      show your crt's perfect black level then, zoomer. crt having perfect black level is a meme. you can have perfect blacks but it will also skew the gamma making it impossible to see near-black colors.

        I worked in a broadcast studio for over 30 yrs. Tech quite literally went from black and white to trinitrons (which as anyone who has worked in tv in the past will tell you - used to be the epitome of broadcast quality)

        just because you've been memed by IQfy doesn't mean you're an expert, smart or right.

            Also even if that were true, your DyAC garbage fails spectacularly, even in your picture there's crosstalk. It also doesn't work properly at 60hz, which is a requirement for me.
            But I use CRTs because they provide both excellent picture and excellent motion.

            Yeah, they're better than any CRT if you don't live in mommy's dark basement.

            Digital to analog, moron. And that happens regardless if you're using an adapter or not.
            You could even argue external DACs can be better for noise as the converter isn't inside your noisy PC.
            In fact with a male-male vga piece you can completely eliminate the VGA cable and plug the DAC directly to the CRT - there's actually even adapters specifically designed to do this.
            The picture you can get with CRTs is better now than ever before.

            If you're arguing that LCDs don't have these issues at all, that's a different argument and preference. Many like the smoother gradients and lesser posterization of analog displays. Even fricking LTT noticed this.

            is relevant:
            any crt with vga is ANALOG, any *modern* graphics adapter is DIGITAL
            so, based on the pic I used the signal is going from a crt (ANALOG) to an hdmi connector (DIGITAL).

            1) your eye sight is fricked
            2) your "perfect" black on your display is overcrushing the near-blacks

            he doesn't care about objective metrics. he doesn't know why tubes were good then and he doesn't know why they're still good today. i've used a crt monitor basically daily since 2014 and at this point i won't game on anything else.

            muh youngest kid was 15 by then - she'd literally never seen a crt screen - because they're objectively shit.

            Arguing with crt trannies is waste of time. It's absolutely irrelevant if crt monitors has some benefits over lcd or not as they aren't being manufactured for 20+ years at this point. They're not coming back and they're not getting cheaper, more obtainable or reliable as the time goes by. It's a museum technology which fades out from existence as we speak. If I can't get FW900 for ~$600 max this is where the conversation ends as there's much better monitor options above this price point. Motion clarity isn't the ONLY thing which matters in monitor. Most people prefer at least 24"/27" 16:9 or even 21:9 as these are more comfy for productivity tasks and content consumption than ancient 19" 4:3. Brightness is also something crts (~100cd/m) can't even compete with modern displays measuring at 300-500cd/m which is a lot more usable in brightly lit conditions. Color gamut on crt is also limited to sRGB at best which lcd monitors has perfected a decade ago and moved on to a wider ranges. The fact you're clinging on a singular aspect of image quality only portraits your severe autism and lack of rational thinking.

            Has to do with strobing which reduces brightness. You're correct that tubes don't get higher than 300 nits, but the phosphors themselves glow at several thousand nits for a very short time.
            2500 * (1/16.66) is approximately 150 nits.

            Yea, we like good overall picture quality too, not your half-a-nit blacks that become 5 nits when viewed from the slightest angle thanks to IPS glow.
            >Color gamut on crt is also limited to sRGB at best which lcd monitors has perfected a decade ago and moved on to a wider ranges.
            First, there's absolutely zero utility for wide gamuts in a gaming monitor when absolutely all games worth caring about are sRGB.
            Second, you're not a photographer, and even if you are, you're not printing your works, you're posting them on the interwebs where everything is sRGB.
            Third, wide-gamut gaming monitors are particularly garbage at sRGB because they're gaming monitors. They have not been produced for color accuracy. Even their wide-gamut modes are usually quite all over the place. It's literally an oversaturation gimmick.
            Fourth, actually color-accurate decent LCDs are absolute dogshit for anything interactive. You cannot eat your cake and have it too with LCDs either.
            Fifth, monitors did not master sRGB. My decade old AdobeRGB Eizo monitor has an atrocious gamut and cannot cover anything properly. This is a late-game CCFL, once we switched to blue LEDs with yellow phosphors we went 5 years backwards in progress.

      Laser DLP projectors are great but as you said ambient light kills them. It's really something you need to build an entire room around and understand quite well in order to get a good image.
      Given we're heading towards absurd resolutions and refresh rates I don't think multisync is that big a deal anymore. Starting at around 16K you could nearest-neighbour scale anything arbitrarily and the pixels would be so small that you could never notice the errors.

      Actually overrated as hell.
      The multisync of a CRT is far from ideal.
      CRTs have a fixed pitch so for example a 240p or 480p on a High End PC CRT Monitor looks like emulator with fat scanlines.

      With 8K+ Resolution you can emulate a variety of CRTs for each scenario you could want with a simple click.
      This makes it superior to CRTs which could never hope to achieve such a feat.

      Laser Scan Projection is dogshit because of the speckling issue and nobody working on it.
      Laser DLP is just DLP with Laser backlighting and doesn't have most of the good stuff from Laser.

      I can see Laser Diode Displays become a thing in the far future since Lasers offer:
      >the widest color gamut
      >the fastest possible response time(picosecond compared to a few nanonseconds for MicroLEDs)

      And we still have NanoLED after MicroLED before we ever get there. But all in all I don't think you guys realize just how much of a big jump MicroLED will actually be for display technology.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Splitting hairs over picoseconds vs. nanoseconds is pretty pointless. MicroLED is so fast that you can already have any refresh rate you want with strobing and the works and it will never be an issue.
        Gamut is also not that big a deal on even current displays, we can almost do 100% Rec. 2020 already.
        Laser projection my stay around for very large displays, but I honestly don't think we will get something more optimal than microLED unless we somehow design an even better lighting technology. LEDs are even within an order of magnitude of perfect efficiency.

          The bigger reason for why they would ever use Laser Diodes would be the wider color gamut.
          Quantum Dots and Laser have wider color gamuts and they could cover the future Rec 2100 standard which I don't think MicroLED can but that's far in the future anyways.

      Many CRTs can do 1200p though, some 1440p and 1536p, that's a lot more than your 1080p.

      We haven't had a single good thread in years, I've checked out most of them, even the ones I missed out on I've gone thru on the archive. It's all shitty zoomer shitposts and arguing. The zoomers not being able to ignore shitposts and constantly just re-posting the same few CRTs pictures of their has made these threads into unbearable garbage.

      >implying le olde CRT threads weren't just the same dozen rEtRoOmEr pictures over and over again
      At least we produce new content

      I'd hardly call 96kHz low end.

      In 2000s CRT markets got flooded with cheap sub-par 19" 96khz monitors. They're super common and qualify as mid-low end, as they don't even have stable voltage regulation.

      I keep hearing about crt flaws but whate actually are the flaws?

      Looking at this thread the only flaw they can mention is worse light-rejection.
      Not like LCDs look the best under lighting either

      Your pictures have gotten little better, good job.

      >Imagine paying 500€ for a TN monitor

          Considering the amount of 130-140kHz monitors I've picked up over the last half a decade for free, I'd consider it overpaying and I'm from a pretty small country in Europe.
          Your experience may vary though.

          To be fair I only lurk listings and don't engage with whatever local community there may be, but for now I'm not aware of a single other >130khz unit here.
          I've seen couple =130khz units and they've gone for 160-180 euro on AUCTION sites, so the market value here for these monitors is approximately that.
          Seen 3 FW900's though, but all in pretty shitty or even dead condition.

          >flickering mess under output under 75hz and it cannot be unseen once your visual cortex gets used to 85z or higher.
          This is true. at 60hz crts are quite bad
          >grainy quality that impacts image clarity from results from the nature of AG/SM array that starts to become noticeable at high resolutions (greater then 1600x1200)
          Havent experienced that personally but possibly on coarse masks
          >needs frequent tweaking and calibration if you want accurate colors and minimize screen distortions (This what killed them in the professional graphical circuits)
          Not really a flaw, even brand new lcd monitors usually need to be calibrated for better color accuracy

          >grainy quality that impacts image clarity from results from the nature of AG/SM array that starts to become noticeable at high resolutions (greater then 1600x1200)
          He keeps repeating this but I've ever seen this effect on mediocre shadow masks. Even .30mm aperture grilles don't appear grainy at all. They just becomes quite soft at 1200p, though still resolves everything really well (thin single-color lines don't vanish like on SMs). Mode modern .24mm/.22mm AGs are extremely sharp even at ridiculous resolutions.

          How can I get a CRT for free?

        Sure but it's all about context, is your 300SF low-end as well due to it being 85kHz? Is a GDM-W900 low-end because it's "only" 96kHz? It's just a spec that cant tell the whole story, and more often than not most mid/high monitors are 96kHz, in my experience.

          I agree with all you're saying, and I was only talking about those cheap 00s units. Older monitors are a different story, the fastest monitors Sony had for most of 90s were 96khz afaik.
          You can't really use khz at all for judging quality except at the extremes. Thus I usually tell new anons to just get the biggest monitor possible.

          They're fat as frick.
          Besides that though, their flaws were pretty much ironed out on high-end units (ones with digital regional adjustments for convergence, geometry, focus, etc.). Deranged anti-CRT posters have probably never seen anything better than their old bargain bin 15" HP compaq.

          >it's just a sub-optimal experience.

          >crt is perfectly smooth at 60hz
          Nope, it is a flickering mess. 60hz is objectively shit for motion accuracy.

          >Nope, it is a flickering mess.
          It's literally fine unless you stare at a mostly white screen for ages, like a light web page or document (something nobody shills CRTs for anyways). Most games are a mix of light and dark; stuff will be moving around and you'll be distracted from any flickery areas. Your eyes get used to it too, I used to be a lot more bothered by it than I am now, although I never thought it was as bad as you're making it out to be.
          >60hz is objectively shit for motion accuracy.
          This statement is objectively false, or at least very poorly worded. Even if your eyes are super extra sensitive to flicker, you would still see how much better the motion is at 60Hz on a CRT. You would just find the flicker overly bothersome on top.

      Everyone else knew how to check up in the manual.

        Yes video quality is dependant on monitor and video card like every display device ever
        >flickering mess under output under 75hz and it cannot be unseen once your visual cortex gets used to 85z or higher.
        This is true. at 60hz crts are quite bad
        >grainy quality that impacts image clarity from results from the nature of AG/SM array that starts to become noticeable at high resolutions (greater then 1600x1200)

            No, you need to specifically support strobing at 60Hz. Unless you have a monitor with such a high refresh rate that you can do a very silly software BFI.

            Answer the questions, don't deflect.
            Nobody is talking about software BFI. My comment on the compositor was about running the display at 120Hz+ (with BFI if you will) and having the compositor simply double the frames from a 60Hz source (a game or w/e "content" requires it). This will result in the same clarity as the 240Hz display you originally replied to.

            Yeah so what's the point in claiming it's brighter than a 1200 nit OLED for example?

            No it won't. For 120Hz display you output 120FPS with the compositor displaying the frame from 60Hz twice. This is not rocket science.
            If anything it will improve clarity because it will strobe twice.

            Absolutely wrong, use your fricking peanut brain for a sec.
            Your eyes move smoothly while the object stays still and is flashed twice. This leads to a double image like this

            [...]
            >doubling frames
            Leads to a double image (on strobed displays)

            On a non-strobed display it would just be a smear, because the object is not moving for 1/hz seconds, while your eyes are. On a single-strobed display, the flash appears in the exact same spot on your retina, so it looks crystal clear, like things in reality look.

            What's so special with 60Hz? It's an arbitrary artifact of the analog era.
            120Hz+ on LCD simply feels better.

            It may be little arbitrary but it's a good cutoff for animation smoothness* (different from motion smoothness, with animation I mean things that cannot be visually tracked, like legs of a video game character).
            You'd also be surprised how responsive and smooth things look on a 60hz CRT. Needing to push framerates is a brute-force way to compensate for shortcomings of modern displays.

            * phantom array effect still applies tho

            In my method it doesn't, you misunderstand the issue on that screenshot. If this was the case then static images with BFI would give you nausea.
            >It may be little arbitrary but it's a good cutoff for animation smoothness
            But it's not. Media is released at frame rates indivisible with 60Hz. So if you're not running at native refresh 23.976Hz most content is you're getting artifacts in some form.
            >You'd also be surprised how responsive and smooth things look on a 60hz CRT.
            I don't need to be surprised, I am old enough to have worked with amber mono displays and lived through all generations after.
            >All video
            False, almost no old video is 60fps. Modern ones are, but not movies, and those work better on 120+

            False.
            >All old games
            Mostly false.
            Again, concrete examples of games requiring absolutely exclusive fullscreen 60Hz modes please. Any game that can be windowed or borderless fullscreen will be handled by the compositor.
            Bonus: Windows 10 deprecated support for exclusive fullscreen and is emulating it for old games on newer WDDM.

          That in comparision looks like dogshit, and at 60hz (usage: any 2d game or video) it becomes orders of magnitude worse.

            Hay gaygit did you miss the part where I said first gen oled MONITOR you dense frick? It's also the first gen ultra wide monitor as well it's tuned for gayman and not picture quality. Hence the dogshit 8bit 165hz od and not running it at 12bit 60-120hz which apparently drastically improves color and shit.

            Technically yes there where smaller oled monitors but they where terrible and now what I'd consider apples to apples comparisons

            Gayman benefits the most from good motion clarity. The fact it's a monitor specifically for gayman, but it gets beaten by decades-old office CRTs in one of the most important game-related metrics, is an embarrassment.

            No, high refresh rate and FPS. I'd pick 360Hz 500 FPS over 120Hz 500 FPS any day, even if the first has worse motion and picture quality. There's really no games that require better motion clarity than what good displays already do, even if they don't have very good motion clarity.

            No I just own both good CRT and monitor, the difference isn't big enough for me to disregard the refresh rate and latency. Specially since I don't have to run at 1200i or 600p which even with better motion clarity on the CRT often just looks worse than the worse motion on the display.

          Pretty much any 140kHz CRT can do 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz, you'll just have black bars on the top and bottom, I'd do a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of widescreen.

      Again, concrete examples of games requiring absolutely exclusive fullscreen 60Hz modes please. Any game that can be windowed or borderless fullscreen will be handled by the compositor.

            >Their BFI wasnt real BFI anyways
            It is, you seem to not quite understand what BFI means in this context. The black "frames" being inserted aren't strictly the same duration as regular frames, like they would be using a hacky (and inferior, unless you had a VERY fast refresh rate) software implementation.
            The longer the black frame duration (and, consequently, the shorter the regular frame duration), the less motion blur will be seen by your eyes.
            For example, at 100Hz (10ms between each new real frame) it could be like this:
            >Frame 1 shown for 2ms
            >Black "frame" shown for 8ms
            >Frame 2 shown for 2ms
            >Black "frame" shown for 8ms
            Repeat 98 more times, and you've got a second of strobed display output.
            "Low", " Medium" and "High" just adjust the ratio of real frame duration to black frame duration. "Low" may mean 4ms real and 6ms black, while "High" means 2ms real and 8ms black.
            (The actual durations will depend on the display, I'm not sure if any available OLEDs can go as low as 2ms frame persistence, but it's theoretically possible).

        >they're all P780's
        Not coincidence? You know the exact model and it actually is the 17" version of P1110?
        He actually left a high end 17" Trinitron behind anons. It's 85khz too.
        At least it wasn't a P991 or the P1110, I guess

      A dell monitor? What color and shape was it? Was the CRT flat, how big was it?
      The Dell P1110 and it's smaller brothers are my favorite CRTs by looks, if you left one behind, you really fricked up.
