Rare Sony HiVision Part 2: Primary Display, or Barn Find Nonsense?
Hey folks! Welcome back to HiVision. I got a ton of comments on the previous Sony Trinitron HiVision video- and a lot of them seemed to want me to run with it as a primary display. I tried that for a month or two, and here are my findings.
Also- to just correct myself in the video- the HiVision hated the stock Valve Steam Deck Dock- not the Steam Deck itself. Weird stuff, that dock. For a more detailed look at the inputs and features of this television, please see my previous video.

Sony’s CRAZY EXPENSIVE Walkman WM1AM2! Is it WORTH the insane price!?

    Nice TV. The colour accuracy looks amazing for a TV that old. I thought there maybe some colour differential differences, like maybe the colours not being uniform on the screen, but it looks amazing here. Personally, I am not a fan of CRT and would of definitely passed it by, but I am really glad that someone is able to enjoy it. I also really like the fact that the back was almost flat and not like most tubes which jut out of the back line a cone.

    Yes, RGB signals directly drive the tube. Like always. Thats is why rgb is superiour and lightguns work.

    • @dorfus
      @dorfus 2 месяца назад

      It's not about RGB- it's about the lack of a digital scaler adding latency to the signal. The reason that TV is "special" compared to other HD CRT sets is that most of them scale all signals (RGB / Composite / Component / HDMI) to 1080i or a similar interlaced format, and in the process of scaling lag is added.

    • @ClosestNearUtopia
      @ClosestNearUtopia 2 месяца назад

      @@dorfus there is no other format which drives crt tubes directly, as you stated on the lack of upscaling which isnt requiring driving the colour lines directly. In that case it decides when a vblank/Hblank will appear, which is the stuff the light gun likes to see knowing what line is drawn. You sure its not about rgb? Component/composite all needs a subtraction for extracting the rgb signals for the crt tube, RGB IS THE SIGNAl for the tube itself! And always is analog(you can steer this out digitally as wel). But then what is the point if rgb? Dont understand me wrong but living in an area with scart and rgb support even on digital crts always worked with a direct steering of the cathode ray. Maybe it works different in ither areas since they did not even support rgb in the first place, which is then understandable.

    Those CRT sets with native 480p passthrough are true gems. Many seem to like doubling to 960p as well, which I'm not sure if that adds any lag since it's not using the passthrough mode, but I'd think 960p force upscaled to 1080p (or whatever the max is for this and certain XBR models) would be negligible - no deinterlacing to do and it's a small increment compared to the TV starting with 240p/480i

If you’re plugging into the back component / muse / composite, you’re getting 1035i. In the front, 240p is doubled to 480p. So basically- not quite tri-sync, but relatively useful for old games.
