Hi, this video attempts to find out if CRT televisions really are better for gaming on older consoles such as the GameCube, Xbox, PS2, PSP,Wii. The TVs used are a CRT TV, 1080p TV a 1080p Monitor and a 4K TV. Many thanks Vince

Anthelion Gaming thx also we have thankfully the kinda considerably high on the scale of how high end exactly ours is but its still a CRT but both its able to go up to 1080i notice its the Sony KV32-HV600 WEGA (pronounced "VAY-GAH" aka its V-AYE-GAH) *NOTICE:* to clarify the level of how far up on a scale for how advanced then its just the "HI-SCAN" category so full HD CRT Twp component video inputs four total composite or three of those can be S-Video either but also one "monitor out" composite output both audio/video for intended use of recording on VCR etc but also there is an option to use it with one "input/video7/seven" which is DVI or (Digital Video Interface)

I agree with the reviewer about the text, but to my eyes everything had better color on the monitor than the 4K. Also, I could still clearly make out the text even on the 4K. The 1080p even looked bad compared to the monitor and 4K but still far better color than the CRT. The CRT to me always came last in color, though it always had the best latency I guess is the word for it in those tests. Most gaming monitors now though have 120-144hz in refresh rate making them match even the best CRTs in refresh rate. I guess it comes down to refresh rate/lag vs. color. Since I mostly play one player games I'll take color and how good the picture looks everytime.

You kinda mentioned it in the beginning, but one thing to keep in mind is that if you're using a CRT with component cables, you're going to be getting the best picture. Things like the sony trinitron around 03' had component (some even had multiple) and if you change the settings in things like the ps2 to output in 480, you're gonna see an incredible picture that I don't think you'll get when using an HDMI adapter. I can see the idea of a monitor being similar, but they were designed for that CRT, and if you're using component or S - Video, you'll see that enhanced beautifully.

I also have a Wii that I occasionally connect, but usually it stays on the family TV, which is a plasma. I do have to say though, I’ve connected them all to the plasma, an LCD, and my CRT, and they look best on the CRT. They were built at a time when CRT was the standard, so they were designed to be used on CRTs.

If I were you, I would check my local Craigslist (or whatever it is over in your country, I don't know given that I'm in the US) and see what you could find there. If nothing else, you can get a SCART adapter to use with an HD display but it wouldn't look as good as a CRT.

@andrewmarshall11426 жыл бұрын
Tom Junior The only real way to make it look decent on a modern display is to use component cables (or RGB SCART) and an HDMI converter, but that still wouldn't look as good as a CRT. To get truly good quality on an FHD monitor you would need a good upscaler, which usually runs anywhere from $100-$300 here in the US. I still recommend a CRT but if that isn't feasible do some research on good converters and an upscaler.

Cool video! :) It's helpful for the most important when it comes to older consoles! Pixel and upscaling comparison. But for a better picture comparison, every monitor/TV should have their picture setting trying to visually match at least brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. For exemple, your CRT TV is too washed out and the monitor is too saturated. Every TV are also with sharpness differences, that are visible on the letters for instance.

#1. Get component cables. #2. Use a smaller 32" or less HDTV screen. It doesn't help to use a 55" HDTV. #3. Set the component source for 4:3 RATIO (not 16:9). Do not use widescreen or full screen as it will stretch out the picture. Even if the games support both 16:9 and 4:3, pick the 4:3 ratio as it will look better. The smaller the television and the smaller the display the better it will look. #4. The 480p compatible games look better. For PS2, hold x and triangle during load up screen and apply progressive scan (480p). Some people use component cables, never changed their game to progressive scan (480p) and are using standard definition display and later complain about the component cable's picture quality. Some games like Tekken 5 may display options in their menu and can put out higher 525p. There are many PS2 games that support 480p. PS2 games that support 480p will look better but there are many games that don't support 420p and look good like Def Jam: Fight For NY.

Thanks for doing that To really drive the point home, I've seen this with iPad promotion 120hz vs regular iPad screen, slow motion camera, you can really see the difference It's important with modern TVs now Thanks for doing this I have 3008wfp Dell ultra sharp, Still thinking of getting a tv, full HD 1080p But there are many factors I have a softmod ps2 with a hard drive So it's kinda something I'm looking into

@oj Cruz Thanks for your opinion man!! What you say is quite interesting! 😉👍 And what do you prefer between a PS2 in a CRT with composite cables and a PS2 in a LED with component cables?
@JackoMoonwalker5 жыл бұрын
@oj Cruz Oh, I see. And did you feel there was too much lag playing on a LED with a PS2 or Wii? 'Cause that's the main problem with these new models. I don't know if the lag is the same in all classic consoles or is different in each one..

I think you really have to be playing these older consoles via a SCART connection when running them on a CRT TV, which was the best connection for consumer CRT TVs that was available at the time as far as I'm aware, at least in the UK, and certainly the one I used wherever possible, or else you're not doing it right imo. And I also think you should just stick to playing on newer TVs via HDMI whenever possible since that's what they are built around, and not using that connection isn't doing the new display full justice either. If you play via SCART on the CRT TV and HDMI on the new HDTV, comparing the best version of each picture available to normal consumers on these consoles running on the different displays, so you can show them off in their best light and do them full justice, then it will be a truly fair and telling comparison imo. And, just to be clear, I think the CRT TV will utterly wipe the floor with the HDTVs in such as case (especially if you can get your hands on an HD capable CRT TV, because obviously it's kinda impossible to properly downscale a game made for really high resolutions to a screen that can't even run at that resolution and not lose a whole lot of detail). But, if you're running actual old consoles, like a NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PS1, etc, through a CRT TV and SCART it will utterly destroy trying to upscale them and run them on whatever modern TV you choose, even if you use various conversion boxes and whatever other crap, which usually only make them output sharp but lose everything else that is needed to make them actually look right, and indeed run without any lag whatsoever. These guys have a great video for showing how good modern games can look when run through a proper CRT TV that's actually capable of supporting them properly: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ5yibd53cmYfIE.html

I know this is 4 years old but I'd also like to add it's great that used composite as despite it having the worst image quality cable wise it's what all these consoles came with and generally still do :) I'd also like to add with the Nintendo GameCube at least the UK model supports RGB scart :)

If you put the video in 0.25x, at 14:56 you can also see that the CRT has a few milliseconds of faster response time than the 1080p monitor. Since you can't see the rest, of course it still varies. But also once Vince starts moving the camera a few seconds later you can see that all the other displays look extremely blurred as he moves it but the CRT still retains its clarity when while the camera moves. May not be clear in regular speed, but you see interesting results in slow-mo!

gamerED, huge difference between RGB-scart and RCA since RGB separate the colour, making colorbleed dissappear, it also adds sharpness to the image because of this. On a flatscreen TV with good analog video conversion RGB-svart looks like a slightly blurier VGA image.

Pretty good video. Careful with the CRT choice tho, as iirc all widescreen models were digital, not analog, and so they do the very same upscaling to a lesse extent. They essentially take the 240p signal and interpret it as 480i, which causes some loss of quality and minute lag. The absolute best quality possible for retro pre-xbox era consoles is a Sony PVM or BVM, hooked directly from the RGB feed bypassing the signal conversion entirely. Would cost an arm and a leg tho ^^

The PS2 was a very capable device graphically speaking, But it was a very hard system to develop for. Many developers had to create most of the architecture for all programmable games from scratch (Bare in mind they still did this as the PS2 was so incredibly successful upon its release) But because the Video out put signal on the PS2 is so bizzare for any digital TV to read properly, Its full potential could not properly be understood by the user. The console itself however Could run and be programmed in High definition, You just wouldn't get the chance to see it unless the existing hardware was modified

The way a CRT works, each frame is actually only shown on screen for a fraction of the duration of that frame. It just flashes momentarily each frame and then remains black until the electron gun comes back around for the next frame. LCD displays the frame on screen for the entire duration of the frame, until the frame buffer has all the data it needs to display the next frame. The way our eyes perceive motion, we expect something to be in each location as it moves through space and time to only exist at a given point in space in time for an instant. Not hold still in one position for a 16.6 milliseconds (at 60fps) and then suddenly teleport to a different location for another 16.6ms. This results in us seeing a noticeable amount of motion blur and because of this, CRTs will have 1/3 or less perceivable motion blue when compared to any digital display, be it plasma, LCD, etc at the same frame rate.

The first step you should do before making this kind of test is callibrate the colors of the displays. The monitor is properly calibrated, you can notice better color an warm colors. Both the small and 4k are not calibrated, you can see all the colors are washed out, with a blue tint all over

I haven't even watched the entire video yet, and I can tell you that at 2:32 in this video, the crt tv has the least amount of lag, compared to the two crts beside it. It needs a picture calibration, due to washed out colors, but if that is doable, then the crt wins.
