Hooked up to tv...

The Xbox is softmodded and the video is set to 480i non-widescreen. Any idea why it might not be outputting? What I see is the intended output on my 4k tv, but the CRT is a 45° slanted, scrolling, monochrome image that’s heavily warped. My first though was that the softmod had something to do with it, but I’ve seen this...

I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I’d like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one’s surprise) it didn’t work. I used Nvidia’s custom resolution to use...

like it says on the tin, I’ve read up on the safety tips and have a pretty modern set (FD trinitron KV-13FS100) so I’m knowing that reduces my risk too as those are supposed to discharge faster naturally (and I’m already planning on leaving it unplugged for at least a day)....

Heard about these on the CRT Podcast by RetroTech and ZezRetro. Seems insane, I’m really curious about them....

Hey guys! Just a quick snapshot to generate some content in here :) I’m really glad that this community found a new home over here on Lemmy as well. I hope to see many interesting posts and cool pics!

I love this video and how it reveals how displays work, it’s really enlightening if you’re interested in understand a bit of why CRTs look great for old games!

With the large number CRTs in the wild from decades of mainstream production, and how much of an ordeal they can be to collect, it’s easy to see how this hobby can turn into a cargo cult. People gravitate towards what brands they trust, and you get some like Trinitrons and D-Series that are always getting hyped up....

Aquarium stands are designed to support hundreds of pounds of weight, and they're large enough for most CRTs to fit comfortably....

Love this little guy! Clear picture, very little CRT whine, super adjustable, and excellent scanlines. Just an adorable and beautiful little PVM.

I have tinnitus and could never stand CRT whine. But I'd like to get one for classic gaming if there was such a thing as a silent crt.

My wife got me this silly little plastics phone holder thing because it looks like an old CRT and she thinks it’s silly that I love them so much.

I figured folks who are exploring both Kbin and Lemmy might enjoy subbing to both to get a mix of fediverse CRT love!

Gotta love a nice macro shot of some scanlines.

This 32” beast of a trinitron has been RGB modded and accepts composite, S-video, and of course RGB. Geometry isn’t perfect, but it’s close enough to sit back and enjoy!
