CRTs are my preference for retro gaming. There's something about playing classic games on a flat screen that just doesn't feel quite right. It feels a bit lifeless or cold in comparison to CRT screens.
I remember playing my gamecube on my grandparents super old tv. It was like one of those with the wood finish look on it and it had the knobs. When I would turn it on you had to pull a knob and it would make some really satisfying sound that is probably something dangerous and outdated inside the tv lol.
It's ironic that older systems look BETTER on an CRT television than a modern display. I wish I had one to plug my SNES into. Alas, I haven't had one in years.
CRT's are not crappy, they did the best they could do at the time depending what they are used for. They are the best for older video game consoles - where the video quality of those consoles look better on CRT vs a modern HDMI 4K tv. So next time, try playing an N64 on a CRT then play it raw onto your fancy 4K tv - do not use any anti aliasing, frame rate changes or tweak anything - just plug it in and see for yourself how crappy the 4K one will look.
CRT isn't outdated. Lots of PC gamers still use it for high refresh rate. Also. Retro console games looks better on CRT than LCD. I still have a Philips 32" 100Hz TV and a 19" CRT Monitor just in case i need them. Edit: Cool to see Series X on CRT. :)
Most likely the Xbox assumes it's a 16:9 signal which is one problem and looks like the box is converting it to 480i but presenting it in pan and scan rather then letterboxing it. On a lot of movies you would miss parts of the sky or maybe a car to the far left or right. But here your missing vital text. Also nothing back then had small lettering. That's why sitcoms and other shows had large letter text cards introducing the show. They had to stand out on a small 4:3 box. And text was always centred in tv and games and never put to the sides to avoid cut off. If you could set that box to 4:3 you might get better results. Would be fun to try it out. Try a 360 on it set to 4:3 and letterboxed. It will make a difference.
5:59 This is what it was like watching sports in the 2000's, the text was broadcast in HD and CRT's made the small text blurry and unreadable, even on a 60" projection TV.
I used to have a big crt tv that had a cool 16x9 option that was very useful to "widescreen" dvd movies and 360 games back then. It squished the screen with extra black bars ontop and bottom, very cool setting. 🤘
I remember I got my parents old tv which was a zenith, I used it from 2004-2011, when mw3 came out I finally managed to get a 32 inch RCA from Walmart on Black Friday and it was mind blowing lol, I’ll always appreciate that zenith I had though
It may not have looked as good, but that’s all we knew. Some days I miss literally plugging in a system and playing. I think you do have an exceedingly crappy CRT TV though, they all weren’t that bad.
Most people do. For me I like playing where my screen isn't stretched so I don't prefer widescreen. But each there own. I might by a tv like that so when I buy a original Xbox I can play it on there and get the full experience lol.
Brilliant video to take a look at this and I would of liked to of seen the video options settings on the series X to see what's disabled. I wonder if it would look better though RGB Scart, good for retro games to give that arcade look.... Scan lines.
I had a glass tv up till 2018 when I got a modern tv for Christmas. I played all sorts of xbox360 games on my class tv. I played assassin Creed games, dragonball games and etc. Those were the days! I played so much Raging Blast1 and 2, Assassin Creed 2, Rogue and Ultimate Tenkaichi on it.
I used to play on a tv like that with an Xbox 360 back when it first came out, until i started working and i was able to afford an hdmi pc monitor (when i upgraded to the slim version) good times..
Me too. I saw the DVD combo with Dolby Digital and "SDTV" logo and my first thought was "Wow, that's a newer CRT, must have been one of the last sold in this part of the world"... and then he goes on about how old this technology is. It hurts being in my 30s.
we had two crt tv one which more than 21 years old still running fine after some repairs. Another one is from 2006 and that also is running fine at the moment. The old crtv have very good shelf life. Now a days tv looks great but they break soon.
I got so used of the CRT Static cuz we still have plenty of it here in my house that I lowkey couldn't hear the one in your video until you mentioned it lmao
I had a Panasonic CRT TV back in 2006. But I was forced to upgrade to my first ever HDTV with a Samsung 720p model because I couldn't read the fine print used on GTA 4. The problem is that due to having a 640x480 resolution, CRTs couldn't display fine print. TVs just did not have a high enough resolution. This is why TV advertisements always showed phone numbers in large font sizes. Most TV commercials (Except pharmaceutical advertisements) always had large print so the public could easily read the text. Pharmaceutical advertisements always showed a large phone number so you could easily read it. But they never displayed fine print that way. So the fine print was always just a blurry mess due to the low-resolution density of CRTs. Also unlike modern TVs, CRTs are 4:3 aspect ratio displays. Most video games adapted to 16:9 widescreen as standard starting around 2006. 😎
I remember getting little shocks from touching the TV screen. I was born In 2005 so I'm old as hell (16) but I grew up with these TVs that my older cousins had
It had to shrink the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. You can actually go into the settings on your console to shrink the aspect ratio to make it fit. It will do this on all crt. Even old back lit big screens. These are just 20th century standards. By now you could consider crt antique technology.
tha best thing about CRT TVs when it comes to rhythm games, no input lag yea rhythm games are impossible to play on a LCD/LED TV but put it through a CRT TV, it's a different ballgame
I don't know why but hearing "crappy and old" used 20 times to describe a tv that I grew up with just does something to my soul. Vice city on the ps2 on one of these bad boys, forget about it. I'm only 28 but this kid makes me feel ancient
I grew up with these TV's as well, crappy wasn't the best word to describe them with. But there's no doubt our 4k OLED tvs are light-years ahead of these TV's now. I couldnt stand the static noise back in the day, and I still can't now lol. Leaves ringing in my ears for hours.
I've played an xbox 360 on a crt. It's about the same as this eventhough the TV itself is newer (like 2000-2003). I actually still use this TV for it's intended purpose of watching TV. It has a digital tuner but I just use a HDMI-AV converter so the HD channels are stretched to 4:3 and fill the screen. For watching TV it is actually pretty good.
Without looking it up; old TVs like that are 360p, then they introduces "S-Video." For anybody who can remember that video format (it only showed up briefly, and was poorly adopted) it was 480p, so almost HD lol.
To be honest a high quality CRT TV still displays modern consoles well but you need a quality input. I have a Sony Trinitron with S-video, RGB SCART and YPbPr (component) inputs and it is so crisp in comparison to some lower quality sets from back in the day.
This was how I got started playing MW2. To make matters worse, I had a greedy cousin that would come around and insist on playing split screen on a 10 inch Orion television.
that's actually a quite modern CRT by .. well crt standards but it is a budget set. Plug that bad boy into a Sony (funny) TV WITH component video and you would be surprised just how well it looks.

@@ccrxazy oh ok can i just ask, do the batteries have 2800mah for each single one so in total you get to use 5600mah if you use 2 for a controller?
This is really cool, I remember when you did this with the PS5 as well aha
I had a CRT still when I got my ps3, I remember how amazed I was plugging it into the HDTV I got for Christmas that year 😅
That tv not crappy at all! It would pair nice with some old retro consoles but looks awesome next to a series X too 😎🎮 📺
You can always just get an HDMI to RF modulator, and they don't even cost all that much... Night and day difference when you hook it up tho! 📺
CRT's are not crappy, they did the best they could do at the time depending what they are used for. They are the best for older video game consoles - where the video quality of those consoles look better on CRT vs a modern HDMI 4K tv. So next time, try playing an N64 on a CRT then play it raw onto your fancy 4K tv - do not use any anti aliasing, frame rate changes or tweak anything - just plug it in and see for yourself how crappy the 4K one will look.
The old static sounds brings back memories
Ps2
Same
thats cosmic radiation signal on the tv
I noticed that and that noise is engineered so that you watch tv unwillingly
@@wtfbro7688 cosmic radiation? what is that
CRT isn't outdated. Lots of PC gamers still use it for high refresh rate. Also. Retro console games looks better on CRT than LCD.
I still have a Philips 32" 100Hz TV and a 19" CRT Monitor just in case i need them.
Edit: Cool to see Series X on CRT. :)
Hop back on the old school tv. It still looks good for a old tv.
Most likely the Xbox assumes it's a 16:9 signal which is one problem and looks like the box is converting it to 480i but presenting it in pan and scan rather then letterboxing it. On a lot of movies you would miss parts of the sky or maybe a car to the far left or right. But here your missing vital text. Also nothing back then had small lettering. That's why sitcoms and other shows had large letter text cards introducing the show. They had to stand out on a small 4:3 box. And text was always centred in tv and games and never put to the sides to avoid cut off. If you could set that box to 4:3 you might get better results. Would be fun to try it out. Try a 360 on it set to 4:3 and letterboxed. It will make a difference.
Bro I don't care what anyone says them things were built to last like old school muscle cars 👍💯😁
Retrotink 5x with component to crt. No blur, no lag, crisp image.
Crappy!??......I would prefer aesthetic 🙌🏼🌎
5:59 This is what it was like watching sports in the 2000's, the text was broadcast in HD and CRT's made the small text blurry and unreadable, even on a 60" projection TV.
I would only use a CTR on current gen system if the games I playing were retro games designed for them.
I used to have a big crt tv that had a cool 16x9 option that was very useful to "widescreen" dvd movies and 360 games back then. It squished the screen with extra black bars ontop and bottom, very cool setting. 🤘
I actually did this once, I played on an 8" CRT for a challenge, I might do it again with a 19" one
I remember I got my parents old tv which was a zenith, I used it from 2004-2011, when mw3 came out I finally managed to get a 32 inch RCA from Walmart on Black Friday and it was mind blowing lol, I’ll always appreciate that zenith I had though
It may not have looked as good, but that’s all we knew. Some days I miss literally plugging in a system and playing. I think you do have an exceedingly crappy CRT TV though, they all weren’t that bad.
CRT tvs are great for horror films! and for scaring you at 5am by it randomly turning on with red text and a static screen and sound
Lol, that sounds to me like some 2012 creepypasta stuff right there🤣
I use to play PS2 in crt tv
Gta san andreas

Even I am playing PS2 in CRT TV
@@sadiyafathima9699 i buy crt TV im saving up one in a money years when I finally have a 🏠.
I had one back in 2013 when I hot my xbox 360 man those were the days 😍
I'm disappointed new consoles don't support 4:3. Not everybody wants to game widescreen.
Most people do. For me I like playing where my screen isn't stretched so I don't prefer widescreen. But each there own. I might by a tv like that so when I buy a original Xbox I can play it on there and get the full experience lol.
I miss the look of these older TV's man, so nostalgic, I want one :(
Brilliant video to take a look at this and I would of liked to of seen the video options settings on the series X to see what's disabled. I wonder if it would look better though RGB Scart, good for retro games to give that arcade look.... Scan lines.
I had a glass tv up till 2018 when I got a modern tv for Christmas. I played all sorts of xbox360 games on my class tv. I played assassin Creed games, dragonball games and etc. Those were the days! I played so much Raging Blast1 and 2, Assassin Creed 2, Rogue and Ultimate Tenkaichi on it.
It looks like you're controlling real people on a TV
I used to play on a tv like that with an Xbox 360 back when it first came out, until i started working and i was able to afford an hdmi pc monitor (when i upgraded to the slim version) good times..
And then you sit closer so u can read a stuff and those old tvs would ruin your eyes
For sure
thats actually a myth. modern lcd's cause more eye strain than crt's did due to how they worked.
"Even has a DVD combo built in so you can play DVDs on it. You know it's old when it's got that." Holy bananas now I feel old.
Me too. I saw the DVD combo with Dolby Digital and "SDTV" logo and my first thought was "Wow, that's a newer CRT, must have been one of the last sold in this part of the world"... and then he goes on about how old this technology is. It hurts being in my 30s.
@@georgiepiebob HAHA! Yes!
I am playing on my xbox series x with an phillips ambilight tv i think its from 2011 but its still playable
Nice
we had two crt tv one which more than 21 years old still running fine after some repairs. Another one is from 2006 and that also is running fine at the moment. The old crtv have very good shelf life. Now a days tv looks great but they break soon.
ayy i saw my xbox gamertag in the video lol
That crt tv bring back memories from the og Xbox and PS2 days
My man is so negative
I have the same tv and remote. There's a zoom option and I'm gonna try this
I got so used of the CRT Static cuz we still have plenty of it here in my house that I lowkey couldn't hear the one in your video until you mentioned it lmao
I had a Panasonic CRT TV back in 2006. But I was forced to upgrade to my first ever HDTV with a Samsung 720p model because I couldn't read the fine print used on GTA 4.
The problem is that due to having a 640x480 resolution, CRTs couldn't display fine print. TVs just did not have a high enough resolution. This is why TV advertisements always showed phone numbers in large font sizes. Most TV commercials (Except pharmaceutical advertisements) always had large print so the public could easily read the text.
Pharmaceutical advertisements always showed a large phone number so you could easily read it. But they never displayed fine print that way. So the fine print was always just a blurry mess due to the low-resolution density of CRTs.
Also unlike modern TVs, CRTs are 4:3 aspect ratio displays. Most video games adapted to 16:9 widescreen as standard starting around 2006. 😎
16:9 CRT TV's were a thing too, some were even HD
I remember getting little shocks from touching the TV screen. I was born In 2005 so I'm old as hell (16) but I grew up with these TVs that my older cousins had
16 is "old as hell" now?
@@wyldink1 well 17 now but still
@@titaniumcranium3755 Oh wow, that's practically one foot in the grave.
It had to shrink the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. You can actually go into the settings on your console to shrink the aspect ratio to make it fit. It will do this on all crt. Even old back lit big screens. These are just 20th century standards. By now you could consider crt antique technology.
wait you can change your xbox to 4:3? HOW???
Most CRT TVs were low definition, however a bunch of arcade CRT monitors were medium/high resolution much better to test on.
What do you mean they all take regular color tv signals. They’re all 480i(some are 480p)
tha best thing about CRT TVs when it comes to rhythm games, no input lag
yea rhythm games are impossible to play on a LCD/LED TV but put it through a CRT TV, it's a different ballgame
I put this on so i would have something to watch while i rolled lol now im genuinely invested 🤣
It’s crazy how tv has involved over the years it’s started from a giant brick to a slim smart tv
I feel so old now... i remember tube tvs without vcr and dvd hookups.... i remember times before dvds
Not crappy just old and they can last for decades not just a couple years, but only really good for nostalgia
I mean hd crts have no jaggies like a good 1920 by 1200 17 inch crt the picture is amazing better than most lcd panels
I don't know why but hearing "crappy and old" used 20 times to describe a tv that I grew up with just does something to my soul. Vice city on the ps2 on one of these bad boys, forget about it. I'm only 28 but this kid makes me feel ancient
I grew up with these TV's as well, crappy wasn't the best word to describe them with. But there's no doubt our 4k OLED tvs are light-years ahead of these TV's now. I couldnt stand the static noise back in the day, and I still can't now lol. Leaves ringing in my ears for hours.
“if i didn’t know what that said, i wouldn’t know what that said”
i don’t know why but that got a laugh out of me
I be playing wii sports on this when I was a kid because my family weren’t rich but I loved it
"I cant read it." me "I can read everything just fine..."
I started my gaming on a tv like that. Old school OG Mario / duck hunt 😅 good memories
I've played an xbox 360 on a crt. It's about the same as this eventhough the TV itself is newer (like 2000-2003). I actually still use this TV for it's intended purpose of watching TV. It has a digital tuner but I just use a HDMI-AV converter so the HD channels are stretched to 4:3 and fill the screen. For watching TV it is actually pretty good.
How do I get my tv to not support HD what wires and TV do I need? I have bought a converter and a old tv I don’t want HD.
"I only know because I know, if I didn't then I wouldn't" ...............facts facts.
Without looking it up; old TVs like that are 360p, then they introduces "S-Video." For anybody who can remember that video format (it only showed up briefly, and was poorly adopted) it was 480p, so almost HD lol.
To be honest a high quality CRT TV still displays modern consoles well but you need a quality input. I have a Sony Trinitron with
S-video, RGB SCART and YPbPr (component) inputs and it is so crisp in comparison to some lower quality sets from back in the day.
Old 20inch crt tv’s put out a max resolution (dependant on input) of 543i. Laughable in this day of age. But back then it was the best thing ever!
Ah yes that old school ear piercing ringing, brings a tear to my eye
This was how I got started playing MW2. To make matters worse, I had a greedy cousin that would come around and insist on playing split screen on a 10 inch Orion television.
You can tell he was born after everything went to flatscreens lol I was an 80’s baby and tube was all I played on till 2006 lol
you can buy HDMI/component compatible CRTs as well as CRT VGA monitors that would do the xbox way more justice.
now my ears are ringing ahHAHAHDSadhasdads hAHAHDSH ashda
I was just about to say that stuff looked realistic I thought you was watching a movie for a sec.
I used to play original PS1 on a TV like this, and the graphics seems the same :)
Best picture in games:
480i and below = CRT tv
480p to 1080p = VGA/PC CRT (although some support 1440p)
1440p and higher = OLED LCD
Ooh, you've got one of those Magnavox CRT TVs! Glad it's not a "Magnetbox"...
that's actually a quite modern CRT by .. well crt standards but it is a budget set. Plug that bad boy into a Sony (funny) TV WITH component video and you would be surprised just how well it looks.
