If you really want a big, high-refresh CRT, look for the HP p1230. It has pretty much the same guts as the Sony presented above, but it can do much higher resolutions and refresh rates.(h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00355202) I have one of these beasts and it can do 2048x1536 at 85Hz. Or if you find that resolution is too high, it can do 1600x1200 at 120 Hz! The only downside (not mentioned in the video, BTW) is that it uses about as much power as a gaming PC. And after about an hour of staring into it you'll want to gouge your eyes out. But the insane refresh rate is totally worth it.

I didn't realize how much I missed the sound of a CRT turning on

CRT technology is still superior to LCD and Plasma in a number of ways. The fact it can handle a multitude of resolutions without any form of upscaling needed, the complete lack of input latency and on top of that it has perfect motion resolution. Talk about perfect gaming tech. The drawback is the size, weight, life span and price to manufacture which is why it was ditched for the cheaper LCD tech. Only now since around 2014 companies like Sony are catching up to CRT technology with super low latency panels coupled to BFI strobing technology offering some of the benefits of the mighty CRT.

Sony Trinitron Well from my own experience I've found CRT to have a poor lifespan overall, there's a lot of things that can degrade due to the magnetism (if you don't have a degause function) so picture quality and geometry also suffers over time. They can also be quite volatile and I've known a few poeple who have had their tube implode and catch fire to the house. I've really only owned mid to higher end LCD and I would say flourescent backlight is on par with a tube for lifespan but LED edge or backlit is far superior.

I have never owned an LCD, I'm still using a 19" CRT and it's great. Just make sure the colors are calibrated and the geometry is all worked out for each resolution. I'll upgrade when I can get reasonable priced ($300) 27-30" 1440p high refresh OLED. 1400x1050@85hz is a good resolution for 19". Sometimes I run 1600x1200@75hz or lower resolutions at 100 or 140hz.

I met artists who still use CRT because of the color reproduction is more faithful to what they'll get when printing something.

People think the old farts are just being negative about the technology of today, but CRT's were truely superior, in nearly every way, except how easy it is on the eyes. For office workers, LCD's were a blessing, no more 60hz flicker headaches. Of course, CRT's addressed that issue with a higher refresh rate, and THIS is the exact reasoning behind the refresh rate craze, and why more was always better. Most good CRT's were 85-120hz, since a lot of people had problems with 60hz flicker. Response time on CRT's is decided by the length of the monitor cable, and is basically 0. The colors depend heavily on the monitor, but CRT's have a natural problem with their brightness fading over time. So most CRT's you find today suffer from tube age, and are not very bright, causing dark scenes to be a problem. Dimming brightness is solely an issue with the ceasing of manufacturing of CRT monitors tho, since when they begin dimming, it was normally time to replace them.

+Richard Smith Exactly the issue with mine. I need to amplify the RGB signals one way or another to get a proper gamma (and brightness) off of my LG T710PU. I'm very sad about it and there's unfortunately nothing much I can do about it... Maybe replace the flyback but that wouldn't help against aging of the tube itself, and most of CRT production has ceased around 2011. I know Sony still makes some CRTs, but those are for hospitals and they're more like PVMs rather than computer monitors.

***** The issue with phosphers was not an issue in the absorption to emission time, but the decay time of the emission. This could cause ghosting and color bleeding. It was the off time which had a potential for delay, not the on time. I pointed out the cable length was the bottleneck in jest, to point out that response time was not even a consideration. That was meant as a joke. It was a non-issue. The issue comes in due to digital decoding, which although does allow for precise pixel perfect pictures, it introduces inherit latency since those signals must be processed.

HappyBeezerStudios Problem is that where I live in Canada its pretty hard to find a tube screen at all, all I see on local classifieds like Kijiji are expensive as f*** monitors, and while I would love to have a 24 inch professional grade CRT for gaming, 2000 dollars is kinda bit too much for me even if I had a job.

Love your channel! Keep up the good work!! I'm inspired

that sound of crt turning on made me cry a little bit , its amazing what nostalgia dose to you .

I have loved this channel from beginning to end. it's been here for me and has always cheered me up. I myself have been subbed since about 92 subs, and boy have you come a long way. I love the chilled out style and that Australian accent. well done GHG. very well done indeed.

CRTs aren't bad at all. Most websites don't use the extra horizontal space of 16:9, the lower resolution means you can play games at max with low-end GPUs and scaled content doesn't look as ugly as it looks on a modern monitor.

Now if only they made 16:9 CRTs... That’d be so cool as a lot of games are built for 16:9 these days...

+GameCheetah I much prefer this style as it reminds me of how TV and video used to be pre-2000, before the current modern videos where people shout and bawl in a constant stream of words, fired into your ears like a machine gun while cheap vulgar moronic music is pounded at your senses? The mute button is the most used button on any remote control I use, and that can become tiresome. So I now use a good compressor / limiter to tame the overly aggressive audio on most broadcasts.

your camera work and editing are fantastic

Casi me hace llorar, me hiciste sentir viejo y buscar donde tengo mi viejo compu, gracias por subir este video.

I've totally been thinking about dragging the old one out fromt he garage for a long time and thenthis video comes out! I'm serious, GHG, your mind is just like mine or you can read it across the world. Anyways I think CRTs are awesome because they look sharp at almost any resolution

I keep rewatching this video just to relive the sensation

I have to say, I wish you'd pointed out at some point that the flicker seen in the video is not apparent to the naked eye.

Seeing this video in 2022. Now CRT are not cheap anymore...

Damn, what a great choice of music for this video! I love True Romance and it's score!

Him saying is "2016" made me realize it's been a while since I've remembered what's it like to be a kid. Damn I was starting my senior year of high school at the time. This video brought me back to a time of no worries for sure.

im using a crt right now. it has 85hz refresh rate and thats sooooo smooth! i dont like using 60hz monitors now. just played a few hours of simcity (2013) on it at 1024x768 and another bonus is at that resolution it extends the life of the graphics card. but its only a 17" and its not widescreen so its good and bad. maybe crt's will make a comeback in the pc gaming market, i hope so. they might, lots of money to be made on the nostalgic gamers out there

Many memories

love your videos dude!

Not really. Under 40 watts for a 17" CRT Sony monitor I have. Under 80 watts for a 30" 16:9 HD CRT Toshiba. Both measured with a kill-a-watt power meter. Your PC likely uses more than both.

Did I see BNC RGB connectors on the back? I still have my first 17" CRT. ViewSonic with the BNC connectors. Though I never could find a cable for it when I wanted it, I understand it is supposed to make the picture that much better.

Why dosent this channel have more views? It's so comfy and well edited.

Watching GHG's videos gives me such a nostalgic feel, like if I was in the 1980's beacuse of his tech and old school stuff
