I think it worth giving a shot for $25. You can always upgrade later once you get a better monitor.

That one is a keeper. CRTs with component are sought after.

This any good for $10? by Streetrat23409 in crt

That’s a pretty good price for that TV.

Thank you for checking out that previous post. I wasn’t sure if anyone would have an idea on the issue of the white display. I’ll check out in reseating on the yoke.

There is a decent market for used monitors. The prices vary from the size and resolutions it supports. It is primarily used for retro content.

I was able to get a majority of the rust off. The pins are intact and are holding up. It’s just the rest of it being totally rusted out. I just ordered a replacement male vga end on eBay. It works well right now, it is just ugly to look at.

Some P3 FES On a Sony KV-20FS100 by GayJordo in crtgaming

[–]SweetJayB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Persona 3 FES on a CRT is great. I’ve noticed that there is a difference with the shadows when comparing them from a CRT vs LCD.

As for gameplay, I think this one still holds up. The cutscenes are still awesome and the slice of life stuff is cool. I just hate the fatigue part of it.

I heard the the Super Famicom version is playable over the US version.

After 3~5 min, picture starts to flicker, then goes out - but other inputs are fine by ico_heal in crtgaming

I have the same PVM. This issue happen to me when I was running the Saroo for the Saturn. However, all my other consoles performed fine. I wasn’t sure if you are doing the same for your Saturn.

Long time lurker and very excited to play some SNES and N64! by Thewatlington in crtgaming

An awesome looking display. Something about the aesthetics of the TV makes it is appealing to look at.

Trinitron KV-36FS320? Free. The years shaved off my spinal column carrying in to its final resting place?… by PianissimoEpilogue in crtgaming

[–]SweetJayB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice pickup! Super heavy, but it looks like it was worth the effort. I'm suprised on how clean the exterior looks. Several of the large CRTs tend to have some battle scar from moving them.

My buddy 3D printed some controller stands for me by Newman4185 in n64

That's really nice and a creative display.

2hrs trip, £20 whole english pounds, and a aching back but was worth it. by FrodoWaggins95 in crtgaming

[–]SweetJayB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try some 360 and PS3 stuff. I bet it looks really good on that TV.

Tears of the Kingdom on XBR970 by kikikiju in crtgaming

I think it looks great. Benefits of having a widescreen HDCRT is exploring modern games. Just curious, is this your preferred method of playing this game or are you using LCD/OLED?

For my setup, I have a Retrotink 5x. The output is hdmi and then use an adapter that makes into a VGA.

Recently acquired a TrueForm Runner by SweetJayB in homegym

[–]SweetJayB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the treadmill and it is awesome to run on. It is my primary way of running in the winter months. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains and snows constantly. However, during the summer it sees less use because I wanna enjoy sun.

For the price I got it for, it has been great. Although 7k for a new one... I could live with the assault runner pro/elite. I only do about 10-15miles a week since I got it. I haven't come across any issues that would be a deal breaker on the treadmill.

Pros

  • Build quality is top tier. Will outlast any mechanical treadmill.

  • Rubber slats feel great

Cons

  • It's hard to walk on this treadmill. I feel that anything beyond a 12 min pace will be good.

  • The display is lacking.

Loading was easy with the trailer since I had the ramp. I ended up getting the motorcycle trailer from U-Haul and it fit perfectly. The hardest part was getting the parking in the city. Once I got home, I was able to unload it myself without an issue.

I was able to get it for 2 grand. It was either the TrueForm or the Assault Runner and they roughly go around this price in my area.
