This Thread is for you!

Composite only shitbox into very sharp rgb monitor. All photos taken over RGB.

Just posting here because I just did these pictures to compare for myself and maybe its interesting to anybody.

Most of the times I cannot decide which to use…
Obviously rgb is way sharper and has better colors. But the dithering effect gets los and I usually enjoy the „nostalgic“ picture more than the „better“ picture.

If only it wasnt for the sometimes massive dot crawl on red-ish colors.

Over the last 2 months I've been working on a custom PCB sporting a tweaked amplifier design from the KV-35XBR48 to use in my KV-35V35, and the results are amazing. Most people I've seen doing a YPbPr mod on 90's trinitrons wire the inputs directly to the jungle chip and just tweak the cut and drive in the service menu to get it looking right. This messes up the color balance on every other input.

The CXA2025S and other Sony jungle with "external" YPbPr inputs require 0.7v p-p for EYIN, 0.78 p-p for ERYIN, and 1v p-p for EBYIN. Since Pb and Pr output at 0.7v p-p, they need to be amplified before going to the jungle chip. Using the standard luma 1v p-p on EYIN is fine because the rating is only accounting for the 0.7v of video data and not the the -0.3v sync pulse. My PCB outputs the correct p-p voltage levels for each signal so that the color balance & saturation are correct and match the other inputs.

Sorry mods for re-posting 3 times, the photos kept uploading in the wrong order.

I have an Apple monitor that uses a curved 17" trinitron tube that weighs roughly 50lbs yet most of my other 17" monitors that use shadow masks, both curved and flatscreen, weigh ~30lbs. The only exterior difference I've seen is that the Apple monitor using a trinitron tube has more grounding and an aluminum shielding. I understand that Sony TV sets often have large speakers and other components but in the case of the tubes themselves is there a reason for them being heavier than a standard shadow mask made by Samsung or LG?

Like the title says, I can't see my scanlines, i'm at 320x240 and I think I did everything right

thank you so much for being so nice on my last post!! i poked around the buttons like someone suggested and it centered right up. sorry the screen is showing something totally different from my game now lol, i started watching this quiet river stream and couldn't stop. gonna log off and just relax with this view on the glass tube for a while, hope everyone has a super cozy day!

My room had an eternal must to it but I miss this setup! It was so cute

If you keep an eye where it says “big blue” and “name pico” you can see the menu warp in size. I’ve noticed this happen pretty common when playing a game, the HUD/Menu will move and contort when there’s movement happening in the game. I’m wondering what might be causing this and what possible solutions are?

Hello r/crtgaming. I recently picked up a crt for the first time since I was a kid and I've noticed these very faint vertical lines when using RGB scart with my PS2. I've tried my best to capture it with my phone. The TV is a Trinitron KV-m1440u. If anyone has any info on this or can tell me what's wrong that would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello i just found a victor（JVC) vm-10 color monitor on internet, looks this model not bad, so i want to use it as a gaming screen, but it looks like in the video, when the power on(no signal input), it showing full of white noise thing. What kind of malfunction could this be?

Thank you .

Hoping to add some older consoles on the bottom rack. I want a Nintendo 64 for sure but let me know if you have other suggestions!

Tv: ILO DTV2794

Currently I am planning on designing a cabinet for my BVM-D24 (Yup a widescreen BVM) and my plan involves creating a easy cable pathway and management for each console but from researching I noticed that since I can technically connect HDMI via DAC I am interested in using PC and other devices since it is in the same room and will be next to it most of the time.

While at since this BVM has no speakers I happened to have a decent JBL tube speaker that fits just fine but there's one problem, it is AUX only so I am gonna need something that can take multiple RCA and just output one AUX if something like that exists since I doubt I could connect SCART directly with converting to 4-BNC

please don't roast me lol i don't really know much about retro tech or settings like everyone else here. i just thought the clear plastic and the little green light looked super cute in my room, and floating around in my game looks so soft on this glass screen. sorry if the picture looks bad! do you guys use monitors like this too? i might spam a few more pics later if that's okay, or maybe i'll just lay in bed and chill!

TV: Sony Trinitron KV-27S42

Hide the pain lol. The good news is, I think I did finally find a local one, just need to wait until the weekend to get it because I’m out of town but the owner seems happy to hold it for me!

I just can’t figure out a good way to clean them lol, I know I can use a q tip and get in there I just don’t know the solution or liquid to use.

y'all made me realize how amazing crt's can be in the modern age, especially with how good oled tv's are. sure oleds are great sets, but nothing beats a crt to play some classics on
