Why Do I Still Have a CRT TV?

[@Big.Joe.Grizzly]

Jesus christ im like 90% sure i used to have that exact beko tv many years ago. I remember those buttons exactly like that. You just unlocked old memories in my brain wow

[@nicholasoconnell7732]

Ugh I don’t think we had that brand here in the states. I remember we had a Sharp, because as a kid I was always picking at the letters on the TV, and my dad would come beat my ass

[@R3TROSKULL]

I know i did

Crt image quality is usually preferred for two main reasons. 1. Aspect ratio being 4:3 by default, no stretched image or black space on the screen. 2. Minimal or non existence input latency.

[@zecabone3850]

Obv depends on a lot of stuff

[@zecabone3850]

CRT TVs do not have the advantage of zero latency, that would require a monitor with analog in, and nearly all modern games are designed with 16:9 in mind. Plus, you'll get more latency from the console itself, so it really doesn't matter all that much. Pretty much no modern hardware supports analog out anyway, so you'd need an active adapter.

[@PoutingTrevor]

It's the same reason I still have a CRT. I also really like the light gun games on PS3 using PS Move.

[@lewisgrant7622]

It’s just facts that retro games from say the 80s or late 90s those tvs were built for those games

[@LITTLE1994]

Also '70s

[@koolaid33]

This is why I want one.

[@ertuncdelikaya8237]

Beko is a Turkish major appliance and consumer electronics brand. As a Turk, I'm kind of surprised to see an old Beko TV in a British guy's room.

Retro lizard released a 128gb batocera light gun build that works for sinden and gun4ir with no setup. About half the games on the build work which is roughly 75-100 working. The others wont seem to start but may need tweaking inside the settings. Over half will work from jump street on any lcd display. I use my sinden

[@LITTLE1994]

I still have my CRT, solely for retrogaming.

[@draculaman]

Some LCD solutions are getting better now, and close to feeling identical to CRT Lightguns. The Sinden is pretty good if you get it set up properly, and the Gun4IR is even better, al beit both can be pretty expensive

[@Warp2090]

Crt's still last longer and are much cooler and better looking than a lcd

[@usb6000]

I have a CRT specifically for some games use some trickery for shadows it comes out all wrong on a LCD or OLED.

[@Warp2090]

crt's also last way longer and are cooler

[@absalomdraconis]

I *think* the NES games don't actually require a CRT (you could just point the gun at a bulb and register a hit). For other systems you're right.

[@yusofplayed]

Original time crisis and point blank. This is a man with exquisite taste.

[@Mlaboratories15]

Well, when old CRT actually produces a picture a lot more faster than a modern day TV a line is going across the TV at insane speed which is basically impossible to be seen by the naked eye so when you press the button, the TV will pick that up instantly but a modern TV it takes a nanosecond so CRT TVs are better than modern day TVs

[@InfiniteGameReviews]

Also this: Many consoles connect via scart cable and most modern TVs don't even have one such connector.

[@wolftickets1969]

Old school games also don't have input lag on CRTs, unlike modern flat screens.

[@PLUG313x]

I always thought those guns were placebo and they didn't work 😂😂 and I had one

[@aspinia]

exactly, lightgun games need a crt tv or crt monitor to work, I heard that some crt monitor are not comparible with lightguns, oh, where can I fin a multi lightgun for ps1/xbox/saturn? the one I had was madkatz but the trigger just broke playing house of the dead III for the first xbox

[@arky3000]

you can buy lightgun adaptors to convert them to newer screens

[@ElricSowrd]

I never got a Light Gun for these games.

[@BlindGuardian050]

Mostly nostalgia but it does have some uses compared to flatscreens

[@MrBroskiful]

What about sinden for lightgun games on modern tvd

[@RetroDodo]

We actually recently did a full video where we took a look at the Sinden! It's an awesome alternative for sure but it doesn't quite replace the actual hardware (at least not yet). - Rob

[@borntoclimb7116]

The tv looks cool

[@raihanfarrelofficial]

You forgot Virtua Cop & House Of The Dead

[@turboterminator7]

Why do I still have loads of crts 👍👍

[@smasherjosh5000]

I have seen your CRT on eBay for £50

[@draganzikicbot]

I HAVE THIS

[@MrStrangermoon]

turkish tv beko.

[@lien666-b7t]

Too small tv not good for light gun

[@ghostcat8244]

Even ps2 games look better or some Xbox 360 game titles. Like even guitar hero 2 looks better on crt especially able to hit notes correctly

[@Azure.Modded]

Yoo i’m first

[@summersendband]

I have the exact same TV - from Grundig 😂

[@pietrocr7]

point blank my fav game ever

[@Buckincrazy]

House of the dead overkill on the Wii (chefs kiss 🤌)
