StyleTok - Connecting a CRT TV to a Laptop by @saintlycharles

Watching old anime in vintage crt is real nostalgia. 😭❤️

Atleast you prevented a CRT from dissapearing from the world. These are better they usually have zero latency and still do the job.

Seeing my CRT in my room playing cable, reminds me of when I was a kid and its just a awesome experince. I have a PS2 hooked up to it too

Its funny how people say these are vintage haha

With the extremely low latency and high hz these bad boys could have, its still nice people appreciate CRTs

I love crt 📺 over any modern technology 🖥️ No lag, stable 60fps, true blacks, image has depth, white is brilliant. Only tech similar, was plasma, but it was poor and expensive in comparison.

I love how it was in the trash even tho it's a treasure itself...maybe the owner will know it was a treasure too late.

There is actually a way to create an analog\digital hybrid TV. But before I tell you how, I just want to explain the difference between analog and digital TV.

We all know that a digital screen is made up of individual pixels, right? but what differentiates this from an analog screen, and what I have heard from the channel Technology Connections, is that analog screen has no individual pixels, but consists of only one pixel, that is the whole screen.
This means that the image gets an infinitely softer and more realistic image depth, because the environment we see is analog.

As I said earlier, there is a way to get the same analogue quality on a digital TV. A milk-toned plastic filter is placed on the screen itself. This breaks the light from the pixels, in a way that softens the image!

I have tested it myself. Feel free to try it yourself!

Would be very cool if smartphones and other gadgets, were made with this technology!

Thank you for reading this!

:-)

I like your video!

Whyy is this literally the freaking cutest thing ive seen!!!!❤

Fun fact:CRT stands for Cadhode Ray Tube

Doing this is actually fairly straight forward. First, you'll need to know what inputs your CRT has. The most commons are composite (The yellow, red and white wires), SCART (mostly in Europe) or VGA (That blue display connector on old computers).

Then, get an adapter from HDMI or DP to that connector. Match the aspect ratio on your device to the CRT (usually 4:3, some TV's are 16:9 and very few PC CRT's are 16:10). For TV's (composite and SCART) you're mostly done. PC monitors (VGA) on the other hand have a bit more customization, as those usually support multiple resolutions and framerate. Finding your monitor's manual will help you find how much room you have to mess around. You'll need to find the vertical and horizontal refresh rates ranges your monitor support. The vertical rate is the supported framerates and horizontal rate gives you the maximum number of lines for a custom resolution. (You'll need to check with a CVT timings calculator to have an accurate estimation of H-sync for one specific resolution.)

He'll, yeah. When I was a kid, my mom had a huge CRT television, and she hooked up her computer to it so she could play Dark Ages of Camelot.

[ulusemreylmaz]

which heartless person would throw a beautiful and also working crt monitor into trash? 😢

[hinkali_v_chetverg]

I've just found out that my mother kept her old crt tv, and she said I can have it! really hope it works fine, gonna update if everything works out

[phengooogaming]

I'd only watch old shows or animes on a TV like this.

[TurboPikachu]

Did this with a Fire TV Stick. Absolutely surreal to run modern YouTube and streaming apps on a CRT

[boscorner]

I've done this before and sadly it looks like crap compared to using devices intended for crts, like things with vga output. (For me I use a raspberry pi and a custom board by recallbox that gives the raspberry pi a vga output for north America, and scart output for other countries)

[Wrestlelesson]

I still have a CRT TV always had it I will never do it away till I am no more

[Jordansklar]

Id get one just for my old ps1 emulator

[skivr]

Bro the Pre rendered backrounds and cgs look sharp on the crt in comparison to what i've seen in emulation 😅

[jairamsah]

My crt working form 10 years without any repair and my smart tv - working form 2 years with 2 repair problems
