WHERE THE FUCK DO i BUY A TIME MACHINE?

/vr/ actually has a general thread dedicated to CRTs 24/7, Go over there.

ebay or a pawn shop

Better question: Why the fuck do you want one? Something to throw beer bottles at when you're bored?

lmgtfy.com/?q=CRT Monitor

Yes user. I'm looking to buy a tube TV specifically to throw my beer bottles at. Where would the best place be to purchase one of these for that specific purpose?

the future

...

can't wait till scanlinefags literally can't find their fucking nostalgia paperweights anymore.

literally the worst kinda of hipster

Auction websites?

Is this a meme? What does it even mean? Why would I waste beer?

Check out yard sales. I got a 40" CRT for $20 (guy wanted $40 for it but I talked him down because a friend of mine offered to help me move it). My VHS tapes look like shit on newer tv sets.

The internet. You're using it.

Jokes on you. I collect VHS tapes. That's what all the COOL kids are doing.

youtube.com/watch?v=lUqd1Y1p_Jg

Clearly the user meant 'empty' beer bottles. Unless you're a faggot that doesn't like beer.

>Banjo Kazooie

It stinks!

I see them on the side of the curb all the time where people throw them outt yo be picked up. Or just check Craigslist

My house is a mess enough without having to pick glass shards out of the carpet.

I used to hate beer, then I realized how cheap/easy to drink it was.

What a mess, I could easily stack & organize that shit so the center of the room can be used.

Metal scrappers will cut off the cord if they're set out on the street corner. You have to pay people to take them because of all the lead in them.

Just check any thrift store/goodwill thing, they usually have a few.

I found one once that way.

they cut off the power cord

There a a shitload of movies that never made the leap beyond VHS.

>jokes on you that you don't have some childhood drama your unable to move on from

kek

Ohh fuck I think I still have that tape on the bottom left. It's probably still sitting in the cabinet at my parent's house

>Metal scrappers will cut off the cord if they're set out on the street corner

So once we deport all the Mexicans, will it be easier to get a CRT? Now that I think about it, every flea market I've been to while looking for games is like 90% mexican. Is Trump the Retrogaming candidate?

I don't get why people ruin the shit they're throwing out. Was once eying a perfectly good chair near a dumpster and when I came back with a truck to pick it up, someone had thrown a bucket of red paint all over it. What the shit?

People give them out for free, no need to buy one.

If you look hard enough, you can actually find 4k CRTs from the 90's. Hospitals used them for medical imaging.

If you're so desperate I can sell you.
do You want a CRT tv or a monitor?

>tfw friend & I would smash TV's that didn't work because the front panel was locked and we were too stupid to know what universal remotes were
>Probably inhaled in a bunch of fucking lead and shortened our lives by 30 years

ebin, ebin for the wind

>my mom threw out all my old tapes of me playing vidya
>all those TV shows I recorded when I was a kid
>at the bottom of a landfill somewhere

>when I came back with a truck to pick it up, someone had thrown a bucket of red paint all over it.

>4k CRTs from the 90's

Don't lie on the internet. There's no such thing.

Probably a collectors item by now. Wish I still had the Majora's mask tape. Getting VHS tapes in the mail of upcoming games was magical. still have all my old Skateboarding magazine tapes too.

This one is from '01, but Im pretty sure they had one in 4k or something very close to that in the 90's.

>Linking me to a LCD

Why the hell would you want one?

WAIT FUCK WRONG IBM

One second

I just think they're neat.

Car boot sale

The fuck is a Car Boot Sale?

Yard Sale or Craiglist

A place where you buy things off people

>BUY
You can find people giving them away for free on craigslist.

I want to get a good CRT but I don't know what the "best" brands are. I have a dinky 10" one that I got for free when someone was going to throw it out but the picture quality is shit. What would be the best brands to look for regarding picture quality? I just want to play some old vidya in an optimal way.

I don't want to get raped. Will they deliver them to your house?

Nobody is going to want to rape your scrawny Sup Forums browsing ass.

In 10 years time VHS is gonna be a hot collectible

Sony BVM series
Sony PVM Series
Ikegami Video Editing Series

Those are generally the three "best" types of CRT, but there's tons of stuff that's good out there.

>yardsale
>flee market
>goodwill
>retro gaming stores (tho they sell the sony monitors hospitals and news stations dumped for triple the price)
>ebay
>that creepy neighbors garage

They don't have any use except being a really heavy paperweight that displays in shitty quality. Stick with flat screens. There is literally no point in owning a CRT.

How do you figure? They're on magnetic tape. In 10 years they're all going to be unplayable.

Actually, it's probably not them, but some people actually collect power cords and plugs because they sell for like .05 - .10 cents When recycled, and its easier money than lugging around cans and bottles.

But dem scanlines. Scanline filters don't do the trick you need the real thing.

>your granmothers house
>your uncles storage unit
>parents attic

>this thread again

What does VHS have to do with owning a CRT? If I watch a VHS, I'm watching it on a flatscreen.

Pull that right out of your ass? 8 tracks are magnetic tapes as well and they still play fine

Goodwill around me is the best for Crts. You can get a 24-36 inch trinitron flat panel for 20 bucks.

Why would I want scanlines when scanlines are inferior to not having scanlines? CRTs are a meme.

>If I watch a VHS, I'm watching it on a flatscreen.

>Every single thing you currently own will be at the bottom of a landfill one day

Well you have to ask the seller himself, but I doubt that someone will bother to deliver an old CRT to your house.

I VILL NOT DRAG MY RUSTY METAL BONES INTO ZE JUNKPILE

There is literally a CRT thrown away a few houses down. Cable and everything. I'm not taking it because I already have a 20 inch.

Also my local thrift store has a bunch of CRTs of all different sizes for $10-30.

>Earth itself is a giant rotating magnet
>Tape has to be read by another magnetic drum head inside the VCR to even play

It's not rocket science. Just say yes & we'll move on.

The rape is why they give it to you for free. It's part of the deal faggot.

This, also you can get CRT's for nothing in charity shops, or 'thrift shops' in america

>owning a CRT in an era when flatscreens exist
There is no reason for this. Technology has advanced in a good way. CRTs have inferior resolution. Good riddance.

Life sucks now, if watching cable on a standard TV in my shitty apartment can make me briefly feel like it's the late 90's again then it's worth the $15 and heavyweight lifting.

I had to unplug my ps2 because of my new tv, it's just not the same.

it's comfy

This is bait, right? I'm hesitant to call it bait because some people are just genuinely misinformed on the positives of CRTs

Thrift stores
eBay

It's not. People are just that ignorant. I mentioned how I own vinyl records to a friend of mine & he called me a moron for thinking they sound better than CDs.

Vinly records were recorded quietly, so they distort less when you turn up the volume. But most people don't know that.

Picture related is unplayable on anything but vinyl.

The only thing CRTs are good at is multi-resolution display. All other benefits they have also apply to OLED, which have perfect blacks, accurate colors, and 180-degree viewing angle.

That said, I still use a CRT computer monitor because muh gaymes.

>scanlines are inferior to not having scanlines?

I disagree, I consider it an improvement over bare pixels, but even if you think that way, you also have dithering.

Because they're an integral part of how 2D games are suppose to be displayed.

What about input lag?

Input lag is a myth. The human brain can only fucking overwatch frames per vsync when you disable nvidya per second man.

Wake up.

OLED displays should have input lag similar to CRT if they're running at their native resolution.

Doesn't OLED burn out quick as a few years after purchase?

sounds comfy

Would I still need an external scaler for old games then?

So does CRT

Yes, you would

>So does CRT

Nigger I have a Sony PVM that was on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 366 days a year in a production house on a wall with 30 other monitors all used for sports broadcasts & video editing & it is STILL running perfectly today.

You sire, are full of shit. There's no way an OLED would last even 10% of the lifetime of any CRT from the 90s.

>tfw still have my CRT with built-in VHS/DVD player, and a backup small one also with built-in VHS that fits on my desk
It's a good feel to have my SNES right next to me, playable

Have you seen the CRTs on ATMs? Burned in so hard you can see the bank's logo even when it's off. If it's constantly on and displaying a moving image of course burn-in won't happen.

I seriously had no idea they made CRTs with HDMI in.

Bought a 24" Sony WEGA Flatscreen CRT for $20 from my local game store. Fucking brilliant image.

LCDs are fucking terrible for playing anything before 7th gen

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FD_Trinitron/WEGA
Some high-end Sony CRT TVs had HDMI input. As you can guess they came out around the time of much larger and slimmer LCD TVs so they're quite rare.
