Hey Holla Forums, let's talk classic systems, RGB and CRT displays. You don't know what you had until it's gone, and I think this is true for CRTs more than any other gaming related technology. Sometimes it helps to get a refresher course as to why they did games so much justice, but even then, seeing the best image possible on a CRT is another world compared to what some of us grew up with.
I'm planning on picking up a Sony BVM soon, as well as SCART cables for my Sega Saturn so I can really get all I can out of the Saturn. Have you got any experience with PVMs or BVMs? Or other high end CRTs? How about console RGB modding? While some HDMI mods like for the NES and especially the N64 interest me, the 0ms input lag makes that classic analog output so very appealing.
yea nycka i fuk w/ da classix my niycka das my shit right there son

why emulate with scanlines when you don't have to lol

because emulation is never a better solution than original hardware

Someone dumped a Sony Trinitron 520GS monitor at my dumpster a couple of days ago. I picked it up then and tested it out today, and then spent the last 5 hours getting my LCD to be detected again. Then it was detected, but the colors were completely fucked and I could barely make out anything at all. Needed another monitor to reset it, then I also had to reset my LCD to primary or it wouldn't display after boot, because after all my dual monitor shenanigans I somehow also screwed that up. Don't forget to shut down your computer before swapping monitors. Pic related, which is now fixed.
The CRT looks great, though, except for the shell on top being shattered which will need a replacement. 1600x1200 @75hz, 19.8" screen. 68.3 pounds :^)

God I'd fuck that monitor

Boot up some classic games on it, I'd love to see a picture of it being shown at its full glory. Can't go wrong with Metal Slug.
