i love CRT's for motion clarity. No ghosting. even on OLED displays, especially 2D games it still looks awful unless you have high frame rate then add black frame insertion but that dims the brightness.
gotta wait for Q2 2028. There will be 1000hz OLED monitors then which could get very close to this level of motion clarity ( at least to the human eye it would look the same pretty much ) and honestly a 1000hz OLED overall would be a better choice than a CRT, as long as you can hit stable 1000 fps ingame lol.
@@XDevonBueno Depends on what games lol? I have no issue hitting 1000fps ( literally stable ) in old cld games/clients like IW4X, H2M. Also on cs2 I get stable 800fps as well and I don't even have the best pc exactly. Rtx 4080, ryzen 7 7800x3D, 32gb ddr5 ram. In about 4 years when 6000 series is here, or at least very close with new cpus, it will be not an issue at all to hit stable 1000fps in competitive games. If you are only strictly talking about triple A games then ofc not, but 1000hz monitors are not meant for SP/slow paced games anyway. It's only use is for fast paced/comp games " for now " Who knows, maybe in 15 +years 1000hz is absolutely normal to have in SP games as well.
@@XDevonBueno So again, those monitor are only meant to be used with the " best " pc setup and for someone who only plays competitive, fast paced games. There will be many games where you can easily hit 1k fps stable in 4 years cause like I said, I can already hit stable 1000fps at 1440p Extra on some maps in H2M ( a cod client built on MWR engine which came out it 2016 iirc )

By how your channel looks like now, It seems your channel can be famous In the future with millions of subs. And therefore I subscribe. It feels special seeing you walk, from where you were and where you've come.
@@MrFireseth Well, CRT videos might not be the only thing In the future you will be doing! Also, as a Christian I encourage and maybe remind you to seek and read the Bible If you are not doing or thinking of such. I say that because I believe In Jesus, so I only hope for the best for you. If you believed In the truth, wouldn't you want others to come to It? God bless you.
If you somehow get your hands on a CRT (I've even some for free, old people moving and giving them away) and compatible hardware I highly recommend revisiting it from time to time. Once you get past the annoying CRT whine it's a very cozy and nostalgic experience playing games on hardware native to CRT tv's.
You say that like Sony or Panasonic still make their own products. LG is working on it, but seriously, I don't think it's gonna win. QD-OLED GEN 3 has this locked down. Gonna be hard to beat

brother idk if you are still living in 2005 or so, because LCDs have improve a whole fucking lot, and OLEDs exist. This is nice, yeah, but there is literally no reason to ever go back to CRTs, only nostalgia-blinded people think they are actually better than all modern displays

@@illmatixx_5346 my guy, i have a PC crt, an LCD gaming monitor AND an OLED tv, i probably know more than all the people you think are right. Almost no one can tell the difference between 0ms and 8.3ms (input lag at 120hz), and sacrificing resolution, color accuracy, brightness, refresh rates, and actually perfect blacks in the case of local dimming/OLED (if you didnt know, cuz apparently u are the one who doesnt know shit, the phosphor layer reflects the light from the environment and will raise the black levels unless you are in a pitch black room) for a negligible difference in input lag is fucking stupid. CRTs are just a a nostalgia thing today, there is no objective advantage to them
Fun Fact: CRT Monitors have 0 Input lags unlike what we're using now some of them have higher refresh rate even reaching 120+ hz depending on the Resolution. but the trade-off is higher electrical consumption. 🤓
I've seen you try to play MW3 in your previous video and say that there we're black bars when trying to play in the aspect ratio of your monitor. I've actually tried doing the same a few weeks ago and discovered that you can edit the config file to manually change the aspect ration, which removes the black bars. I don't remember the full process but you can try searching 'stretched resolution' tutorials for the steps. Great video by the way!
*FUN FACT* - CRT monitors are LEGIT amazing for gaming because they have basically ZERO response time, some are locked to 60hz but the response time of the monitor is less than 1ms - Some CRT's had a 240hz refresh rate and were WIDE SCREEN. If you can find one cheap, its better than some of the best monitors that exist today
@@SeraphProtocol the catch is that even the most HD CRTs are never going to be as high quality as the best HD gaming displays, but it also displays colour and vibrancy a little bit more accurately and better, however washout is real on a CRT, so blacks with the brightness cranked up just appear washed out and HDR is pointless. So as long as you can setting with having; 1. Something thing that weighs as much as a small child on your desk 2. No HDR and overall lower resolution - _kinda_ (technically, it could output 4k but you wouldn't be visually seeing 4k as accurately) 3. The lack of wide-screen (4:3 mainly) 4. 60hz cap normally unless you get a specific model without it. 5. Chonky plastic vibes and a bezel you ignore but cannot unsee.. Those are technically downsides but the ups outweigh imo
@@Cleimannn no, it has nothing to do with it being an analog signal, in fact any PC CRT monitor made since the mid 90s is going to be doing digital processing even on the analog signal. the real reason is because the CRT tube is not a sample and hold, but rather displays the image via scanning. this exploits a weird thing with the human eye known as "persistence of vision". modern OLED displays have tried to simulate this via black frame insertion but it doesn't work very well.
