Granbar posted:THIS IS NOW THE OFFICIAL CRT THREAD if you can find a CRT HDTV (most only do 1080i though) then go for it, otherwise its not going to be worth it in that case get a computer monitor instead and if the console you want to play doesnt have an official vga solution then get a converter box if you dont want to do that then just get a second-hand plasma they're better

the technology board on 4chan argues about glossy vs. matte and of course they, being wrong, support matte overwhelmingly

the healthy dose of radiation helps the body better assimilate vitamin d, the color is richer, and the hyperbolic projection angle better matches the contour of the human eye. if anything, there has been a move to discredit crt monitors as dangerous, expensive, and inferior. turns out, cathode rayguns can be made with a few salvaged components from microwave ovens and old television sets, and hooked up to a backpack mounted generator to catalyze the ectoplasmic sheath on extradimentional beings for the purpose of extraction to replenish fuel cells for plasma weaponry.

a decent hd crt will still be changing its scan rate rather than upscale the picture....or at worst double/quadruple the lines which is not a hi latency operation. i think they just switch modes though

eschaton posted:also be sure to get one that handles the widest possible range of freqs you're going to want an xrgb-3 or a frame meister. Not sure how well the frame meister handles weird refresh rates though (last time I remember, you'd still need an lcd that supported those odd ones as it wasn't going to convert them, but i haven't kept up with the firmware)

i like to pronounce CRT as "kurt" adds a little bit of a personal touch w/ a hint of harmless eccentricity if your audience is young enough to not know how CRT is pronounced in casual parlance and also provides a nonzero chance of such a youngster perpetuating said pronunciation

the trick with plasma is to actually calibrate it since factory settings are way too bright amongst other problems like panasonic made great plasmas but the stock settings made it look like there was a really lovely median filter on everything (there kind of is) and the brightness/contrast are set so anything vaguely resembling a gradient is squashed near flat
