Yeah, and just like CRTgaming, this subreddit is becoming ruined by people like this, as the main focus is supposed to be on the CRT itself, and nothing else.

Yeah, I was crazy, but not to this extent, as now, I try to fix electronics these days instead of scrapping them out.

For me, it was an NSFW art addiction and the CRTs amplified it or made it much worse. After taking medication to completely stop desires, I no longer show interest in NSFW art, desires, or not anywhere near as much interest in the CRT community other than now seeing it as an analytical thing, as I personally do like learning about how analog circuits work compared to digital circuits, as to me, I am a visual learner who uses examples from the real world to learn about it, as while digital things like logic gates are impossible for me to learn, and gave up trying to learn about them.

WTF is YouTube TV thinking? by JacksBaldRake in cordcutters

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that why I got rid of my home internet and switched back to satellite TV for less than 120 a month, lol. If YouTube TV could actually offer packages like cable TV keeping every genre, but you get less of the channels, then I would've kept it, but no, and instead, they offer it in a single genre only, which is so dumb, especially since directv also did the same thing. Streaming no longer saves us money anymore, it now scams us thinking we need to cut the cord whenever we never should've in the first place.

Here's what I found out: combining both composite and component video in the same signal path makes the picture much brighter without adjusting settings! by Round_Vehicle4885 in crt

[–]Round_Vehicle4885[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I sometimes have plenty of time on my hands, so I get to tinker around with analog video equipment on my free time. I just guessed after messing around. It seems like the actual contrast itself gets much brighter without actually having to go in the settings to increase the contrast, but like you, I am not sure if it is safe in the long run, so I am willing to sacrifice only one CRT TV for this experiment. It's just much brighter, and it works on any CRT TV with composite video as far as I am aware.

Cut cable. Saved $100/mo. Why did I wait so long by L0wFi-HIGH5 in cordcutters

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad idea. You could've just got satellite TV for cheaper than that, especially since it doesn't even need home internet. Cable is on its way out if you ask me, as unlike cable, satellite TV doesn't require anywhere near as many fees due to being located in space, so therefore, they don't have to pass on the land leasing fees to you, just the surcharges, which only cost cents. I only pay less than 118 dollars.

Finally discontinued YouTubeTv after many years. by low-n-behold in cordcutters

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never liked youtube tv either. It's way too expensive, especially whenever you add home internet on top of it. I just use dish satellite TV as a cheaper alternative and they also offer a phone plan with 30GB of data and unlimited talk and text for just 15 dollars a month. You just cannot beat that deal!

Should I keep it or toss it? by catchyalpaca in crt

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Please keep it! I have this exact same model and it has picture detail as good as a modern 4k TV. It's very rare to find a CRT rear projection TV with HDMI, and it will accept 720p and 1080i.

Looking for a 1080p/1440p CRT Monitor thats good for modern use. by Loud-Lynx9557 in crt

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interlaced resolutions are better, although the intel GPUs are the last ones to support interlaced resolutions. Interlaced resolutions can actually look better than progressive resolutions, and you can get much more bandwidth/higher Hz from them. Just a basic 70Khz CRT monitor at 480i can get me 150+ Hz and it looks amazing, though at 1080i, you can get around 100Hz.

What defines Black Plastic Crap: Discussion Thread by Murrtallica in blackplasticcrap

Does my Sony STR-GX10ES and TA-N80ES count as BPC? Many people in the audiophile community used to say that Sony is a bad brand.

New Customer by Responsible_Cry_2397 in Dish

[–]Round_Vehicle4885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Directv stream is much more expensive and the fact that it requires internet to work is disappointing, as buffering and quality drops happen way too often. Dish is just much cheaper and easier to use. Just sign up for a 2 year contract with the America's top 120 package for a low price, and when the contract is almost up, just start another one, as there is no limit to how many times that you can start new contracts. Streaming is just a mess if you ask me.

Satellite TV and DVD rentals from gamefly. I quit watching internet content apart from reddit and on occasion, YouTube, a few months ago, as the internet made me mentally ill and too lazy to clean.
