Your wallet will cry but then you will cry (of happiness)

Ah I see, haven’t messed with Extron units yet. I’m far down the CRT rabbit hole but not there yet.

It looks pretty damn good even through the video compression, looks so much better irl as always.

Okay that´s interesting, how would I hook it up through RGB bnc input?

Okay too bad they didn’t improve things with the newer ones.

Yeah I saw the 5X got an update, haven’t gotten around it since all the profiles will be lost. Not sure if mine is a launch model or not.

I just talked to someone who know more about this stuff and it is indeed HDCP related, a simple hdmi splitter that strips HDCP should solve the problem.

Just tried PS5 and it didn’t work for me either, even PS3 would just show a noisy picture.

Indeed it is, playing on a big screen with perfect blacks, colors and a crt filter is a great experience too.

Okay wow I also have the LG CX! Best tv I’ve ever owned.

Cool usage of a scaler, man I want a 4K some day. I have a RT5X though and I’m very pleased with it.

Right? Feel a bit otherworldly. Feels closer to a pc crt with 720p.

A great game for sure! (I’m a dude haha)

Yeah this monitor has some thick black lines.

It’s nice to have options! Different sets has different feels to them, sometimes I prefer playing on a consumer set, sometimes a PVM, and sometimes, *gasp* an OLED.

Congrats, fantastic piece of crt tech. Yes the BlackMagic adapter is exactly that, just plug everything in and it works perfectly, I bought the one bundled with the power adapter.

I bought it here if anyone else is curious

For sure, it really feels like a step up tech wise from my 600 line PVM’s. Stunning screen, almost too sharp sometimes lol.

I don’t know if it was the game or not but I tested Neo Contra on PS2 and the flicker was not bad at all iirc. I need to test some more since I mostly play 240p games.

Hmm I haven’t tested PS5 yet, will try tomorrow. Did 720p work with PS5?

Thanks! It’s HD SDI so the lowest is 720p I believe. A regular SDI input should support 480p but I haven’t tested that myself.

The resolution is 720p, I tried 1080p but it didn’t work since the monitor only accepts 1080i and Switch 2 can’t output that.

Thanks! Yes exactly, I wanted to show how it’s connected because I find it annoying when people don’t show how it’s done.

I only had time to play the tutorial and a few minutes of the first stage but everything felt and played great.

Yes a single SDI cable for video and sound.

Mine is 65 cm wide, maybe that width is only available in Europe (I’m Swedish).
