anything else I've found a new appreciation for old tech and software that's made life a little more interesting.
Thanks for that :)
I'm glad you appreciate it :)
+Abbey Hewitt you should watch his Microshaft Windsoft 98 or whatever video :D
lol seen it
I would love to make some CS:GO gameplays on that thing
Better not play comp lol. You'll get your ass booted so quick, and frankly when the games take about a half hour at their shortest I wouldn't blame them. Nothing sucks more than having a player that is 100% dead weight, but at least you then you have a something to blame for your loss, and saltiness.
Please play competitive, fuck those who get upset, the extra challenge will only benefit them.
csgo player be like:
*squatting* vodka communism hahahaha I'm missing out on one hundredth of a second because hahahaha input lag XD
That'd make one hell of a monocle.
Resistance is futile.
I am reminded of Rolf's tv from Ed Edd n Eddy.
Rolf's TV was awesome :D
:D
"Even from over here, the production values look remarkably cheap."
& i thought i was the only one
This video was in my recommended stuff. Finally yt sent me something really good. +1 Subscribed!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!
same here, subbed within 1 minute
2:04, damn you got a good taste in music.
He does
Man, that is some intense PPI on that screen, Apple is jealous.
+Delightful Hardware Glaucoma Display™
1600 PPI
Put two of these together and you've got a pair of gaming "glasses" :P
Like certain old-school VR headsets did!
+Lazy Game Reviews It's not like THAT is going to produce eye strain AT ALL.. Nope... :P
+Lazy Game Reviews You should do a Oddware or something on that!
+Lazy Game Reviews That would add some interesting extra tech step's though, with the running it though the PC and converting it to a different scale / setting it up as if it was a duel monitor set-up.
+Lazy Game Reviews As impracticable as this was i was glued to the screen's.
Interesting. I didn't realize those were actually crt screens in there. Seeing as that is from a camcorder, why was the magnification eye piece removed? That would have been fairly easy to see through and wouldn't have had the same delay as running it through your dslr.
It was removed to make this look more like a mini CRT as opposed to a retrofitted viewfinder :)
Please make retro VR goggles!
Not Noah All you'd have to do is put two of these into a pair of glasses, and add magnifiers. That actually sounds pretty cool, if pointless.
With the magnification, it almost looks like you are watching a small television. I have one of these video 8 handycams.
Your Duke Nukem impression is actually pretty good.
Put a strap on it and you've got something that's still better than the R-Zone!!!
+tman008
put two and you have a better version of the virtual boy
Omega Rugal Wait! We can save money on straps if we just made a giant one that was like 12" and people would just put them on their tables! Someone needs to make one of those!!!. XD
The idea of duck hunt on this.
+PunkNDisorderlyGamer I don't know if the idea would play as well as the actual game... but ok! ;)
This is the type of shit I love.
mathieu traas Indeed :D
But I love you more Manny. ❤️
+Abbey McNeill
Hey, Cally, how you doin'?
Stephen Mystery Great, how about you Stephen? How was the number 9?
put that in a virtual boy and bam
Ken Chen or in a real life boy
Bam! You're blind!
Pretty bad ass, if you could get 2 and split the signal to both you'd have the most retro VR setup ever.
1992 called, they want their idea back:
i.imgur.com/fzjkPoU.jpg
You should play Arma on this, Fox News will snoop it up in no time and post it as exclusive isis sniper footage
genius.
LMFAO
or ABC News beats them to it LMFAO
Kinda like how ABC scooped up footage of a Kentucky gun range and claimed it was Syria?
LGR, I really admire the lengths you go through not only to experience and review this stuff but also that you manage to find it in the first place!
I just wanna say, I love the slightly new direction your Channel is going in with not just game reviews but more and more random related tech stuff and computer/game history! You're the best! Just your voice makes me happy ahaha! I wait for all your vids!
I loved this. I adore crazy PC contraptions. I once tried to see if I could get a really fast laser printer to print out a game frame by frame. It almost worked. XD Game of choice was Warcraft 2.
Doing it for fun is reason enough, awesome to see those little crt's still working!
I was on the edge... but now it’s official... I love you! The obscurity of this video is awesome. Just discovered your channel and I literally can’t get enough!
I love this stuff! There is something so cosy about watching or playing things on tiny little screens like this!
You've got an impressive Duke Nukem voice.
Thanks!
Holy crap it was perfect!
Wooouuu its great!! we could put two mini TV on Google Cardboard, we can obtain RETRO VR CRT. Its funny!!
+Hanagomi kusohana only problem is it will weigh 30 pounds!
lol great "hulk"! but early VR was very heavy not problem
afflictor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/16VIRTUAL9-jumbo-v3.jpg
+Hanagomi kusohana they had aromas, better than Oculus confirmed.
This is probably the most insane assembly I've ever seen regarding technological equipment and I love it. Keep it up, LGR.
It's official. That view finder CRT is the coolest thing I've ever seen! I know you can't really see anything very good on such a screen that small, but man, that's too COOL! Awesome video. You earned a sub dude!
>buys rocketleague
>teammate plays on CRT TV
>unistall game
>mfw i never tasted the whole game experience because of this guy
I thank youtube for its algorithm for bringing me to your awesome channel. I do love myself some oddware.
Glad you found me as well, and I hope you continue to enjoy :)
I gotta say, I love your videos man. I grew up in the 80's and damn I thought I've seen and done it all. However you are doing some stuff I've never thought of. Subbed and entertained!
Man, i would have a blast visiting you and seeing all the weird odds and ends you have yet to show.
Dat pixel density doe!
IKR
These analog monitors have no pixels c:
the dslr macro was brilliant! nicely done!
Thanks!
Great video! Neat project...I certainly would not have took the time to do something like this myself, and so I commend you and Mr. Sparks for presenting this interesting expose!
Yay now my hamster can watch tv lol
Oddware = greatest series on UA-cam
Looks fantastic! 4k is overrated.
Oh man, this is so rad. It reminds me of the crazy small screens we could get for car rides that were, what... 7 inches? Playin' anything on those was just as fun and difficult as the games. Using something like this would be a blast.
Thats amazing! Stuff like this makes me feel tingly and happy~
I wonder if you could take two of these, mount them to a cheap pair of lens frames, and, get yourself a truly hackerly pair of VR goggles circa 1996?
Or circa 1992 :)
i.imgur.com/fzjkPoU.jpg
Fallout 4 looks really cool on this!
Probably isn't so cool without the zoom.
You are hilarious & it's interesting to see the stuff you find in regards to 'old tech'. You also gave me an idea for an 18in doll craft with that small screen.
This has to be one of the single most awesome things I have ever seen!
You should make a VR monocle out of it :)
Wait, what am I doing watching this in fullscreen? This must be viewed in the smallest window possible!
This thing make every game looks better, no doubt!
***** That gave me an idea, glue two of these together and make a pair of goggles out of them, VR be damned.
+Brendalf Well I guess it would be possible to stick an accelerometer on top of it.
I really want to see someone do this now.
Daniel M That'll be Virtual Boy 2.0 :D
but b/w screen is a bummer! :(
***** sure ^o^
Tetra Digm dunno everyone jumped on htc vive VR...i rem dat of older HTC models had real-time palallax thingy like 3DS back in 2010...
I just found this channel and I really it!!! I love tech and gaming channels and this is the best so far!
Holy crap - I remember stumbling across this video back in the day, and I regret not subscribing so much now. Just found you again recently, and I've been absolutely enamored with your content. I could hardly believe it when I saw this pop up after watching another video, thinking to myself "I think I've seen this before.." Ends up I was a fan before I even knew it.
thumbs up for Fallout 4 on the CRT. Just feels right.
This channel is so extra, I love it. 10/10 Subbd! Keep the weirdness coming
Thank you, will do my best!
Lazy Game Reviews same i love this channel
You going through all the various games and things reminds me of all the stuff I tested out when I found a 14" Toshiba CRT that also had component in. Genesis on composite, PS2 on component, various other stuff on S-video, the crispness and clarity were great (always had a 27" CRT but the picture on that wasn't high quality and S-video was the best input type).
I love stuff like this, I think this's amazing. Thanks for all the awesome videos, you awesome person.
His Duke Nukem impersonation is surprisingly on point.
that duke impression was sick......
yeah, i enjoy this because i can see you do it instead of trying it out myself. you know, its like my curiosity sensation been satisfied since i know its possible to do stuff like this.
Just when I Thought your voice couldn't get any more awesome, you started imitating the Duke. Thank you for this.
damn that was accurate imitation of Duke Nukem :D 10/10
I wonder how many untold hours LGR practiced his Duke Nukem voice.
It's a damn good one
+downphoenix Most of his childhood, I'd wager
this is amazing.
I remember these viewfinders back in the day.
This is by far the best video in the history of youtube. Why not play a game via a 1/2" CRT 480P to DSLR? Epic!
I swear to god, UA-cam reads fucking minds. I was just looking at this on my old Crt. Literally last night.
That's so fucking stupid.
I LOVE IT
Okey i think this is the most wierd thing i have ever seen you oddware haha. Even that mindcontroll game thingy was not this wierd. But hey i love it and thumbs up! Been away from you channel now a year because i have had alot of troubles in my life and not really been focusing on youtube or anything.
Keep up the work bro!
It looks sooo smooth. I don't have any Idea what this is all about and what kind of technology is put into this, but looks quiet decent for such a old thing. Hooray!!
Haha, this was awesome.
Take two of these and make them into a pair of glasses. Viola! World's crappiest VR set.
I did the same thing when I broke my family's old camcorder.. I used the view finder as a mini (rather super mini) monitor. I'm not sure but I think it was at least a decade and a half ago, if not more. I never thought anyone else would bother to do the same, lol. That's awesome that you did.. I love all of your videos, espeshially LGR eats. We all eat. Suggestions on better eats are always welcome!
bahaha love the goofy stuff you show us man. Quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Just wondering, did you try any light-gun games on it?
Keep up the creativity!
some quality cassettes at 02:01
kings quest...my dad worked for jpl/nasa(even with a computer science degree started him as a janitor) in the 80s 90s and i remember sierra all quest games.you brought back memories i had computers before internet and programmed in basic fortran..subbed..thanks for that little clip of KQ
you absolute madman
realtalk though, turning one of these, perhaps two, into a headset.
Now that would be something
I would totally play some 2600 or NES on that thing!
golly shit the fallout in black and white is really retro! And the background is so retro and bokehlicious.
I remember when I was young my dad had a VHS camera and I always thought the view finder was awesome. I remember it being a clear picture but being small as hell! Thanks for this video had fun watching it!
This satisfies my urges to hook up adaptors and converters just for the hell of it. Thank You!
I bet if apple released one as an External i-Device and Mac Micro Monitor it would sell like hot cakes,...
"Wow the innovation and practicality" people would say :)
The New IMonitor. Watch your movies in stunning resolution. Only $1000
"WE DO WHAT WE WANT BECAUSE WE CAN"
Second time this has randomly been I my recommended. Really enjoy it though so you earned a sub!
This video may have been ridiculous to many people, but surely was important to me since that is something I would do myself if I knew how :P Keep tinkering with stuff! I love it
now I can get my frame perfect waveshines
you can play virtual reallity with that :P
that would be so awesome, just glue two of them on diving goggles
but if you fall that will do into you freaking eye socket
R/ThingsForAnts
One of the best Duke impressions i've heard :D
I love this just for the sheer mad scientist aspect of it. Trust me, I like doing weird crap like this just because I can, too! I went ahead and watched Animusic on an old Sharp CRT TV one time just because I could, especially since I am used to it on an HDTV.
