nexigrams 08/30/23 10:21:25 PM #17:	Those things scare the shit out of me. I saw my friend's dad get electrocuted by one of those once because he was trying to work on it and didn't discharge it first. He didn't die, but apparrently it really really fucking hurt judging by the sound he made. It was inhuman and is forever etched into my memory. --- http://imgur.com/SYiqIRC <cite>nexigrams posted [p:975763270] in I miss CRT...

Do agree that CRTs will always be best, but I have an OSSC which I use for SNES and Genesis. Games look amazing on it on my 55 inch oled. Only exception is games with prerendered assets (DKC, Mario RPG, etc). They still look like ass, just less so. <cite>chris1001_the_sequel posted [p:975763715] in I miss CRT...

ToastyOne 08/30/23 11:12:38 PM #23:	I got a 13" bubble crt last year and it is fantastic. Great colors/contrast and fairly recently made (2005). Last month I got a flat 20" crt and it is atrocious. Any scrolling movement looks like there's a gravity well on the left side stretching the image. Then there's what I would describe as a magic carpet effect in the middle. Service menu is a no go with this model. These things were not meant to be flat I see that now. This experience has deflated my desire to seek out a trinitron much less another crt. <cite>ToastyOne posted [p:975763984] in I miss CRT...

They look amazing and play amazing with the whole no lag aspect. ToastyOne posted... I got a 13" bubble crt last year and it is fantastic. Great colors/contrast and fairly recently made (2005).

This experience has deflated my desire to seek out a trinitron much less another crt. Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you'd need to open it up to either adjust the yoke or apply some magnetic strips to the back of the tube to stretch/fix the image. Simple enough fixes honestly. If you check out the crtgaming subreddit, you'll get a lot of people willing to help. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png <cite>BlazinBlue88 posted [p:975764323] in I miss CRT...

kelemvor 08/31/23 12:03:02 AM #28:	Wahh, they are so heavy! Jesus, I parked my 27" Panasonic in my gaming area and haven't moved it for like 6 years. When I do have to move it, it's like 50 lbs.
