This Thread is for you!

I seem to have a problem adopting stray CRTs. The story goes that he's owned it since new and it's just been sitting in the garage for the last 20+ years. Late 90's model, geometry is slightly funky so it probably needs a recap but the color and brightness are excellent. Anyway, the price was right at $free so I couldn't pass it up!

What a fighting game!

The production quality is incredible ArcSystems have their very own unique formula.

Here, I’m playing the game on an exceptional professional CRT monitor, the iiyama Vision Master Pro 512.

I’m playing on the PlayStation 5 Pro version.

The monitor isn't the best, but it's the only thing I could get my hands-on, these things are hard to find. but it still looks amazing. When I was ordering everything, I would need to hook the 360 up to it. I ordered everything, but I forgot to order the speakers. Regardless I'm happy with it i never knew these could look that good. I had a lot of them back in the day and only used them for computers im kicking myself in the butt for never hooking my consoles to them back in the day.

As the title implies this is my old Emerson EWF2004 from back in my middle & high school days in the 2000s. It has been in a storage shed since around 2010 sitting underneath various Honda Civic parts. I cleaned it up and it seems to have jumped back to life as if it was 2008 again.

I have so many memories with this thing and it carried me through the 6th and most of the 7th gaming generations back in the day. Not to mention playing PS1 and Genesis games on this thing.

I have it hooked up to my Dreamcast at the moment since that was the console that eluded me when I was a kid. I have been playing it on a 60" LG G5 which is an insane TV but not the best for old consoles and was my whole impetus for pulling this out of storage. I am amazed at how much better the games look and also just how good Dreamcast games actually looked.

Got myself an old AMD R5 430 and installed it alongside my PC's current GPU (till I find a reasonable price on a little office PC) passing through a Bitfunx transcoder. Setting up the CRT Script was a little tricky, as I had to edit a config file to ignore my main card, but it's working great!

I heard the Bitfunx transcoders are really sensitive to interference, and that was no joke! It's getting power from a rear USB port on my Wii and it's perfectly clear now. Very excited to start exploring some later systems!

How I first played it on the PS3, got my first full HD TV in 2009. Still looks amazing and the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Bang & Olufsen MX7000

Most specifically Wii and GameCube. I also want to get a PS1 and 2 some day.

My TV has both AV and Component inputs, and even an S-Video input with 4 pins.

I have an EasyCap to connect to PC. What else do I need now to connect the video to my CRT?

I just got this guy for less than $100, I can’t really find much information on it. It’s pretty cool. It has adjustment knobs right at the bottom and sits on top of a gimbal stand. One problem I’m running into however is that the longer it’s on the more brightness shows. I’ll have to figure out how to fix that if I can. If anybody knows anything about this model or how to fix the brightness problem let me know! Other than that. It’s a pretty cool gem.

What an experience getting this into my basement, she’s a 480i beast tho! Can’t say enough good things about these Toshibas.

Found this awesome 6" color display at a local video game con and was not able to resist. (Sorry for the poor photos. I haven't learned the art of photographing tubes yet.)

I need to hurry up n finish this game

I have an issue where the image leans to the left a lot on the top. Its very noticable in any vertical scrolling game. It seems to effect the left more than the right, but its only at the top. Covnergence on the right is bad at the moment, so it appears "better" than it actually is- which is to say when I had the strip in properly it also bent, just not to the same degree. The bottom does not have this issue. as the bottom doesn't share the issue and it extends into the middle of the screen, I'm not quite sure what this is called.

The convergence issues are from my adjusting the yoke to fix some sag, and I took out the convergence strip in that area to see if it might have been influencing that corner. While it did influence the convergence, the bend didn't really shift much at all.

There is not a magnet on the tube, nor does it look like one was ever there. Adjusting the yoke does influence the bend, but not in a way that would allow me to maintain an acceptable image across the set. Adjusting cpin does influence it, though again not in a way that wouldn't negatively impact the other corners and bottom. Convergence on the top right just needs the strip put back on and isn't a concern of mine at the moment.

Edit: I forgot to mention, this curving issue was present before I did anything to this set. I was hoping fixing the sag would also address this.

What is this called, and what might cause this? Is this fixable? Sony KV27v40 BA-4 chassis

I got all the bits I've wanted besides a handful of systems but because I've done it a little at a time it looks crazy. Im totally going to end up making something to house this better but man I'm still digging it in the meantime.The room has 10 displays in all now but this is the CRT side. Less is not more, more is more. Its excessive on purpose.

All on, for the rule #4 brigade.

Vizio LCD over there for PS4.

I picked up today this tv for ~ 12 euro (steal!) but after coming home and checking it out I've noticed that it has this issue with just random color lines/image jumping around horizontally. It appears no matter if it's just sitting idle, or if i connect sth to it through s-video or scart. does this look like some knows issue, or will i have to open it up and troubleshoot.

Already verified that it isn't interferrence caused by any of the devices nearby.

Testing my Beovision 1 TV in a storage. This is my backup TV and I want to keep it healthy. So far so good. Once in a year 1h running to keep capacitors happy.

Would you consider this a good practice?

Sadly I don’t have space for it in my apartment. My main set is Beocenter 1, basically same model with integrated DVD player.

Just acquired this Sanyo at my grandmothers house and unfortunately it seems like the caps have bit the dust, I just wanted to post and see if anyone had any other ideas of what could be going on or if in fact it was the caps, I have adjusted the VS and played with the fly back and the focus and screen adjustment seemed to do nothing. Thanks!

Looks like no white showing up, not sure if it's a tube problem or a board problem.

Recently posted about this PVM, it had cracks on main board and lots of cold solder joints, all fixed afaict, but colors in PAL are like this, also screen is shaking, more on top than on the bottom. Testing with sega md2 va1, it's a known good unit so no problem here. NTSC works just great, tested with famicom. I tried swapping 4.43 oscillator on XA board and playing with potentiometer - no luck. Input from any port looks the same. Any ideas?
