i miss the CRT buzz only i could hear...

I can see it now. CRT's are going to be the new hipster thing, like vinyl records.

My school has a HDMI port on their 1080p crt and I want it.

I have always enjoyed CRTs. They have been a huge part of me; I still remember playing PS2 games on them.

Yo dawg, thanks for showing me the quality of your CRT on my LED display. What I'm looking at on my display is much better than my display can display.

I first saw this video back when it was initially uploaded, and after all these years I finally have my own hd crt! it's incredibly vibrant, and 720p/1080i content looks amazing on it. I've got my xbox 360 and nintendo switch hooked up atm and they're perfect for this thing

I must say, this is one of the best channels that I have come across in a long time. Every video has its own warmth and I feel welcomed in for a good time. You deserve much more credit for your work than you deserve. GHG thank you.

This might be my favorite crt tv video, i love it! Thanks for making this video so good! Not to mention you've got the best Sony Holy Grail SuperFinePitch widescreen awesome dark grey speckled case too.

I find myself re watching all green hams vids over and over until a new one is released

I love watching the first Alien movie on my CRT! It's a transitive nearly spiritual experience as the waves of electrons fired one by one dance to a low electric hum. The comfortable warm glow of phosphorescent pixels like soft moonlight dancing through the shadows around me.

I love these things. They are beautiful. And I use my old one for retro gaming, and watching VHSs, but honestly if there are HD CRTs then I might as well buy one to use as my normal TV.

Your channel and videos completely speaksto my own inner passion and appreciation of older tech that still has a lot to offer.

My dad threw out a 30" Thomson CRT, it was 1080i too. What a stupid decision...

Convinced me to buy a CRT off craigslist. Thanks GHG! I have ascended to the CRT Master Race.

All the TVs I've had except two of them were old boxy CRTs, and when I think of it now, I feel kinda bad that we don't use stuff like this anymore. My granny had a 90s big screen tv that my family had in the living room for a little while. And I'm 15 years old, and I'm one of only very few in my generation who know what the hell a CRT is. It's a beautiful entertainment source.

I can really tell you put your heart & soul into these videos, I love it man

I hated lugging these damned things around...but man they sure last a loooong time! Hell, even the monster tube TV's built inside a wooden frame from friggin' 50's and 60's still work to this day. Now you get yourself a fancy LCD/LED TV, you're lucky if you have it for 5-8 years. Fuck planned obsolescence!

To be fair, Wes Anderson movies look good on any TV.

All this talk about nostalgia and you play The Sims music lol Love it. Your whole channel is really full of soul.

I have a Samsung LCD TV with an amazing display, but MAN...glad i kept my CRT! The depth is unreal!

If CRT were still developed no panel could came even close.

I really want one of these televisions, but they are hard to come by these days! Great video, I like the poem you did at the beginning!

I love both kinds of effects but I can’t argue on this TV you have these practical films looking great.

The ever growing, competitive Super Smash Bros Melee scene relies on these beautiful CRT's. They are better than any other 4k monitor.

I love how you use the building music from the original Sims game

2020, and I still have 3 CRTs and plan on getting even more

I remember seeing this video back in 2018 and now looking back at this, it makes me want one of those CRTs you had since I find something like that beast of a Sony Wega HD widescreen so classic and special now that it comes to me.

I still use a crt tv.and one of my computers uses a crt monitor and I love it, its much better than a flat panel computer monitor

My reason to prefer CRT TVs is because of how retro games, more specifically 16 bit games look on CRT TVs compared to LCD or LED screens, the colours look better on CRTs, they usually look all either washed out or blown out on LCD/LED screens, there's often a loss of colour in said screens as well, but the colour is only one of the reasons, retro games on modern TVs also tend to look blocky and not as good as I remember, on a CRT screen the inherent blurriness tends to smooth out the rough edges and give that unique retro-game look that I love a whole lot but will most likely never be replicated (no, Indie games more often than not DON'T capture the look of retro games faithfully) But the worst offender is not the look, but the input lag and the lack of compatibility with light guns in modern LCD or LED screens, and even in HD CRTs... With all of that in mind, I much prefer my gameplay on a Standard Definition CRT TV, they're the best for the kinds of games that I enjoy the most...

i stopped using crt like 2 years ago when oled came, it was enough for me to make the switch.

Cool idea for the Dolly effect in the camera, I like the Sims music here, and also great TV CRT will always be my favorite!

I like the noise and that high pressure feeling you get in your head when you go behind one while it's on haha

because an lcd monitor wont be there for you when you come home

The last CRT TV I had was an iLo DTV2794. It was able to get digital channels (ATSC) over the air, but even though it took HDTV signals, they were down-converted and cropped to fit the square 4:3 display. These days, I have a 720p Dynex LCD TV. That also doubles as a PC monitor, and even has HDMI.

Lov the vid, it took me back to posibly the best time i ever had in video gaming, I had forty inch sony hd years ago, a KV something with a sega saturn, then I purchased a dreamcast and I was blown away by the depth. thay don't make them like that anymore. again thanx.o7

As an 18 year old (1998) who was born at the end of the 90's, my obsession with light gun games (like Time Crisis, HoTD, and Virtua Cop) will always keep my interest peaked in these beasts. What you said at the beginning of the video was spot on, it comes from an age with less nuance and worry, and reminds us of the simplicity of life, and technology at the same end. Thanks GHG for reminding me of better times. Running MAME and an IR LCD "Light gun" will never compare to using an old CRT in the wee hours of the morning to play Time Crisis 2 on a PlayStation 2.

Watching Kung Fury on this bad boy would be a blast.

Have three of the best hd crt's of all time myself. A Sony XBR 960. A Loewe Aconda 38". And a Panasonic AT H3015w broadcast monitor. They are truly amazing, especially when the service menu and normal menu settings and the screen and focus dials/knobs are perfectly set. Regular degaussing via a large degaussing coil is also a big boon. The only great hd crt's that I believe I do not yet have are a Sony BVM D32E1WU or A32E1WU, and a Loewe Aconda 30" flatscreen. I have two of them hooked up to PC's via Extron scalers and they handle movies and games so damn well, and they do not get blurry up close like lcd's do.

Seeing this makes me miss my last HD CRT, a 27" Toshiba. It too did 1080i (but not 720p) and was a 4:3 aspect ratio but it was a great TV for my PS2/Xbox/GameCube days. Sadly it was making a very loud hissing sound as it got older and I had to retire it over time. But now that I look back towards the days of classic gaming, I wish I never did that. Thanks for the memories.

It's beautiful. I cry at the sight of this glory.

"They never seem to give up", well my first philips 26" unit didn't which is a shame because the speakers were incredible. nontheless it was going to the dump anyway and I got at least a month or 2 of enjoyment out of it while it was on its last legs. Also it's good to see I'm not the only one that notices the benifits of using a CRT for video playback, most other videos on the subject matter focus purely on the gaming aspect.

You forgot to elaborate on how the majority of all CRT sets also have vastly superior audio to speakers on even the most high-end LCD/LED sets ever made. This is thanks to the CRT's front-to-back size, allowing for enormous speaker drivers. I've never heard a LCD/LED ever come close in audio quality to a CRT because a flat-panel is just that: flat. XD I'm gonna need to buy a soundbar for my 2012 37" Vizio E371VL 1080p LCD HDTV.... While on the other hand, my parents' 1988 27" JVC 480i CRT TV already has spectacular sound, particularly in the bass department.

Your particular selection of ice cream flavor was impeccable. Well done.

I need to confess that your video editing is great. Congrats. :D

My Sony Trinitron is just a part of my life and when that amazing bulky beast dies a part of me will go missing Long live CRTs! The most neglected amazing piece of tech!

Playing sims one build mode music in the background. i knew it without looking in the description

4k 3d is things i dreamed of while watching my old hard to see CRT tv, Never seen a hd CRT so i cant say to much, But i do remember seeing my 1st flat screen hd tv and it was amazing.

Awesome man, thought i was the only aussie that loves crts, ive got about 5 of them and saved most of them from the roadside just before it started raining, they have scart comp and s video which is why i love them so much

Make a "Cuphead on an HD-CRT" Video, please!

This guy has the most convincing and relaxing voice on KZfaq. Which is why I subscribed. I do want more videos more often though, its like a lallabye when I watch your videos.

I'm watching this on my CRT tv right now, and it looks fabulous.

I came here to watch about the TV, and love the Sims 1,My fav game, and when I heard the sims in it i was like wait-what? Love it that you included the awesome soundtrack! Funny enough, I play the Sims 1 Complete Collecton my Windows 98 PC, with a Compaq v700 CRT Monitor. Definitely Subbing!

Thanks for the 45 minute long intro. Totally necessary.

Playing Playstation 1 and N64 is not the same as playing on a PDP / LCD / OLED / I had a newer version (lighter grey 500 pound trinitron) of the TV you have at 1080p, I think the native resolution was the same 1440x1080. I love 120hz 144hz LCD LED monitors- but they still have issues with low resolution content and you will always have contrast issues. You know what I wonder, how would an HDMI upscaler work on a modern HD CRT Television?

CRT monitors have been doing more than HD for a very long time already.

I love the video editing, I've said this in other videos but it is great and unique, no one else (That I have seen) does this!

Of course you had to use the "now their going to eat me" scene xD

I'm still salty that SED tech never made it to market.

Damn that Sims 1 music. I love the music in this game, nowadays I play it only because of it and atmosphere it creates. (and that fantastic drawn graphics)

Liked the video, lookin for a crt for my old gamecube and i enjoyed you enthusiasm. Nice crt by the way.

awesome, new green ham, i wonder what would happen if you could upgrade a dell demension like draynor as much as the hardware would allow

A bit blurry....well, that's full screen antialiasing for free :D

I know you might not read this but I afor your videos, every single one have that nostalgia feeling and I'm loooooving it. The best and most unique experience on youtube by far. Also love your adventures. :) OMG BEN AND JERRY YES!!

I love the colors on CRTs and the Trinitron's are the absolute best. I used to have a beauty on the the very heavy Sun Workstation monitor I had.

haha The Sims music.

Sony Trinatrons where/are the best CRT tubes

Happy to still have a CRT in my lounge. Well, not happy that the LCD that replaced it lasted only a year and a half to finally be replaced back by the big good ol' CRT^-^

This is my dream crt for playing all my retro consoles on.

Wander how much freaking power this thing uses xD

Apparently they still Make CRT HD Monitors with HDMI for professional use! There are ads for them under this video. very expensive.

That Sims music though. :3 God damn, you're throwing me back in time.

I love how he used 2001 a Space Odyssey clips and music, comparing the CRT to the Monolith.

I hope you still own this TV

1:34 to skip the long intro

i have this very same crt and i tried it out yesterday, and i must say it is the best display i have ever used.

I barely ever drink tea, but today I have already drank 2 cups because I've been binge watching your channel.

Getting rid of my lcd tvs now i want that TV CRTs are better than lcds

I am tempted to put a 4k monitor into the body of a CRT.

I have an old CRT projection TV that just bit the dirt a while back. It was HDTV ready and had great picture. What I miss most about it is being able to play 240p devices over component without the TV throwing a fit. It was also fully compatible with the Nintendo Light Gun.

The best thing about CRTs is the power button is satisfying to press because it's big, where as most LCDs have a little button that is hidden underneath or on the side of the TV.

At 1:48, does that cover actually flip out via remote, or was that some sly trick you did off camera?

My big gripe with CRTs is the fucking FLICKERING I can't handle the damn CRT flickering.

The intro with Sprach Zarathustra from 2001 A Space Odyssey is pure class👌

Beautiful video, thank you : )

Darker blacks and better colours can give more depth...but other than that, I think it's just a placebo effect the one you are having :) After all, what makes a great difference is the composition of the shot, the lighting, the depth of field and many other factors that exist in cinematography but not in the tool you are using to watch it. Modern CGI doesn't generally have less depth, it's just that people rarely care about that nowadays. :(

Good tv I had one but the details in HD aren't as clear as a good LCD hd panel.

Sims music ftw! I have an old crt tv in my room. It's an old plywood box much older than me and still working well! I will be keeping it for as long as it works! :D

I just love Green Ham

i own the last model of this version ever made. its the ferrari of crt.

CRT's look good in sense of depth, as you said, but imo OLED TV's are even better; better then LED's, Plasma, CRT. Only proplem is the price of these fuckers.

I remember my grandpa's CRT died. When we went to check it out, we found a mouse ate a capacitor. we found a good replacement, and sure enough it worked! Not without first falling flat on its face though, although that damaged nothing.

What a great channel. Now i want a crt.

WOW CRTs are sooooo good for depth wow! soo good many wow much like very good m8

make sure you eat your green eggs and ham

As soon as the Sims 1 music kicked in I knew this guy knows what he's talking about. Serious nostalgia.

As a smasher, I agree I do in fact love these beasts.

Trolls 2 looks better on a CRT because of great dialogue? Idk about you but I judge dialogue with my ears, not my eyes.

i dare you to get an OLED tv and compare it with the CRT :D

CRT + The Sims soundtrack = MASTER NOSTALGIA MODE ENABLED

HD CRTs are surprisingly decent, but I think the best picture I've seen was my DLP in 1080p. It had the depth you're talking about with crystal clear clarity.
