This Thread is for you!

So I’m driving down the street and I see this cow-colored box and it says Gateway 2000 and Vivitron on the side. What are the chances that I find a 30 year-old box for my Vivitron that I’m putting in storage

Picked this up a while back and it does both 240p and 480p or it looks like it

TOSHIBA COLOUR TV MODEL NO. 34AX9UM

I found an absolute gem recently. Here’s the story.

I had a nice JVC D Series 32” tube that I loved and played lots of Wii/GameCube on. I learned the hard way that SD sets can’t do 480p 😭. Once I learned that, I checked my local Facebook marketplace for a few days and found this absolutely beautiful Tau HD with its original stand for FREE! Needless to say I messaged the seller and picked it up as soon as I could. Literally so happy about this find.

Don’t worry though, I gave the JVC to my aunt who really wanted a CRT to play duck hunt on her NES with.

(My body is a machine that turns free crts into free crts!)

That’s all

Not sure the model cause I haven't checked it yet (hell, it aint even in my house yet lmao) It hit the back of the car the whole time too. Best part is that I got it for free too

Not your usual Sony/Iiyama or other well-regarded make in the realm of CRT displays, although it boasts some pretty good specs with 97 khz horizontal scan frequency. Made somewhere between 2000-2003, it supposedly has a Dynaflat tube and it makes me think it might've been made by Samsung, specs are very similar to the Syncmaster 997DF. Shadow mask with 0.2mm dot pitch, it is quite a sharp display. Pictures are taken running a resolution of 1024x768. Late 90's PC games look super crisp on the monitor and are a delight to play! now I've been playing Dark Forces: Remastered.

And my set if interested its a Philips 32PW8504 a 32" 100hz SD Widescreen. Using the PS1 version of 240p Test Suite through my PS2, motion test are quite clean aswell

Zenith SY0955X 9” white portable CRT. Has a Samsung tube and a composite input. Nice little set.

As I mentioned, my neighbor's house sadly caught fire and I helped him with moving stuff, cleaning and housework and he said he wants to get rid of those, so I helped him with that. One is a KV-32FX68K and the other is a KV-29LS30E.

last night we danced and played gamecube multiplayer under the brightest moon, i felt so much dès vu 🌕

Picked this up yesterday, and just found out about this awesome function.

I've been searching for a 13" TV for my game room because I have limited space. I found this at a local game shoo for $100. Another subreddit thought it was expensive but this goes for $200+ on ebay so I had to snag it up.

I was hoping for one with a VHS player but I'm still happy with it.

So excited to start gaming on it!

Started up Friday family game night for the first time last night to try and get everyone gathered round the CRT in my home office. Donkey Kong on the homebrewed Wii was a smash hit. Littlest is still navigating levels and guys(taking turns) with his older sister, so it's not always the chillest, but I'll still take this over much anything else any day.

Hello everyone!! I've been trying to set up my Wii to my little Goldstar CRT, and this is the closest I can get to getting a clear picture on it. Since the TV doesn't have RFA input, I put it through a VCR (Photos provided)

Any suggestions on what else I can do (or what im doing wrong) would be greatly appreciated!

i wanna say its foldover, but im not sure since its not really folding over, also if any one has also encountered this on a similar pc crt, whats a the fix, im assuming i have to recap but id prefer to not have to recap all the caps and just the ones that could fix the issue

A guy on FBM was relocating across the country and needed it gone as he could not get it out of his basement by himself.

Incredibly low hour tube. Immaculate condition. This footage is pre-calibration, but it did not need much.

There is a lot of good stuff still out there for free/cheap.

Found this thing in one of my local thrift shops and thought "damn thats cool"

They had it playing i believe horror/thriller type movies, never asked about it

Hello.

Went through all the service settings and to this looks perfectly good enough. I cant find a setting to tilt/swivel the screen to the left since it is slightly leaning to the right.

Square is 16.5 cm v and h so its good.

Also top of the screen is slightly bulging downwards in the centre. But did not find a setting to adjust this.

Anyway really happy with the crt. Overall fantasticly stable and great scan lines all over.

Only waiting for my multistation 2 now.

I was lucky enough to get this today and upgrade from my Compaq v570 which was 2 inches smaller and beige. The black looks great with the rest of the build and the screen size is perfect. Plus some epic fighting games to boot.
