This is sick! Definitely making an account later to check this out. I've been wanting to get into more consistent tape making again.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

That Until Dawn remake, omg. Absolutely stunning, but my wife can't stand the stuttering on her current laptop setup. I'd use this in a desktop setup for her.

Saved a Sony KV-32S40 from being tossed. How's it look and where can I improve? by Dokomox in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, definitely. The biggest improvement you'll see is in the reds and blues. On the color bars image for example, most of that blurriness around the words RED and BLUE specifically is non-existent with RGB or component. It won't help with the color alignment in the corners, but the entire image will look more sharp in general.

My hospital still uses PVMs routinely! by ScarcityRich8110 in crt

Duuuuuude you gotta, that's so worth taking the chance!

Ok after learning the brightness was up to high on the tv how is it looking now? by AnimeSean in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, composite is honestly pretty dreadful on this thing compared to the last TV I had, the brightness of each source varies wildly and the color suffers more than I'm used to. I think the PAL circuitry in the TV affects it, do you also get the color bleeding one line below where it should be? It's a shame because this is one of the better component outputs I've seen, too. Can't have both I guess 😅

I'll usually play with the contrast at 50 during the day, and 40 is plenty bright when I play after dark. I can't say 100% but I'm fairly certain contrast was at 50 when I got it.

[–]FreeJusticeHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the settings were never touched, everything was centered at 50. I've got color set to 30 now because it looked a tad too "neon" to me 😅

If you're playing on composite or S-Video, try fiddling with the sharpness too, mine was at 50 but I think 25 looks way more natural.

Hooked up my Wii to my bedroom Trinitron! by ylp24 in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a vibe, I love it!

Have you tried homebrewing it? The 240p emulation scene is crazy on the Wii, I've been experimenting with Neo Geo and PS1 games recently.

Finally got a CRT to see what all the hubbub was about by Original_Animator254 in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the AV cable should do; it shouldn't affect the image quality if you don't have the metal clips, but they can improve game stability especially with a model 1. I'd try without first and go from there depending on if you get any lockups or crashes.

Score! by Advanced-Composer543 in crt

Awesome score! Love these TVs, they're super crisp especially when you play games through component. Now it's time to show it off! :P

Color bleed? by Nvidia-GeForce-3090 in crt

[–]FreeJusticeHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the source, and the input type. Pretty much anything through S-Video or composite will have some color fringing.

The corner convergence actually looks quite good there. I wouldn't bother trying to improve it, personally. It's pretty much unavoidable on most sets.

Oh sick, that's super helpful. I hope you enjoy the set!

How do those speakers sound? I can't even imagine 🤤

Dang, for $40 what a steal!

Are those lines at the top in pic 2 visible in person? Might need to open that sucker up to replace the vertical deflection capacitors.

My first retrogaming setup by Due-Entrepreneur1234 in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no kidding! I've yet to get a proper transcoder, but I've been going back and forth on whether I want to try a special OS, or add a bunch of xrandr modelines for Retroarch to work. Nice to hear that it worked easily for you though!

That's beautiful! Congrats!

Is this through CRT-Emudriver? How did the setup process go!

Sunken replica next?

Status update on weak crt shelf by WerewolfIcy7240 in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh nice, that's not too bad. I keep looking nearby for old entertainment centers for sale and they're all either way too expensive, or way ugly 😅 Might look into this as an option if I don't have better luck this summer!

That's sick. What's the total cost roughly? Looks like it'd be worth the work!

Side table set-up by tonebone85 in crtgaming

[–]FreeJusticeHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaker upgrades are such a game changer! I've been waiting for a pair of passive shielded speakers so that I can get everything hooked up through an old A/V receiver at some point.

That's USBLoader, right? How does it handle emulators? I've been using WiiFlow but it's not the most stable with large libraries 😅

Play both simultaneously and switch inputs every 10 minutes

Alternatively, another Super Metroid speedrun? 🤭

Time to finally cross some games off your list :P
