- Most retro gamers own CRTs, but which consoles should you play on them? In particular, what about those 6th generation consoles (Xbox, GameCube, PS2, Dreamcast) and even the Wii? I cover the information you'll need to decide which consoles play best on a CRT TV and which consoles play best on something different.

This channel is criminally underrated
"If you're looking for either a CRT or a ferral animal; you'd have good luck looking in a lot of the same spots." Now that's a quote worth subscribing over
This is how all tutorials should be. All the factors with humor sprinkled in here and there.
It was always simple for me: Gen1-6 on 4:3 CRTs, Gen7-9 on 16:9 non-CRTs. Yes, some Gen6 games support EDTV, but the vast majority of people played them on SD-CRTs during the first half of the '00s. This fact, combined with the massive leap in online accommodations from gen6 to gen7, leads me to consider Gen1-6 truly retro and Gen7-9 truly modern. Radically different eras of gaming.
Your goofy humor and personality is hitting the mark perfectly in this video. You seem very confident and comfortable now more than ever. I love it! Hoping you get all the followers you deserve some day.
lol, I can relate to the “crt’s can end marriages” a little bit. My wife and I are still married, but it was a bit of a thing when I brought home a 36 inch Sony Trinitron 2 years ago. (Got it on Craigslist for $50), Lol, we need it for the retro systems! Looks beautiful next to my 40 inch LCD, which we play the new stuff on.
Found my brother's old Durabrand 19 inch CRT. Now have a PS3, Gamecube, and Atari 2600 hooked up to it.
The last system I played on a crtv was early days of the Xbox 360.
Picked up a good CRTtv this week and it made such a massive difference when playing stuff like Goldeneye or Jet Force Gemini on N64. Hooking it up to an HDtv made the image so fuzzy that it was practically impossible to make out any in-game object that weren’t right in front of the player, now with the CRT it all looks crisp and clean (and old and pixelated, just the way I like it haha)
CRTs are not a hassle they're perfection
I have a composite Roku hooked up to my Sony CRT in my game room just to watch all those great 90s TV shows in 4:3 through my Plex
I love my Trinitron for PS2! Since I got into CRT gaming, I got rid of my Framemeister.
My go to explanation for why CRTs are better is the pipe in Mario. A CRT blurs the chekerboard pattern of light and dark greens into a third shade of green, creating a gradation effect that makes the pipe look round. That's why it was designed with that checkerboard effect. On an HD display, it doesn't make any sense. It's like watching a 3D movie without the glasses; it will look awful because the image was not created with the expectation that anybody would be watching it without the glasses.
All the arcade and console compilations starting from the 5th gen (PS1, Saturn, and N64) all the way to the 7th gen (PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii) are all perfect on the CRT TV.
I make sure to grab every crt tv with component inputs on it that I can. Last one I grabbed I found on a test drive. I brought the customers car back to the shop, jumped in my truck and grabbed that tv. I use nes, snes, n64, ps1, ps2 on CRT. Dreamcast I use a PC monitor for.
Love my CRT, I bought a 90's living room entertainment center cabinet and hooked up a bunch of consoles to it, it's the best.
I've still got my CRT from back in the day which is good because all my light guns games wouldn't be worth squat without it.
Man my parents hoard everything even as far as old used calendars. My old Panasonic 50cm flat screen 480p CRT lived under their house buried behind and under a pile of junk for over 10 years. A couple years ago I decided it was time to get it and make some space at my place. The pile of junk was still there, the TV was not. For whatever reason they were compelled to sift through old bits of foam mattress cutoffs, broken laundry baskets, punctured bike tyre tubes and the like, take out the mint TV, place it on the curb and put all the literal landfill back where it was. Absolutely baffled by that logic but oh well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who still uses a separate CRT for my older consoles. Those scanlines and native 4:3 screen gives a priceless picture that HD screens just cannot.
yeehh, I see this channel explode in about a year. 100k subs easily.
