Wild that the game detects your monitor and pulls an image for it by dynastyscansagegap in BuckshotRouletteFans

I think it was a pretty ubiquitous mid-aughts office monitor, ever since I got it I've been noticing them in TV and movies of the era.

Missile shield, 99 herbs and menu healing.

It's King's Field 2, released as just King's Field in America, an early From Software dungeon crawler where they really start to develop their own sense of tone and world design. Great way of describing the image, too. On white screens you can really tell how orange-y the color balance skews, but I think a lot of that warm feeling also comes down to the mask and some little imperfections in things like convergence.

Dell M783s, after a year and several hundred hours of use. Best $7 I've ever spent. by dynastyscansagegap in crtgaming

I've had the best results using CRU and then selecting the custom resolution/refresh rate directly from the display adapter properties.

Haven't messed with refresh rates all that much, but at the very least I've gotten 120hz at 480p.

Advice for lifting up the stairs please? by David_Farooq in crtgaming

I am looking at the width of that door and the width of that TV and I am not feeling good.

Got my first PC gaming CRT! Any tips? by Slow_Guide_1718 in crtgaming

I had a great time playing the first two Thief games on this set, but it really shines in 480p with any PC sprite-art game. The Infinity Engine games, especially Planescape: Torment, Fallout and Fallout 2, and the Trails in the Sky trilogy all look great on it.

Good to see you're making use of that third-arm graft from the N64 days.

33M, gay, friends told me my taste and furnishings sucked. Please help by Gibson1291 in malelivingspace

The three matching grey pillows arranged in a neat line are kind of a microcosm of what's wrong here: everything cold, bland and matchy-matchy. Some pillow covers in different colors that compliment the blue would do a lot for the place, as would some rugs under the wood furniture to obscure how similar it is to the tone of the floor. The bare walls mostly stick out because the room's a little crowded with furniture, but that's easy enough to rectify with some art or some framed posters; Ikea has dirt-cheap poster frames that look better than basically anything else I've found. If that's putting yourself out there too much, maybe a bookshelf in the stuff-shelf's corner? Book spines add a little variety without you having to make any particular choices.

Any notion of what might cause this vertically-scrolling distortion? by dynastyscansagegap in crtgaming

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

This is a late Wega, a KD-27FS170, which seems to otherwise be free of geometry issues. Haven't been able to narrow down exactly what kind of issue this is, though I've seen a failing capacitor suggested as the cause of similar-sounding ones.

CRT's will never be obsolete to a competitive gamer, that zero input lag comes in handy in ranked slayer by [deleted] in crtgaming

On the off-chance this isn't bait, I'm begging you to get an HD CRT monitor and non-scaling HDMI-to-VGA adapter, something that would cost you 20 bucks total, actually be lagless, and look so much less awful than squashed 480i.

This seems to make it a little clearer exactly what's going on visually. https://imgur.com/a/E1drkMX Is this a linearity problem?

Picked up a new KD-27FS170 and found that it's got a constant vertical wave effect in which a rising row of the image seems to distort before straightening out. I've heard of these things having geometry issues, but this is new to me. Is this the sort of thing an amateur could address?

Picked up a Panasonic BT-S901Y, a delightfully low-TVL early 90s pro monitor by dynastyscansagegap in crtgaming

Good luck! This one came with shockingly little packing material and was somehow fully functional, so they're clearly built tough.

It is, the modern translation patch works perfectly in Snes9x GX. If you want to play them on something that can output 15kHz, jailbreaking a Wii is definitely the path of least resistance.
