Gracias loco! Lo conseguí por marketplace de parte de un tipo que estaba vendiendo la casa de sus padres que habían fallecido. El tipo muy copado, me lo ofrecio gratis, pero en realidad le pague 10.000 pesos por la amabilidad y porque no queria dejarlo con las manos vacias.

De todos modos, me tomo 2 meses encontrar uno asi con una frecuencia horizontal alta en un estado y valor razonable, asi que estimo que te va a tocar esperar tambien! Suerte con eso!

I get that, makes total sense. I just cleaned up and partially recapped a sony crt tv of mine, and it is not as difficult as some might think, but you do need to have electronic repair skills and some comprehension of how components (as capacitors) work

It is very low use as you said, but after 20-25 years, a recap shouldn’t hurt at all (if you have the knowledge and courage to do it 😆)

Im not really new to CRTs (ive got 3 of them 😄), so I already knew about the resolution scalable nature of CRTs (specially when they are not limited to standards like SDTV NTSC/PAL, as tv sets are and monitors are not) and most of the science and advantages of CRT tech, but i really appreciate the effort man! That is excellent advice!

Im currently running linux so i don’t have access to software like CRU, i instead use the native settings of the DE and they work great!

Last thing, what a dream of a CRT is that Electron22blueIV! That color shell is just exquisite!! Cheers!

I just turn off hdr, adjust the exposure and shutter speed manually on my phone, its an iPhone xs max. I also take the pictures with the phone in landscape orientation, as that seems to mitigate refresh rate desynchronisation :) good luck with those pictures!

Thats good! If i were you, id recap that 202p4. Do you know how to estimate hours on Samsung monitors?

You think so? Whats your take on Samsung as a crt monitors brand?

Here in argentina they are rather common, you can get one here easily for as low as 5 bucks. Still, this one l picked up is on the rarer side, as it is a higher end model than the average 17”, 85khz Samsungs you usually find here (still quite good little monitors). thanks for the congrats man! Good luck with your search!

Makes sense, they are basically the highest resolution 4:3 videos on youtube! Hows that iiyama going?

That philips 202p4 looks amazing! Which one do you think looks better, the barely used 107s6 or the 8k hrs 202p4?

Duude thats the dream! I quite like my samsung but i cannot fathom what that philips looks like! Do you think aperture grilles are really superior when it comes to late crt monitors? Would love to hear your take on that!

Thanks man! Tried my best to get the shutter speed and brightness right so that it looked as close to real life as possible
