GuestI’m not OP.
But it’s my picture.
Yes it’s a 2003 $800 CCD, the dead pixels add soul
Also that text looks horrendous, looks like the monitor cannot cope with displaying such fine detail despite taking the signal you’re force-feeding into it.
It’s interlaced only because I don’t have a DAC capable of 550mhz. This monitor can sync to proper 2160p60hz, but interalced 84hz doesn’t flicker so it’s better anyway.
>You’re also only displaying half the pixels at a time
Doesn’t really matter, you see it in full fidelity. You can call it 42hz if that makes you feel better.As for the seething about quality, it’s a 20" monitor from 2002, give it some slack holy crap, though fuck you OP for making this thread.

GuestThe picture doesn’t do it favors, but it still looks much better than I could have imagined. Cramming 4k to a CRT and tiny bitmap fonts are still perfectly legibile? That’s crazy.
Complaining it’s not as sharp as your LCD is like calling Cirno dumb, no shit Shiki!>I’m not OP.
Funny it didn’t show a fresh IP in the thread when you posted that.I have a (6) on my screen on my post. I know I can’t expect any benefit of the doubt here, why would I post this? OP is a massive baka

GuestNo, it is ass. Your eyes absolutely hate it. [email protected] 50-60hz is pure flickering torture. It is the biggest reason why normies hated CRTs. You need at least 85hz to make it tolerable but comes at the cost of resolution. Again, msot CRT-scrote never ran their monitors at its maximum resolution. They always dial-back to get a higher refresh rate.

GuestHigh-khz monitors are completely headache free as they can run 85hz at any reasonable resolution you throw at them. Like the one in OP can do 1080p120hz or 1200p110hz, that’s utter overkill

GuestWell, to be fair, you’re usually not looking directly at a lamp. Nor is it a big rectangle, it’s closer to a point.
Also, generally at least some of the light in your room will come from the remarkably DC sun.-

GuestInstead of just a screen it’s all of your surroundings that flicker!!
Bullshit zoomer. Your clearly new to these brain splitting pain elementals. CRT is migraine season.
Either way, the rolling strobe with gentle phosphor decay is enough to make 85hz completely strain free for >99% of people. And if 85hz is somehow a problem you can go even higher.
72hz is visually flicker-free to me already, but few hours of exposure do make my eyes burn a little. I know what it’s like.
I can "see" the flicker of a 144hz globally strobed LED LCDs pretty clearly too, those things are really nasty. The type of flicker matters a lot.Also lets not forget one of the main reasons why CRTs are so sought after again, it’s exactly that strobe. It’s necessary for motion clarity, something LCDs or OLEDs cant do natively and imitate hilariously poorly. If you can see kiloherz flicker, sucks to be you, I guess you’ll have to put up with sample&hold blur. Something I find even more straining than 60hz CRT flicker.
>Your clearly new to these brain splitting pain elementals.
You’re calling me new?You can letterbox though please buy me a kiloherz dac so I can do it

GuestYes, 72Hz eliminates most flicker. Until you have DC dimmed sample and hold, though, there’s still flicker and therefore the potential for eye strain.
Rolling scan helps a little, but also causes scanout skew. I actually prefer globally strobed LEDs since they theoretically won’t have motion issues at all. -

Guest>kiloherz dac
gigaherz*Global strobe adds latency though. A full frame at the top of the image.
At least current OLED technology fundamentally cannot, as it’s not bright enough for the ridiculously short persistence you actually need. Also response time might a problem, we’re talking about sub-millisecond pulses if we want to match CRTs, not even OLED have the response times for that!!
For LCDs you want a ridiculosuly bright multi segment backlight carefully timed with your scanout to avoid crosstalk and latency .. nobody has made one. The Viewsonic tho, we’ll see how good a global strobe can actually get…not all of us are as weak as you. lcd blur has caused me more headaches than crt flicker.
> lcd blur has caused me more headaches than crt flicker.
Same here, I had to see a CRT again to realize that all the eye strain I get from FPS games came from LCD sample&hold blurIt’s real though.

Guest>Global strobe adds latency
Not if you do it right by using QFT. Theoretically if response time isn’t an issue, it’s actually much faster and more consistent since the whole frame appears at once. All that careful backlight timing is really unnecessary, rolling scan is only needed for eyesore reasons.
>OLED brightness
You’re kinda right about that. Currently they have ABL for power consumption and longevity, but without that restriction they could do over 1000 nits. It’ll be hard to global strobe self-emissive technologies but it’s probably possible.

GuestSeems like an appropriate thread to ask. Is it even worth buying a 1080i CRT for the prices that people are asking? Planning on using it for vidya, movies, and as a computer monitor.
Other than that I could get a 30 something inch Trinitron for like $150ish or something a bit smaller possibly for free. I just want something with component in at the minimum.I should also note I DID buy a 1080i crt for a decent price BUT it freaking stopped working entirely a few days after I bought it and I’ve called a couple places near me and they say it’s too old for them to repair it, so it’s not looking good on that front. And no, I don’t trust myself enough to repair it unless that’s an absolute last resort.

GuestThe only point of these threads is to talk about monitors and what makes them great, and make sure people realize what was lost when we adopted LCDs. Now, LCD is a great technology with many benefits, but it’s often lacking in certain areas due to complacency and ignorance. What I want to see are new LCDs with low motion blur, high dynamic range and wide viewing angles – and I know for sure they are possible.

GuestBefore you even try to use it on a PC, ensure that you have some way of actually outputting a 1080i signal to it. Otherwise you’ll most likely be limited to 720P or less. Better to get an actual computer monitor I’d say, even low end ones sync much higher than 1080i TVs.
Also, what price specifically?-

I’ve looked into it, yes. Most methods seem to be extremely hit or miss, such as all of the chinkshit hdmi to component converters.
>Also, what price specifically?
For 1080i crts? I’ve not seen one for under $400. I could just replace my 4k monitor/tv for this much. I could pick up a 36" trinitron now for $150, guy says he has an hdmi to component converter as well, not sure what it is specifically. $100 for a 32" that looks a lot cleaner physically. I may have seen someone giving one away for free? I couldn’t tell what it is exactly and I haven’t asked for any details, all I could make out was "sony" and "wega" on the front.-
