I recognize that CRT!
Television. Displays RF (coax) composite (yellow wire), S-Video (looks similar to a PS/2 plug, or component (multiple RCA or BNC plugs) at 480i30 or 240p60 depending on the signal. Has larger dot pitch (bigger "subpixels"). There are some that can do HD resolutions on component but these are uncommon and usually 35"+ sets. Basically all are limited to 60 Hz.
Computer monitor. Displays high resolutions up to nearly 4K using a VGA plug. Has much smaller dot pitch (smaller "subpixels"). These regularly go up to 120 Hz refresh rate for a flicker-free experience.
Zoomer CRTphobes take note before you post your gibberish. These are not the same. Also, both of those are new enough that they have a thick layer of leaded glass bonded to the front of the tube, so they don't expose you to any more radiation than eating a couple more bananas a year does. Also, only the 480i/240p TV ones make that distinctive 15 kHz whine that you always accuse us of being too old to hear when we tell you about how our computer monitors don't have an audible whine. It comes from the horizontal refresh rate, which is 15 kHz in NTSC. Even a basic b***h 640x480 60 Hz VGA signal has a horizontal refresh rate of 30 kHz which isn't audible, and it's much higher for better resolutions and refresh rates.
>Television.
That's a computer monitor, anon.
>Displays RF (coax)
It doesn't even have RF inputs.
>Zoomer CRTphobes take note before you post your gibberish. These are not the same.
Jesus Christ how embarrassing.
Just ignore, dumbass 'merilard zoomer larping, didn't even mention RGB inputs for TVs
>Also retro anime is literally just drawings so most of the popular stuff got rescanned in HD
I wish.
DB/Z is the most popular anime ever and it will never be released in proper HD because Toei are a bunch of israelites who refuse to release Blurays of 16mm Film Anime
Plenty of other popular classics that will never get that treatment such as my all-time favorite Kodomo no Omocha(recently got an SD Bluray set which was just the old terrible DVDs which used shitty broadcast tape masters) which was very popular in Japan back in the 90s.
Same with 1999 Hunter x Hunter see pic related.
So many great shows will never get the rescan treatment.
>So many great shows will never get the rescan treatment.
Yep, sad. It's either AI upscale or CRT TV.
Well with shaders at 8K and higher you can easily emulate a CRT.
But this doesn't solve the problem. It's not a resolution issue so much as the master used just sucking balls as you can see in that HxH comparison. It looks extremely dim compared to the original Cel.
There are many old DVD releases which still hold up but there are even more DVD releases which just look horrible no matter if you're using CRT or not.
The Kodocha dvd really does look bland colorwise, havent tried watching the old SDs on a CRT though.
>that filename
homie, at least grab the MottoJ Region 2 Japanese rip on nyaa
The Funi rip you're using doesn't have the first opening song and it keeps muting whenever a variation of "19'o Clock News" plays.
Which reminds me that I was editing those subs floating around(mostly for second season)... mostly fixing grammar typos but sometimes also mistranslations sometimes using the french fansubs as reference and sometimes by ear with my limited Japanese knowledge etc. but I stopped at Episode 99.
I gotta finish them and upload them to Nyaa or something at some point though I have no experience with uploading torrent or how that shit goes.
I was hoping that somebody would have uploaded the new version from Discotek Media already so we could rip the subs from that(though so far they've only released the first season) but nobody has done it thus far.
The only negative I can think of with the Discotek version is that they edited the logo from the Japanese version(based on the trailer to "Kodocha" and it looks awful but we could at least rip the subs.
The JP SD Bluray hasn't been ripped by anybody yet. Those should have at least better compression thanks to modern codecs which wouldn't be a huge upgrade but still it's something.
Dude I watched that like 10 years ago if I remember correctly
Might be time for a rewatch then
Maybe, man I wish the entire series had been like this episode. A literal 100/10
The right looks better.
>DB/Z is the most popular anime ever and it will never be released in proper HD because Toei are a bunch of israelites who refuse to release Blurays of 16mm Film Anime
nah bro, they lost the good copies back when they aired the episodes, and they've been re-releasing the bad ones with lower quality in both video and audio
I remember playing this as well as Doom on DOS. Oh yes the days of CLI.
Based, looks like a Wolf3D reskin
Yeah it was Shareware. Nitemare 3d.
I have a 21'' IBM P260 CRT on my (admittedly large) desk at all times.
Certainly not my main monitor, but for VMs of OSs pre 2002 and retro vidya, the thing just feels good to use.
max comf
>OSs pre 2002 and retro vidya, the thing just feels good to use.
Max comf indeed
This is a Samsung Slimfit, very late model CRT from about the 2000s. Has component input and really good front-facing speakers. Late model CRTs are likely one of the best due to having some capabilities of HDTVs.
It's a beautiful summer day outside ... I guess I'll spend it in darkness tuning Trinitrons
whoa, is it finnally DAS time!?
Nah, I tried a while back to set up a win98 VM but it just did not want to work with QEMU.
But this monitor doesn't need DAS at all. It's in a remarkably good condition, geometry, convergency and color are all almost spot-on. Even the insides are really clean.
I really want to know the hours tho. Seems like a lightly used unit. Monitor of this age and this condition is a great find either way.
Can't say anything about 15khz specifically but for VGA, very generic cables match much more expensive ones on my GDM-F520. So as long as you aren't using a coat hanger you should be fine.
I don't even play any retro games
>very generic cables match much more expensive ones on my GDM-F520

ahhhhhh so comfy!

youre not "still" using crts. you recently got one and now youre revolving your entire personality around being an epic retro gamer
I've been using CRTs since I was a kid, continuously, that's several decades by now.
Why would I have stopped using them? You'd be blind to swap your gaming monitor for low resolution content for a LCD in the early 2000's.
hes implying you never grew up with crts and are just a bandwagoning zoomer homosexual
how do i make super resolutions like 2560x240 fit in the 4:3 screen? i tried it and all the monitor can do is too wide for it
xrandr --scale 0.25x0.25
Something like that if I recall correctly.
You don't, the monitor does. You make a 2560x240 resolution, it still displays as 4:3 is the geometry is right, then you just need to scale the content to the resolution.
>as 4:3 is the
if the*
Use cvt to create the necessary modeline and include it into your X.org config.
How much does cable type and quality actually matter for analog 15khz video?
I've got the same CRT as OP and finally decided to make some decent cables for the damn thing as the pre-made ones are all for 80's home computers. Do I need some special 75ohm RGB cables or can I just use any regular coax cable meant for RCA audio stuff? I got a whole lot of Tasker C118.
shielded single core cable if it's longer than 1,5m
As long as it's shielded and 75 Ohm, it will be fine.
>75 Ohm
What difference does cable impedance actually make in analog video?
Not as big of a deal if all the impedances for each signal are matched, but otherwise you could have wrong saturation or mismatched saturation, etc. Other issues include ringing or ghosting from signal bouncing back, etc.
It's still a voltage and there's a drop over distance but it's also already low RF levels, so RF related issues appear too. Usually 50 to 75 ohm is recommended. Monitors usually terminate too, so it's not a huge issue.
Buy a VGA cable and a DB9 connector. Costs like 15 bucks and you'll have a proper cable.
buy it from a reputable brand like extron at least, most VGA cables are garbage
>buy it from a reputable brand like extron at least, most VGA cables are garbage
>Can't say anything about 15khz specifically but for VGA, very generic cables match much more expensive ones on my GDM-F520. So as long as you aren't using a coat hanger you should be fine.
Hmm
That's what I did, having the model with the 9pin connector and not SCART.
I recently picked up a GDM W900, sadly its got retrace lines and a scratch in the foil. Ill try to iron out the lines via either a pot or software, but I dont know squat about the screen itself. Is there some way to fix the antireflective layer or can I peel it off somehow?
Can't remember if the W900 had a peelable layer. If it's not peelable, use acetone in a well ventilated place and scrub a lot.
what with? Probably not steel wool, maybe the soft side of a scrubbing sponge?
Sponge, microfibre cloth, etc
Nothing abrasive
ok
you mean like brasso?
I was looking to sell it, I have enough CRTs, but I'll try to get a good price for it
Don't use polishing or abrasive methods, you'll just send up with micro scratches in the best case
Acetone, WD-40, etc try those, the layer is a polymer and can be rubbed off with chemicals, it might take an hour of rubbing but at least you have a clean screen without any scratches
>you mean like brasso?
I used paste polish, but see the link below, spray works just as well apparently
>Don't use polishing or abrasive methods, you'll just send up with micro scratches in the best case
works on my pc and on many others
https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Remove_Monitor_Scratches
Use a sponge water and alot of patience nothing else.
Otherwise this will happen.
It will take many dozen hours of constant scrubbing but it will be worth it
Ouch
use a polisher and metal polish compound, doing it by hand is a nightmare and you wont get uniform results
I wouldnt remove it all, unless it was really bad
Kek, usually I'd be against bait like this but optical adhesive exists to fix shit like that, someone might get anons fricked up W900 for cheap and repair it
It most likely has vertical foldover not retrace lines.
Needs a recap to fix if it looks like this
it has maybe 6 or 7 diagonal lines of different but static brightness. Starting out pretty straight and ending up at nearly 45deg.
Anon post pictures.
W900 is a monitor I'd really like to have some day.
To make CRTs perfectly comfy, all you need to do is run at 85hz and at a resolution your tube can handle without blurring.
In fact a CRT would be much more comfy than VA/TN as the viewing angles are perfectly uniform. Both of your eyes get the exact same shade, something TN/VA can't do properly, and even IPS struggles at near-black.
But that said I don't daily a CRT, as they're self emissive and degrade slowly with use. I use them for vidya and vidya only.
Whatever newbie, if you've been around you'd know I've been fricking rebuilding the F520 to fix some of it's small intermittent PQ issues
cant post a picture right now, its sitting right next to the f500, bot wt my current location
I like my eyes.
Same, that's why I only bless them with the view of the prettiest of phosphor rolling scan displays.
worth the price? not much market near me for crt vga monitors
I mean you can get them still for free or 10€, so I'd say it's worth it
forgot pic rel lol
If you need one and there's literally nothing else, I guess. I wouldn't pay that for a 19" 86kHz CRT but if I didn't have any other options it's still better than nothing, if it's in good shape that is.
Yea agreed with the other anon, this isn't worth $50.
Just to set expectations, getting a decent CRT requires patience, if there's nothing available now, just wait and check again frequently. Good CRT listings do not stay up for long.
CRTs are legit better for your eyes in video games. Motion looks and feels like ass on LCDs due to sample&hold blur, it's actually a singificant source of headachy-fatique in my experience. Eyes really don't like it when they're forced to stare at an unfocusable picture for hours and hours.
And of course a CRT at sufficiently high refresh rate (85hz) doesn't visibly flicker so there's no strain disadvantage to begin with.
I own a bunch of those generic blue-black cables just like in that picture, they perform just as well as much more expensive ones, even at like 350mhz.
I even got a male-male adapter piece that lets me plug the adapter directly to the CRT, still no differences!
>the adapter
Also I tested against a native RAMDAC too, nothing. Delock 62967 and some generic VGA cable is peak analog video quality, apparently.

god, this photo of CRT looks AMAZING on my laptop panel. you just can't achieve the same level of blackness with lcds these days, you know?

Why? It looks already good on the panel
The problem isn't even your panel, it's that the picture itself / camera doesn't do it justice.

Anime tiddies are bigger on LCD.

Same, I have multi-monitor setup with one e-ink screen in it. Not good for gaming or watching shit tho.
>Why wouldn't you be able to?
Back in the day i had headaches with CRT after 3 hours. With LCD, the headaches went away, but still had eye fatigue. With e-ink everything went away. Just pure comfort.

Someone even pointed it out in the comments, politely, but all they got as a reply was "and? whats your point"? kek.

How are modern games on crt?
Any crts that support 1080p and maybe higher refresh rates?
>How are modern games on crt?
Good but I'd stick to a good panel for modern games. CRTs shine the most for older content.
>Any crts that support 1080p and maybe higher refresh rates?
You can easily have 1920x1440 at 85Hz or 1024x768 at 144Hz, technically you could also interlace to have both at the same time but image quality suffers, specially in motion, even when some blind morons will claim otherwise.
>I'd stick to a good panel for modern games
Absolute pleb tier taste. Why would you want poor contrast, poor colors motion blur filled LCD monitor over a CRT?
>LCD
Yeah, you are a pelb. Not worth even arguing with.
Something like an F520 can do 1080p120hz, 1200p110hz, 900p144hz, etc
>How are modern games on crt?
On a high-end CRT, mesmerizing. Especially for lower refrsh rate games, you can't replace a CRT, the motion clarity difference is too big.
Picture quality is also very hard to come close to if you can be bothered to set up an optimal viewing environment.
>Is it worth fix it though?
Depends on the model. If it's a 20-inch I'd at least try.
how much would I have to pay for a high end crt? any recommendations? I think the The Trinitron on your pic looks good, I hear there's also a wide screen version of it, worth it?
Not him, but
>I hear there's also a wide screen version of it, worth it?
Generally speaking, no. The only benefit is the swag factor from it's "holy grail" status.
>how much would I have to pay for a high end crt?
Difficult to say. For example, I paid 200zł (46$) for my Nokia 445xpro125 which is an excellent monitor. But in muttland such a monitor would cost much more I imagine.
>any recommendations?
Almost any 20" and above monitor. Smaller high-end monitors existed but they're generally more rare. Any 17" monitor except for those high-end ones will be bad or average. A 19" one will be good, a middle ground between 17" and 20" or higher.
>how much would I have to pay for a high end crt?
I paid 250€ for this F520, Americans would say that's a steal. This is the absolute best aperture grille ever manufactured, so it carries a premium. Almost-as-good 20-inch CRTs can be had for fraction of that price, if you're lucky and patient enough.
Paid 50€ for my NEC FE1250 and got the CPD-300SF (
) for free.
>wide screen version
The FW900, sure, if you can find it and have a spare kidney to sell.
It's not as good as the F520 at raw specs and performance, but it is wide. Depends what you value more. Or what you can find first. These monitors aren't too easy to get.
You can cut some vertical back porch to make all those modes fit, see for yourself: https://kosshi.gitlab.io/vgatimingeditor/

CRT communities are all overridden with reddit tier zoomers these days I swear

No, a CM8833-II doesn't have an OSD. These were released in the 80s so all adjustments are done via potentiometers. My KX14-CP1 is the exact same situation.
In my opinion 80s 15kHz PC monitors are the very best when it comes to playing old games console. I even prefer them to PVM.
>I paid 250€ for this F520, Americans would say that's a steal.
Try $80 for one in perfect condition. You people really have to stop buying on scam sites.
Anon I've been lurking for years and guess how many F520's I've seen or heard about in the whole country? 1 (one). I'd rather pay what's asked (especially when it's ONLY 250€) than wait several more years to roll for an another opportunity, one that could be a worse deal.
And looking at local action sites, 130khz P1130's and CPD-G520's go consistnetly for ~170€.
I didn't mean mock the monitor but my own silliness, that thing probably doesn't even have a on-screen menu, right?
Super old monitors are cool, there's a 1996 CPD-300SF on my table instead of the F520 right now.
That's not how multisync CRTs work, moron
Yea probably not worth the trouble for a 15"
>Yea probably not worth the trouble for a 15"
If it's an easy and inexpensive fix, then why not?
Because it's shit.
Good enough for retrooming at least

Dont bother replying to low ballers, they dont understand basic economics and hate the fact they missed out on getting high-end displays for nearly nothing
Yep, it's ridiculous to think anon paid 250 euro bucks for that, when with a little work you can find one for several times less. Apparently it's isn't even in good order.
I disclosed the prices knowing full well someone's going to try to bully me about it. It's a fight I chose.
Okay show me how you can consistently find cheap F520's.
>Apparently it's isn't even in good order.
It's got just 10k hours, phosphor uniformity, brightness, the tube is basically new buut it has that ghosting issue very common to F520's. I bought the monitor knowing it had that fault. It's usually easily fixable by reseating the video board, and that did work in my case too - for a few hours. It's super persistent in my case.
I believe a permanent fix for this would be to replace the internal contacts, but finding something suitable has proven to be difficult.
>Okay show me how you can consistently find cheap F520's.
I flip a lot of hardware, including CRT. Lighthearted "looking for" ad's plus also good bots to scan local sales listings and grab them the instant they pop up are a sure way to find gold. In the last 2-3 years I've flipped seeral F520 and never even paid half of that. Have fun.
>In the last 2-3 years I've flipped seeral F520 and never even paid half of that
You're telling me you got a steady supply of F520's for less than a 100$ every single time in the last 3 years at the height of CRT euphoria? This would be more believable 15 years ago.
A few F520's, not like it's been a truckload, pretty sure one was even free but I'd have to check my records. Usually the Sonys I encounter are just G and E models, I don't usually bother with smaller E/G's though, just big ones.
Really not that hard, I run across a couple high end CRTs a month usually, being located in one of the more densely populated western places on this round rock though.
>Lighthearted "looking for" ad's plus also good bots to scan local sales listings and grab them the instant they pop up
That's exactly what I have done. I still get a notify about every single listed CRT, higher end models are just sparse here. You see them once couple months on average.
I've seen several FW900's tho but all in poor condition with ridiculous prices.
The city you live in likely has several times more people than this whole country.
I'd love to get my hands on an Eizo F980 some day, to compare it to the F520. Which one is better??
No, but it has something better, an on-screen service menu. Read your service manual.
Does it suffer from black crush, can you not increase the brightness enough to make blacks gray? You need to increase G2 for that.
If that's not the issue you may need to invest in a colorimeter. CRTs are expected to run at little whacky gammas natively.

Pros/cons of shadow mask/apperture grille/slot mask?
I have all three types, and when they're properly calibrated you'd be hard pressed to tell any difference. Now, the main difference isnt in the tube type and yes in the electronics/engineering behind it. If you have a shitty low-end budget monitor on a shadow mask, it's gonna look worse VS a good Trinitron (99% of them are good tbh), specially if we're talking about 17" displays.
Things get very interesting with high-end displays however, according to many early 2000s forum posts, where CRTs absolutely peaked, it seem the general opinion is that: "Shadow masks are better for text, AGs are better for graphics/color work".
Nowadays, you'd pretty happy with any high-end tube, be it SM or AG.
slot, shadow, grille?
Also, let me add that advantages do exist for AG and Slot Mask. In my experience they're less prone to moire patterns and whites are "cleaner" compared to shadow masks.
is there any software similar to das for mitsubishi monitors, i have a rebadged 2070sb and it could use some polishing in software, its gamma is too low to be usable
Anybody ever build his own CRT driver/signal decoder? I have a bunch of what I think are TTL displays that Id like to use with VGA/Composite, but Im not sure I want to meddle with them in this capacity.

at what hertz used crt? if ~60, then it is understandable. at 120+ Hz CRTs are even more harmless than LCD, flickering is absolutely harmless and imperceptible at this frequency, the phosphor glow spectrum is more natural and natural than the glow of LED backlight
Even depends, 15kHz CRTs have slower phosphors to reduce flicker for example.
crts should have been banned ages ago, the radiation alone is terrifying
>crts should have been banned ages ago, the radiation alone is terrifying
Shit bait. People can google you know, apparently you can't.
>Not only has the radiation exposure from CRT monitors been shown to damage and mutate brain tissue, but it has been shown to cause potential damage to the reproductive system, as well. Both these ill effects could create life altering damage and impact.
.It was later found that TV sets from all manufacturers were also emitting radiation. This caused television industry representatives to be brought before a U.S. congressional committee, which later proposed a federal radiation regulation bill, which became the 1968 Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act. It was recommended to TV set owners to always be at a distance of at least 6 feet from the screen of the TV set, and to avoid "prolonged exposure" at the sides, rear or underneath a TV set. It was discovered that most of the radiation was directed downwards. Owners were also told to not modify their set's internals to avoid exposure to radiation.

Also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube#Ionizing_radiation
CRTs can emit a small amount of X-ray radiation; this is a result of the electron beam's bombardment of the shadow mask/aperture grille and phosphors, which produces bremsstrahlung (braking radiation) as the high-energy electrons are decelerated. The amount of radiation escaping the front of the monitor is widely considered not to be harmful. The Food and Drug Administration regulations in 21 CFR 1020.10 are used to strictly limit, for instance, television receivers to 0.5 milliroentgens per hour at a distance of 5 cm (2 in) from any external surface; since 2007, most CRTs have emissions that fall well below this limit.[552] Note that the roentgen is an outdated unit and does not account for dose absorption. The conversion rate is about .877 roentgen per rem.[553] Assuming that the viewer absorbed the entire dose (which is unlikely), and that they watched TV for 2 hours a day, a .5 milliroentgen hourly dose would increase the viewers yearly dose by 320 millirem. For comparison, the average background radiation in the United States is 310 millirem a year. Negative effects of chronic radiation are not generally noticeable until doses over 20,000 millirem.[554]
1/2
cont.
The density of the x-rays that would be generated by a CRT is low because the raster scan of a typical CRT distributes the energy of the electron beam across the entire screen. Voltages above 15,000 volts are enough to generate "soft" x-rays. However, since CRTs may stay on for several hours at a time, the amount of x-rays generated by the CRT may become significant, hence the importance of using materials to shield against x-rays, such as the thick leaded glass and barium-strontium glass used in CRTs.[190]
Concerns about x-rays emitted by CRTs began in 1967 when it was found that TV sets made by General Electric were emitting "X-radiation in excess of desirable levels". It was later found that TV sets from all manufacturers were also emitting radiation. This caused television industry representatives to be brought before a U.S. congressional committee, which later proposed a federal radiation regulation bill, which became the 1968 Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act. It was recommended to TV set owners to always be at a distance of at least 6 feet from the screen of the TV set, and to avoid "prolonged exposure" at the sides, rear or underneath a TV set. It was discovered that most of the radiation was directed downwards. Owners were also told to not modify their set's internals to avoid exposure to radiation. Headlines about "radioactive" TV sets continued until the end of the 1960s. There once was a proposal by two New York congressmen that would have forced TV set manufacturers to "go into homes to test all of the nation's 15 million color sets and to install radiation devices in them". The FDA eventually began regulating radiation emissions from all electronic products in the US.[555]

CRTs are museum pieces, they aren't that impressive anymore and haven't been for some time.
Go ahead keep chugging down the nostalgia pill if you think otherwise.
What else are you gonna use for /vr/?
Bro just use filters kek
I might when we get 4k or 8k 20inch OLED panels with strobe.
who the frick uses crts lol
>vga input at best
>need giant desk for it to be Infront of you
>weighs as much as the desk
for what
「 We get 200 Hz monitors for 50$. We admire the widest viewing angles and velvety black, the absence of loops and input lag, excellent color reproduction without glare and visible image pixelization, as in 4K. We admire the reliability of monitors made in Japan, watch movies with theatrical picture quality, work with color, and, of course, play. So top for your money! 」

>not getting any (You)'s and getting angrier
>literally shit reading comprehension and doesn't see the part about it being a non problem for decades
Anon is probably shaking, they could not even write wiki but wrote WiFi kek.
Best part is that I even have a radiation dosimeter and a Geiger counter, I've measured all my CRTs myself, since I'm a autistic homosexual. I'm immune to the radiation bait.
