Tell me Sup Forums, do you still own a CRT to play older games?

Tell me Sup Forums, do you still own a CRT to play older games?

What games do you play on it? Personally I play from NES era to PS2/GC/Xbox hueg on it and it's top comfy.

CRTs are the new vinyl, for hipster faggots who think old technology is inherently better.

Go masturbate into your starbucks cup you hairspray stinking degenerate.

>do you still own a CRT to play older games
I have an old IBM CRT monitor somewhere, but I haven't used it in years.
There's no point to in anymore, VGA only (so I can't even connect it), low resolution of 1280x1024, ghosting on the image.
My 32'' 1440p monitor is definitely better.

emulation settings has that emulate CRT thingy. it's actually fucking nothing

CRTs are trash

In the day of CRTs we tried as hard as possible to get away form CRTs. I had my consoles modified with RGB SCART output and I used a commodore computer monitor to play all the old pre 7th gen games.

People that think theyre "comfy" tend to be fats, weebs, and stupid kids intent on having negative image quality in a power sucking, space wasting monstrosity. noty

Crts serve a purpose for retro games since they are designed for 3:4 240p

>3:4

>the crackling sound of a record is actually the way a lot of the best music was intended to be listened to
>excuse me for a sec I feel a fart coming on
>brrrrrrrrrt
>ahhhh, nothing smells more refreshing

- You

sorry 4:3 I should be asleep

>Go masturbate into your starbucks cup you hairspray stinking degenerate.

Nope. 210 lbs fit workout 5 times a week own house have GF and 2 kids. It's my turn to make baseless assumptions, you're probably a friendless NEET or have a burger flipping job who fap to anime girls and think about suicide everyday.

>durr have kids
yeah buying crts is the type of shit a reproducer would do

have kids and a "Girlfriend" great job blight of the human race crt user

Right, and you're also a doctor with several sports cars, with a hot wife, and have more bullshit inside of you than an actual bull would ever have.

Only one of these things is true.

Except I never claimed any of this. Where's your next straw? Get fucked.

R U mad because you own a shitty 4k lcd with input lag?

Kids are up early today.

>play from NES era to PS2/GC/Xbox hueg
Why though?
I'm 28 and consider the vast majority of those games to be pretty terrible. The few that I actually like are easily emulatable.

...

>waaaah mommy someone on the internet made fun of me

Get over it you thin skinned pile of organic grade shit.

>I have shit taste

I'm 28 too and I love both older games and modern games. What's your point?

>No. My CRT died and i always were a PC gamer with LCD anyway.

>mmm you just don't understand, such a plebeian
>now if you'll excuse me, I must fellate myself into a vegan sock while I cry

>resorting to waaaah mommy non-argument

Argument won.

Yeah why not? If you have the space for it and still have your retro systems/games growing up it would be pretty silly not to have at least one.

Also have a PVM on my desk and a SD-Trini next to this Wega.

Except there are actual legitimate upsides to CRTs. Audiofags I know say the same thing about vinyl so maybe there's something there too.

I hate hipsters and bugmen as much as you but the defining trait of those people is making their method of consumption their identity, because they're raceless, sexless, rootless economics-driven slaves. It's not just being into old shit that makes you a hipster, dude.

...

You seem like a cool guy, user. Would play some sweet n64/ps2 with you.

Literally the only good thing about CRTs is that they last FOREVER. I manage a computer repair/recycling store and people are always bringing in CRTs that they have had for 20+ years and still work perfectly.

>resorting to

You resorted to acting like an asspained little shit over absolutely nothing, as if you deserve anything more.

Oh wait, you're a hipster, you naturally feel entitled to 'more', regardless of the circumstances.

Thanks user! I appreciate that.

Who doesn't have some sort of CRT hanging around? Do people just compulsively throw away goods when they buy the next new thing?

>still playing this

you can't un be 40 dude

protip, new games are better

>hi I have a hoarder mentality, please take a seat next to my pile of mayonnaise containers and gently used adult diapers

Still playing Turtles in Time? I'm still waiting for a beat 'em up to even come close to topping this gem. New games are good, but that doesn't somehow made old games bad.

>un be 40 dude
what?

Not really. I made a thread about CRT's and you came in spewing shit and inciting shitposting. You're the little shit here, kid.

turtles in time has 40 minutes of gameplay user. 40 minutes. and im sorry but some brand new heartless soulless musou game like warriors all stars is more fun than turtles in time was, because its fucking ancient and you can only do like 3 fucking moves

theres little i can fucking frown on more than endlessly replaying OLD SHIT in your limited time on earth, and you know exactly what it means that you cant un be 40, which you are desperately trying to do

pps river city rnasom is better than turtles in time

>comparing disposable items with something that has the life expectancy of a CRT television

I have the space to keep it and I still use it from time to time, why would I throw it away? It still works fine.

I guess I'll have to wait for their school to start before we can have intelligent conversations.

CRTs generally have less input lag than modern TVs.

And modern TVs suck at displaying low-res input

Mocking dumbass hipsters is fun, if you weren't some pansy with a manbun and handlebar mustache, you'd understand.

>new things are automatically better and are more worthwhile because they're flashier and have a greater semblance of depth
>anyone who enjoys older video games is a gen-xer experiencing his midlife crisis
Hmm. How do I know you're underage.

>musou
I would never in a million years compare the two.

>40 minutes
so then it's a quick little nostalgic trip every once in a while, with solid gameplay, jammin' ost and beautiful graphics.

>limited tie on this earth
and yet here you are, and you probably come back every single day to do the EXACT SAME THING.

please with you.

Come on now. Has any of you (talking to 25 and over adults here) ever trieds to play PS1 games on an HDTV? This shit is beyond nightmare.

rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag

CRTs have effectively zero input lag but 12ms is also effectively zero. not even enough to make a difference in guitar hero

yes my criticism hits too close to home so i'm underage, keep staving off 40 by playing old arcade games ;)

Someone's mad. Please post more low tier banter.

>hi look at me I'm an adult
>trieds

>mad
>not killing time waiting for a torrent to download

sure

>>limited tie on this earth
>and yet here you are, and you probably come back every single day to do the EXACT SAME THING.

fucking this. I laugh when Sup Forums tries to lecture about making smart usage of their time.

I'm not even twenty, and not the user posting pics.
But I think you are actually underage.

I have a Sony Trinitron & modded Consoles with Component, but with 4K & Retroarch Shaders you can get pretty close to CRT quality, only issue is input lag

Here's a (you) friend

>40 minutes
it's a fucking beat 'em up you dense faggot. are you not familiar with the genre?

That TV looks pretty cute. Can you plug other consoles into it or is it a Dreamcast machine?

no because my old one broke and /vr/tard hoarderdads drove up the price to astronomical levels

People are literally willing to GIVE them to you if you can save them the job of putting it in the garbo. Just look around, not on retro gaming related sites.

I got rid of a defective Trinitron CRT HDTV but still have this one.

Bullshit, that's only true if you go full-on PVM (although you can still find good local deals, just not online). Regular TVs you can just get by walking around the city and seeing one on the curb that's being replaced by a flat-screen

Yes I do.

CRTs are necessary for retro gaming, unless you are too stupid to not notice the terrible input lag in most games when using a modern television. And no, a Framemeister is not good enough.

you can like old games but they are objectively supperior on an emulator at higher resolutions

>at higher resolutions
That only works for polygonal games. You can't actually make a sprite-based game higher resolution.

And I'd argue that I enjoy the CRT look of old games on a real TV, rather than the pixel look of an emulator. But that's personal taste.

That's because the games were designed to be played on a CRT.

CRTs are a meme

About 4 years ago my parents were moving and they still had a crt for their bedroom. I tried moving it and the plastic casing literally could not support the weight of the tv and crumbled in my fingertips and shredded my hands.

All crts need to be destroyed for the good of humanity.

But that Commodore monitor is also a CRT.
Am I being bamboozled?

You have failed the test

>liberals will defend this

I do. I use it to play lightgun games mostly.

I fucking love me some Point Blank and Time Crisis. I even like Dino Stalker.

what if i'm a liberal and i'm against that?

I'm pretty sure hating common core is one of the few things everybody can agree on

>use the repeated addition strategy to solve 5 x 3
disregarding that they did the correct thing but the teacher is aucostic that it wasnt done im guessing its a her way. Disregarding that though what are these questions?
the language is too complicated to be for children just learning how to use numbers for the first time, but the questions are so basic that anyone who isnt only just learning numbers should be insulted that they are even asked to solve such mundane drivle.

The teacher did nothing wrong. They asked for five sets of three and four sets of six, not three sets of five and six sets of four. The student should have gotten detention or expelled.

Math is a social construct you bigotfascistxenobladechroniclesxnazi.

It's probably 2nd or 3th grade multiplication test. Nowadays they design the questions so that literally any idiot can do them.

>And no, a Framemeister is not good enough.
Why not?

CRTs are literally necessary for things like light gun games.

>My 32'' 1440p monitor is definitely better.
Buyer's remorse.

>Tell me Sup Forums, do you still own a CRT to play older games?
Sorry, I'm not a fetishist.

Yes.
>what do you play
Everything from 6th gen and prior.

There is no upside to vinyl other then applying a shitty static to the recording, removing detail, and acting as an artificial high-pass/low-pass.
You can add the same warmth with a preamp to each track of you want.

I'm not an audiofag so the most I get into that is downloading FLAC or 320k when given the option. I'll take your word for it.

I played all my old games last summer and looking to sell my Panasonic 26" EDTV. Unfortunately I'd have to wait until I get home to take pics

Forgot to mention, NYC area.

I wouldn't worry about it.
My soundcard cost more then most people's toasters on Sup Forums and I listen to compressed MP3s with crappy earbuds on my phone.
The only time I care about fidelity is when recording.
People that listen to vinyls in a dark room from 10k systems while jerking off with honey mustard lube are fucking retarded.

All my CRTs have had saturated reds bleed across the screen so much I had to turn down the saturation for shit to be viewable. CRTs suck.

Of course, anything interlaced looks and plays terrible on a LCD

I wouldn't need one if modern tvs had the proper sockets.

Even having the right sockets won't help. 240p an 480i images upscaled to fit an HDTV look like dogshit. You ever break out your old video games and hook them up to a flat panel TV and think to yourself "huh, this looks much worse than I remember"? That's because it actually DOES look worse. And that's without mentioning the lag. Modern TVs have tons of lag when you play standard def content. It makes playing games insufferable.

Recently got a LaCiE electron to play my saturn on, had to get an xrgb3 to get it hooked up though. I really underestimated how good it would look.

t. underage who have never experienced playing on CRTs

What's wrong fag, don't like Ikaruga?
