Man, that 36” Sony is insane. I helped a friend move his 36” Sony out of his 3rd floor apartment many years ago. Unfortunately he took it to Best Buy to have it recycled when he first upgraded to an LCD. I found out a few months after he got rid of it and was mortified

I have a KV-32XBR400 weighing in at around 200 pounds, your TV is roughly 250 pounds insane! When I first purchased it, I still live with my parents and my bedroom was on the second floor. My dad and I broke our backs bringing it up to my room and I told myself I’d never do that again. Eventually it stopped working and recycled the TV, but then one day I saw a craigslist ad for a free Nintendo Wii. Found out that to take the Wii I had to take a few other items, or no deal. Well, one of the other items was a Sony TV, the exact same model I bought back in 1999. I was so happy that I got a working exact replacement to the broken Sony TV, still works great today.

The old wooden console sets have always been my favorite. Reminds me of my grandparents' house. They used the same 25" Zenith for decades, and it belonged to my great grandma before that. I still remember the mess of different adapters my grandpa had rigged up so they could connect their satellite box to it.

I only have room for 1 CRT, so I rigged up all my consoles to work on a single CRT at the same time using 3 mechanical switchers

Crazy. I find it difficult to play one console at a time let alone all of them at the same time

What a cozy and badass room, I wish I could dedicate a whole room just for my games and CRTs but I can't so I only have 3 CRTs throughout the house, still I'm pretty content with them, I have a SD Sony VVEGA manufactured in October of 2008 one of the last made with less than a 100hrs of use, it was from my grandparents (I guard it with my life), and one of those Widescreen Sonys which is what I use all the time to play stuff including modern games and I also have a 38" LG FLATRON which was our family TV made in 2002 and is massive and awesome, what I do have a ton nowadays is CRT PC monitors which I love collecting and since they don't take too much space I can have many, they offer very high resolutions and refresh rates and great picture quality that still blows LCDs out of the water, the only thing coming close to them is my new 4K OLED monitor but for old 3D games nothing beats them, PC games look awesome and console games through an emulator running them at 4K internal resolution makes them look like modern games, it sucks to think that someday these CRTs are going to die, nothing can truly replace them but at least we still have the chance to enjoy them.

I kept a 20" Panasonic from when I was a kid, kept it for the memories and it's awesome to play the one I grew up with. Nostalgia galore.

this is such an amazing vibe. i was born in 2000 so by the time i was a bit older and started really getting into technology and playing video games and stuff, i didn't really use CRT's that long before flat screens became a thing so i don't really have any nostalgia for them. but i would absolutely love to be in a room like this and sit back and play some older consoles on a CRT

I had a 27 inch Wega from around 2002 or 2003, growing up. I think the weight on it was 160 or 180 lbs, difficult to remember exactly, but they are heavy. All CRT TVs have some heft but the Sonys in particular were built different, no joke moving those around.

you are 100% correct in thinking that old game consoles are best played on CRTs. And there's a good reason for that: the game assets were designed expressly to take advantage of some of the characteristics and deficiencies of CRT technology in order to produce an image that has more detail or could be made on a console that couldn't otherwise produce such effects if it had to be rendered properly. Translucency and certain lighting effects being made with dithering is one example while sub-pixel rendering is another. Basically, sprites and low polygon models tend to look better on a CRT due to natural anti-aliasing combined with the way that colors tend to smear slightly between phosphor groups as the electron beam sweeps past. There have been videos and articles about it where they show what the console is outputting compared to how it looks on a CRT and the difference is startling. It's why the old 16 and 32-bit games look like trash compared to how you remember them looking on a CRT. It's also why a lot of gamers who really love that particular generation of console but also have newer consoles capable of outputting 720p/1080i will just have two CRTs (or more) in their collection so they can take more advantage of how the art assets were designed to take advantage of standard definition CRT displays. Honestly, given that CRTs are a finite resource and a consumable one, if you've got the space then there's no shame in hoarding as many good examples as you can find while they're still available and not horrendously expensive. Most people nowadays just don't understand their appeal, and that's a good thing for retro game enthusiasts. I still want to buy a 720p/1080i model to use with my GTX960 with a DVI to component cable for gaming. There's just an aesthetic to how CRTs render images that appeals to me. It's less like looking at a moving picture and more like looking through a window. Unfortunately, I have no space.

Thank you for taking the time and sharing the knowledge in this video, amazing collection and great information for newbies like me, also u throw me back to those days when we used to play in our friend houses those great games like Halo 3 didn't know it exist something like that split screen it would be a amazing having a game night in your basement congratulations with the collection :)

If only they made CRT's for like 5 more years... Like the shallow-depth sets Samsung were pioneering in the mid 00's. Imagine multiscan 240p to 1080p 16:9 sets, with 1920 actual TVL resolution, going all the way up to 2160i... Just imagine if these were common place, up to sizes of say 45"... What a dream.... Little do people know, it's not just the motion, multiple resolution support amd contrast that make these the ultimate, but it's also their unsurpassed light quality (CRI) of 90+. Reference is CRI 100 (sunlight). Plasma was 70+, LCD 50+, QD/OLED 40+, microLED 30+.... It just keeps getting worse because of energy efficiency pressures and woder colour gamut rubbish. Artificial light will always look harsh and unnatural. Garbage in garbage out. To this day CRT still produces the most natural light and colour and only future upmap-dithering can possibly mitigate this perceptibly. My guess is that display manufacturer shot callers made the decision to kill off their CRT production just as the tech was becoming more feasible for true HD widescreen, because they knew it would kill the market adoption of disgusting LCD's where obscenely increased profit margins were to be had. My thoughts

@@theantiveganchannel3596 Yes, for example a Bravia 40W5500. Great CCFL TV. Plasma's are even cheaper. I have 2, one was 30€, the other one 0€. Just make sure it is a Panasonic. LG's are really bad. My Panasonic plasma's are really amazing, even more stunning than the 40W5500, but the LCD is suitable for computer use (browsing and such), on a plasma you get nuts of the flicker, which is just like a CRT: if you run a plasma on 24p for a movie, and leave it like that, then browsing is a nightmare. On 60Hz it is doable, but an LCD has the edge here, with sample-and-hold, and a backlight running at like 10000Hz.

Spoilt for choice! Like the decor too, vibing. Having got one myself, I would recommend you try getting a Loewe Planus (or Aconda) with the VGA port (if its not installed, there are aftermarket 3rd party versions available to install). In Europe/Aus, the tv is "limited" to 480p, but i have read that in North America they are 1080i. (not sure if that is so via VGA) Nonetheless, i have my Planus connected to my Nintendo Switch and PC via its VGA port and they look amazing! You get an aliasing free image, rich colour and its 60hz lag free; yes via the VGA port they bypass the processing and spit out a 60hz image! (these sets are 100hz models). Pairing the device with a scaler (im using the Crestron HD-scaler) to connect my HDMI devices to the TV with no noticable lag. Playing Zelda TotK start to finish, and looking forward to Super Mario RPG remake! Also, watching any widescreen content, especially sports via your streaming subscription is just amazing.

I was fortunate to found one since yesterday, it was standing around in my neighborhood. Fortunately, it was in good condition.

Without watching the video I would say my preferred CRT form factor is the traditional 4:3 cylindrical Trinitron. Better than the "fishbowl", but not flat enough to feel too 2000s for 5th gen gaming and older but still looks great with 6th gen. I get the praise that the flat sets tend to get but it's not for me when it comes to playing SNES/N64 and such. The magic just isn't quite there. The fishbowl TV I find it to be a good experience for light gun games and is my favourite type of TV to use for light gun games (at the larger sizes).

Makes me appreciate the days of gaming where you could just pop in a disc and not have to sign into an account, connect to PSN, go through the dashboard to choose your game...I miss how simple it was back in the PS2 days and before

still to this day every time i go outside see one of my nieghbors i say " HIDY HO NEIGHBOR" and peek over my privacy fence lol i cant help myself

My Trinitron is KV - 32FS100 made in February 2004, it looks and sound fantastic.

if you adjust your shutter speed you can film crts, idk what speed but something to look into. Nice vid :)

Hey thanks for the tip I wasn't aware of this!

awesome collection dude. are either of the Sony KV-27FS120 or the Sony KV-36FS13 good for gaming?

I remember seeing the gx tv advertised on mtv. If i remember right it was marketed to gamers. Can probably find the commercial on youtube.

0:37 I used to have a little baby tuner tv (the white one) like that next to my bed when I was little.

You Sir, are the real deal! 🏆 📺

@@theconsolecollector Yeah I like this one cause it's on wheels I have everything running through RF to AV Switchers there's scanlines I took the back panel off one day and there's no wires going to the AV ports

bro... I'm so jealous of your CRTs

Hey look, it's a 90's electronics store! Mooooom...

An old friend had a Samsung CRT that had a HDMI port these things are super rare though as at the time most people who were in the market favoured LCD TV's

I still have that 30' Sony Trinitron. I've had it since forever.

We had Sony WEGA’s at home and I miss them dearly.

Wow thank you that means alot!

Dude. I found the same Toshiba TV and a Sony Trinitron within a block of each other as this small town has a recycling event where everyone’s tossing their old CRT TV’s out right now. I found both and looked them both up and somehow got them both home. I hope they are working cuz it rained last weekend and these have been outside for several days

All I care about is that the CRT TV has all video options and not wide-screen. Composite, S-Video and Component is a must for me so I can hook up x3 systems to 1 TV.

I miss those TV's so much!

I've been looking for a sony 510 in my area forever now and can't seem to get my hands on one. Great collection though! 👌

Thank you I appreciate that. Keep your eyes open on your local listings one may pop up when you least expect it!

Super envious of some of your sets. I kept all of my old consoles, but regret losing my old crts. I have a two SD Trinitrons but I'm not sure I'm getting the best picture out of them, and I'm too afraid to open them up. I have a 27FV300 and you spoke kindly about your own FV300 so I'm feeling pretty good about it now, so thank you. Do you service your own crts?

if you're going to poke around inside of a CRT, just remember to get an appropriate tool or combination of tools to adequately short the high voltage anode plug on the tube so you can discharge it. Also avoid touching any of the large capacitors until you can confirm that it has a resistor in the circuit to bleed them off. Capacitors can sometimes hold a charge for a lot longer than you'd expect, though a lot of more modern sets include bleed resistors in their circuits so the capacitors can be drained after a few minutes to hours of being unplugged. If you intend to do any adjustments while it's powered on, like it would need to be for any of the focus and alignment ring adjustments or any of the intensity and keystone adjustments using the pots on the control board, then you're just going to have to accept the risk and try to avoid touching anything while you're grounded. You could also use plastic tools to help mitigate risk to yourself. There's a surprising amount of resources on youtube about basic CRT servicing.
