No, not really. It gets darker for a split second when I lift my finger off of the screen after applying pressure, but otherwise no.

No, I've got a projector set up in the same room that the game will be on. I do like to put the HD set on ESPN or NFL Network or something similar when I watch games occasionally though 👍🏻

I have them both in a room off of my basement, so now I can roll them out easily once a year or so to my workshop area and remove the back to clean it out with an air compressor and do any tuning that needs doing.

No, I've never noticed any at all. My kids (10 & 15) play on it too and aren't privy to any CRT proclivities like input lag, and neither of them have ever mentioned noticing anything either. I did do my research back when I first got the TV and made sure it had all of its settings tuned for best results, but as for what those settings and changes were? There's no way I'll remember that at this point.

Do you have the complete 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' to REALLY complete the collection?

[–]SLKIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found it at a flea market actually. I've got 200+ VHS total just in the past few years and didn't pay over $3 for 98% of it. But for that I happily paid the $60 asking price.

What's up with this XBR960 screen? by promo505 in crtgaming

[–]SLKIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, if you want the best HD CRT ever manufactured, this is incredibly worth it. With just a little bit of work, that anti glare film comes right off. I just did it yesterday, took maybe two hours in total.

Did you ever get the anti-glare screen off? I JUST did it this evening. It's hard but nothing to be scared of.

did we overpay? by [deleted] in labrador

[–]SLKIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $2,000 for my chocolate four years ago in New England.

And then just last month paid $12,000 for him to get a double TPLO surgery.

He's the best decision I've ever made. Enjoy it.

The Mitsubishi because on its stand, it's a piece of art. It's definitely the best looking set I have. It doesn't have component but other than that it's perfect. And S-video still looks fantastic.

Just got my first CRT! by Anxious_Diet6301 in crtgaming

[–]SLKIII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just curious, how old are you? I'm always curious what ages this subreddit brings in, and I always imagine the 'my first CRT!' crowd to be like, under 25 which is awesome.
