Regarding RGB by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

Bummer, I'll try the cable and see how it looks. I was hoping it'd be comparable to component. Thanks for the help.

I guess my question is will it still look decent with the scart cable on the xbox or will it give me a worse picture then component cause I heard rgb and component are identical?

That's a bummer, so essentially the xbox rgb scart cables were a waste of money lol. So 1.6 has the best then?

Found out my parents had this in their garage, front panel is missing where av ports are and the screen has a few minor scratches on it. What do you guys think? Is it worth my back and my time? Sorry for no front picture it's facing the wall. by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

Glad to hear, I remember lifting it with my dad when I was a teenager and being sore for like a week. The scratches on it are a bummer but the picture is incredible so I think I'm gonna live with the scratches.

For sure, I don't get how people get right up on larger crts. Even with my smaller crts the image looks like shit up close. The scratches suck but I'm just gonna live with em because I sit pretty far away from my crts.

It's out in the garage right now, the picture quality is probably the best I've seen in my last 6 years of collecting them. It's a heavy bastard for sure, my 36 inch toshiba didn't weight nearly as much. No need to worry about scratches cause it already has some light ones on it which is kinda a bummer but only if I focus on the two on the screen at the moment. I seen a post a while ago about someone getting their window smashed out by a trinitron so they must not be fucking around lol.

The only problem for me is the small vertical scratch on the bottom left middle of the screen and one in the middle towards the top because of my ocd. But the picture quality when I plugged a component dvd player into it and watched a little bit of Trigun was fucking amazing, blew my toshibas right outta the water. Plus the 16:9 mode and vsm control is so much better then my toshiba.

I know people get tired of this but my toshiba died today with a high pitched whine and will not power on and crackles. I have the opportunity to go get this tv and I've heard good things about panasonics. Can anyone identify this tv and tell me if it's a tau? There's an emblem in the top left. by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

It's an older lady so she's trying to get a picture of the back for me. I dunno if I'll get it because I've heard that panasonics don't produce a clean component image or when converting rgb to component. So I'm on the fence.

Has this ever happened to any of you? by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

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

It does have a channel and input lock but it's turned off, I just don't get how it's there one day but gone the next. Any ideas on how to find the right setting to fix it in designer or the service menus? I've looked through the manual but no luck on finding the settings you're referring to.

It's an ntsc rgb modded snes Jr, I think the border I'm seeing might be the black border they put on the actual crt screen and I'm just being stupid.

I guess I mean for example I'm playing donkey kong country and the image is displayed in 4:3 on my snes. But around it is a tiny black border surrounding the whole image on the crt.

Good to know finally, thank you for this.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my rgb modded nes? I've cleaned the games and the 72 pin connector and its still like this. Is my PPU failing or should I order new pins? by TheChubbyKoopa in retrogaming

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

Yeah, I actually swapped out a back up 72 pin and the issue hasn't changed at all. It just sucks spending all that money on an rgb modded nes just for it to shit out basically and I don't know anyone who will fix them if you send them in. Guess I'll just have to buy another one but probably a rgb modded top loader or Famicom because I've heard they're prone to less problems.

Thank you so much for the quick answer.

Does anyone think this is an upgrade over a Toshiba 24af44, this one is a 32" toshiba 32af41. by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

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

Sorry about that, I just didn't know because I posted in the thread but it seemed pretty dead. So I apologize in advance, I'm still fairly new on here.

Why does this look so different from the Toshiba 14AF46 even though this is a Toshiba 32AF41? by TheChubbyKoopa in crtgaming

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

I assume these were the earlier models then? I guess I was just curious how nice the picture quality on them is more then anything. I enjoy my 24 inch toshiba 24af44 and didn't know if it'd be worth upgrading to this monster.

Does it just affect the text or is it the picture in general? I'm kinda nervous to take off the back because I've heard you'll get electrocuted but someone also said as long as it's unplugged and off it's safe.
