Haha. That's nonsense meant to rile people up. Even if it's possible with the right expensive OLED TV to make the scanlines indistinguishable in a close-up, CRT's and modern displays are still two completely different tools for different applications.CRTs are all worthless now the retrotink 4k is here.... allegedly.
Probably.Haha. That's nonsense meant to rile people up. Even if it's possible with the right expensive OLED TV to make the scanlines indistinguishable in a close-up, CRT's and modern displays are still two completely different tools for different applications.
They're not listening.My last two TVs have had ~10ms lag and that's in the last 6 or so years you pretend daigos
Perhaps don't buy shitty mid range modern televisions
Maybe everyone's buying tiny-ass TV's, but the decent-sized OLED's go for more than I've ever dreamed of spending on a TV.My last two TVs have had ~10ms lag and that's in the last 6 or so years you pretend daigos

There's such a thing as good lag????!!Maybe everyone's buying tiny-ass TV's, but the decent-sized OLED's go for more than I've ever dreamed of spending on a TV.
My 5-year-old Samsung LED has good lag.
Just gonna pipe in here and say upscaled 2d stuff looks pretty spesh on an OLED.Maybe everyone's buying tiny-ass TV's, but the decent-sized OLED's go for more than I've ever dreamed of spending on a TV.

Haha, you're right, there isn't. It's definitely a good idea to check online to see if the model's lag has been measured and documented before buying a new TV for gaming.There's such a thing as good lag????!!![]()
I'll have to admit, I've never seen an expensive OLED with a Retrotink4K in person. That's out of my price range. The TV's at Costco only have the demo footage on with the soap opera mode engaged, no 2D gaming.Just gonna pipe in here and say upscaled 2d stuff looks pretty spesh on an OLED.
TVs are cheaper if you buy them second-hand.Maybe everyone's buying tiny-ass TV's, but the decent-sized OLED's go for more than I've ever dreamed of spending on a TV.

I followed your advice and you were right!OLED's are cheaper if you buy them second-hand.
Is there anything else you know of that’s cheaper second hand?OLED's are cheaper if you buy them second-hand.
They don't weigh that much. Most TV stands will take 75kg. I mean, IKEA TV stand are we in college?Serious question, can modern day ikea tv stand even take the heavy load of a 25-29" CRT?
Basically for a CRT, it doesn't matter much. Sound will be vastly different but image quality not so much.People forget that most of these crts they're picking up were low end or mid range junk back in the day too, unless it was a broadcast monitor or something. Some of the crt pics I've seen where it's a saisho or grundig or something and I'm like yeah wouldn't even own that back in the crt days tbh but okayyy
Grundig, Technisat, Loewe & Metz with VGA were high-end at that time. They were modular, but most peeps didn't buy the VGA module. Getting the VGA module is much harder if not already included.I want one of these ones, most of them have also VGA which makes it a multi-sync monitor. You can find them super cheap in Germany.
No idea what the quality is like :
Technisat
Nope sadly never had much experience with modern arcade stuff only at a convention and in Japan. And the occasional arcade whilst travelling.One has obviously not compared a tri-sync wei-ya 29" flat screen running in 15KHz compared to a Nanao MS9
Shit right stay away from 100hz. I completely forgot about 100hz CRTs. I had a very decent Loewe once but all games look like shit on that monstrosity.Grundig, Technisat, Loewe & Metz with VGA were high-end at that time.

Those consumers are likely 100Hz and have image enhancers that can cause lag if enabled. 100Hz also means no scanlines most of the time. No lightgun support either.
Stay away from silver Grundig CRTs, they were taken over by Beko 20 years ago. The brand is still well known but only lives on the name not the quality.

Unless you have a PVM with more lines. But I don't always think that looks better than the standard 300-600 lines.
For the USA a PVM is much more important because it can do RGB out of the box. Here in Europe, every TV from the nineties can do RGB and 60hz out of the box.
