>not a FV310
dropped

you know how impossible theu are to find?

it's a fucking tv.
get a vga monitor you pleb

CRT makes very bad monitors, and you're gonna be stuck with 800x600 at best

I have this oldass Vistapoint 80hz monitor that i got out of the trash.
It is infinitely better than the shitty lcd tv I was using before. yeah, the resolutions smaller but that wasn't really a problem for me pre-2010

>you're gonna be stuck with 800x600 at best
nigger you what? Mine has 1024x768 native

dont assume monitor, i want it as a tv

What model?

my parents had a 32" Wega, 1024 looked like shit, and the text was unreadable in most cases. Had to lower it to 800 to make it usable.

see

>154W

my entire PC + monitor don't even reach half that

lol. Old Sony CRTs use 275 watts

What country uses 240V mains but also spells color as color instead of colour?

My last CRT did 1280x1024@85hz. Just saying.

I was referring to TVs being used as monitors. sorry for the mixup

Pinkstation reporting in!

Quintrix & Diamndtron IN THA FLAT!

Can't top the colour!

COME AT ME BRO!

WHY DO THESE THREADS DIE WHEN I POST!?

GET THE FUCK BACK HERE WANKERS!

I hate this fucking shit board!

Sup Forums is slow today

dumb question, are CRTs 120hz by default or what?

Depends what frequency your line mains is.

I bought a 13'' Panasonic CRT from Salvation Army for $5 to play Super Smash Bros Melee on my gamecube.
The built in vcr had a copy of Die Hard 2 in it, tv works amazing, never had a problem. An overall win

I own a KV32-FV310 and a 36-FV310. Paid $25 for the 32

Protip, check Goodwills near upper-class areas and git gud

>DiamondTron

n o i c e

I want to get a large-screen diamondtron

I have a 22" back at my house.
2560x2048@54Hz
Have to run it in fglrx x
Windows soft caps 2560x1600 for VGA

wtf is this bullshit.

no.

I would be cool to see some modern CRT that has better contrast than old crt's.

The idea of using something that doesn't use real material pixels is cool to me.

...

>tfw new gpu doesnt have an analog output
>tfw i literally had to downgrade my monitor because of "new" tech

Maybe ill switch to amd if they support analog in their next cards.

If you don't even know what line mains frequency is then you don't deserve on of the worlds finite dwindling CRT displays.
Google SED

That is why I got a 980ti instead of a 1070 or 1080.

I had a 980ti but i had to RMA it and they gave me a 1070 as a replacement. And when i emailed them about it they told me to get a new monitor.

I know what mains frequency is, and it has nothing to do with vertical scan rate.

btw SED is a matrix of tubes and therefore has "real material pixels"

crt's do kinda use pixels sorta, or at least something that resembles pixels

difference being is that they can be upscaled/downscaled much better due to how they work and don't really have a native resolution, aside from the number of lines

they support wide range of frequencies, depending on coils inside and resolution

Why my crt isnt working?

you might want to connect the power cord brul.

Trinitron master race. I sold my pc and I want to try plug old PS3 into my glorious CRT. Can i buy some chink convertor? How would you do it?

ps3 to vga then vga to BNC?

BNC has the VGA male on it already, any trick for the HDMI to go to VGA, I've read its pain, scaling is shit, plus the sound will be a problem. And im not keen on spending more for hdmi to vga convertor then ive paid for the whole crt...
Maybe PS2 would be easier?

no dude use the AV connector

Pls forgive senpai,i am such a pleb, its old tech and i havent messed much around AV technology. How do I plug the PS2 AV cable,? It has 3 pins and here are 5

just get an adapter for analog to digital

Could you link how thst loojs like or type out what to search for?

just buy your pc back already

Next winter, I will go full paycheck on a build :)

how the fuck do I get an external 400+ MHz DAC going on a new-ish GPU?

It seems like every DP->VGA adapter out there is garbage.

Does any manufacturer still put a DAC and a DVI-I port on their new cards?

I was tempted to get a CRT TV in order to play PS1 games on hardware again. Then I remembered how fuckhuge and heavy and power-guzzling they are, and scratched that idea.

I might still make an (RGB+sync-on-composite)->VGA adapter. Apparently I need to chain several filters and ICs, and would need to verify that I have a monitor that can accept 240p.

(Me)
I think sync-on-luma (using the svideo Y signal) works too. The pinout info for the PS1 seems a bit inconsistent but it probably makes sense to get sync from the least busy comp signal.
