- ep15: CRT's are beautiful creatures.
Heavy as all hell, but beautiful.
This particular television is a Sony Trinitron Wega KV-HR series model.
It kicks some serious ass, and I thought I'd show it to you.
This video jumps from my current TV all the way back to my CRT

i miss the CRT buzz only i could hear...
i remember that buzz noise. lol
I knew I wasn't the only one
Very few people can hear that strange indescribable high pitched whine of a CRT starting up. For a while I thought I was crazy as I would be in a room with 10 other people and be the only one to hear it.
Yes, that sound is real. It's produced by the horizontal deflection coils and the flyback transformer. It's frequency is about 15KHz, it sits on the upper end of human hearing, and that's why not everyone can hear it.
I've come across some phone chargers that make a faint similar sound.
MisterTalkingMachine
I've thrown out phone chargers that do it! Keeps me awake...
It's a little unnerving.
Some light bulbs too.
I have always enjoyed CRTs. They have been a huge part of me; I still remember playing PS2 games on them.
there going to eat you omg!!!!!
@@raven4k998what
My school has a HDMI port on their 1080p crt and I want it.
There is a slim possibility that its plasma but I don't think so.
My CRT monitor is older than 17 years and I can overclock it to 4k over VGA only for a few seconds since my laptop bluescreens due to shit GPU.
same
i have a 30 inch sony trinitron with hdmi but the tv is broken. there quite common where i live i have seen 4 in like 6 months
funniest shit i've ever seen hahahahahah
I can see it now. CRT's are going to be the new hipster thing, like vinyl records.
Because they have many advantages. No response time at all, better color depth, true black color and that it can use any resolution up to max resolution without quality loss.
CABAL 100-120 hz for cheap asf price while new 120-144 hz monitors are expensive af
Hahahah, I just threw all mine out over the past few years, seen the new 4k tech and presto! The future is bright and the earth is round!
No response time, big deal, some LED screens have 5ms response time. Better color depth? I don't know, my CRT monitor definetely has less contrast than my LED screen. True black color? True. Any resolution? My CRT starts to flicker at high resolutions, and it's very very annoying
+CABAL You do know Plasmas have all that and more right?
Yo dawg, thanks for showing me the quality of your CRT on my LED display. What I'm looking at on my display is much better than my display can display.
sorry to ruin the joke/meme but i think you meant OLED or LCD.
Nikola Pavlica I understand, it must be hard being so pedantic.
compare the motion clarity to other loled videos you have seen and you will notice that CRT is untouched in that department.
both LCDs and OLEDs are a fucking joke motion wise.
im glad i still got my 500M ;)
Is my Sony trinity on HDTV WEGA crt TV? better than my 75hz LCD display? In terms of response time
You don't just look at a T.V and say oh its an LCD there is such thing as LED TVs and they are better and thinner than LCD
I first saw this video back when it was initially uploaded, and after all these years I finally have my own hd crt! it's incredibly vibrant, and 720p/1080i content looks amazing on it. I've got my xbox 360 and nintendo switch hooked up atm and they're perfect for this thing
hello
its sony ? can you post video of it ? thanks
I love these things. They are beautiful. And I use my old one for retro gaming, and watching VHSs, but honestly if there are HD CRTs then I might as well buy one to use as my normal TV.
All the TVs I've had except two of them were old boxy CRTs, and when I think of it now, I feel kinda bad that we don't use stuff like this anymore. My granny had a 90s big screen tv that my family had in the living room for a little while. And I'm 15 years old, and I'm one of only very few in my generation who know what the hell a CRT is. It's a beautiful entertainment source.
I love watching the first Alien movie on my CRT! It's a transitive nearly spiritual experience as the waves of electrons fired one by one dance to a low electric hum. The comfortable warm glow of phosphorescent pixels like soft moonlight dancing through the shadows around me.
and that's when it hits you that you have no ice cream🤣🤣
To be fair, Wes Anderson movies look good on any TV.
yes lol
This might be my favorite crt tv video, i love it! Thanks for making this video so good! Not to mention you've got the best Sony Holy Grail SuperFinePitch widescreen awesome dark grey speckled case too.
I must say, this is one of the best channels that I have come across in a long time. Every video has its own warmth and I feel welcomed in for a good time. You deserve much more credit for your work than you deserve. GHG thank you.
I hated lugging these damned things around...but man they sure last a loooong time! Hell, even the monster tube TV's built inside a wooden frame from friggin' 50's and 60's still work to this day. Now you get yourself a fancy LCD/LED TV, you're lucky if you have it for 5-8 years. Fuck planned obsolescence!
our HDTV lcd lasted about 7 years while we have a 1970s veneer paneled CRT that still works fine XD
+MCatwar magnavox was good from what I've heard
MCatwar
Aw yeah, my ma bought a Magnavox TV back in '95 or '96. Fucker's _still_ kickin' to this day! xD
Dylans VitaReviews
NICE! :D
+Dylans VitaReviews I had a 24in Syncmaster flat that ran for awhile too, but the backlight dimmed and yellowed so I had to replace the whole LCD panel or retire it, I retired it.
I find myself re watching all green hams vids over and over until a new one is released
I've watched this one atleat 4 or 6 time and I haven't even been subbed for 2 weeks :(
+D34DxChevy You're in love.
+D34DxChevy same xD
I have a Samsung LCD TV with an amazing display, but MAN...glad i kept my CRT! The depth is unreal!
Make a "Cuphead on an HD-CRT" Video, please!
My dad threw out a 30" Thomson CRT, it was 1080i too. What a stupid decision...
Rage Machine CRTs are dangerous. glass shatters? violent implosion and release of toxic chemicals. open it up? a extremely hazardous shock hazard that can kill you. also extremely heavy and use alot of power.
No...
but they r good! and LCDs and Prasmas r really dangerous too
+Rage Machine in what ways? and are led and oled displays ok?
+BritishActionGamer
LED is the same shit as LCD just that it has a different backlight technology, the actual panel is the same
Rage Machine why are lcds and plasmas dangerous?
Convinced me to buy a CRT off craigslist. Thanks GHG! I have ascended to the CRT Master Race.
+The Rarest Mememan Never let these beasts die! #CRTMasterRace
+The Rarest Mememan I have 2 CRT's that I use for all my gaming.
+The Rarest Mememan Welcome to the CRT master race. My 1986 Sony Trinitron TV approves, in all of its rich, colourful glory.
+Green Ham Gaming did you ever hook it up as a pc monitor? i have pretty much the same tv as you the 30inch model that i found on a curb, i put a new cord on it because someone cut it off and it gets 5 to 7 lights when trying to turn it on. and found out it just need the 2 chips that usely goes on them. this was 2 years ago its been siting ever sense, But im going to fix it soon, And wondering how do they look when hooked up as a pc monitor threw the dvi input? Tho im not sure if i would be able to turn up the hz from 60hz, cause 60hz on a crt is always hell on eyes lol
+The Rarest Mememan Welcome to the brotherhood my friend, I've my flat screen CRT since many many years back.
These are fantastic monitors!
I can really tell you put your heart & soul into these videos, I love it man
All this talk about nostalgia and you play The Sims music lol Love it. Your whole channel is really full of soul.
The ever growing, competitive Super Smash Bros Melee scene relies on these beautiful CRT's. They are better than any other 4k monitor.
If CRT were still developed no panel could came even close.
Your channel and videos completely speaksto my own inner passion and appreciation of older tech that still has a lot to offer.
I really want one of these televisions, but they are hard to come by these days!
Great video, I like the poem you did at the beginning!
My reason to prefer CRT TVs is because of how retro games, more specifically 16 bit games look on CRT TVs compared to LCD or LED screens, the colours look better on CRTs, they usually look all either washed out or blown out on LCD/LED screens, there's often a loss of colour in said screens as well, but the colour is only one of the reasons, retro games on modern TVs also tend to look blocky and not as good as I remember, on a CRT screen the inherent blurriness tends to smooth out the rough edges and give that unique retro-game look that I love a whole lot but will most likely never be replicated (no, Indie games more often than not DON'T capture the look of retro games faithfully)
But the worst offender is not the look, but the input lag and the lack of compatibility with light guns in modern LCD or LED screens, and even in HD CRTs...
With all of that in mind, I much prefer my gameplay on a Standard Definition CRT TV, they're the best for the kinds of games that I enjoy the most...
+Ruko Michiharu LCD's are horrible at running anything that isn't their native resolution. A modern Full HD TV has 1920x1080 resolution, and PS1 games, for example, often run at 320x240. That is some heavy upscaling required.
Michirin9801 the colors are good on CRTs, but even better on OLED screens, pair that with the highs resolution on the OLEDs, and that's why it's my favorite. LED/LCD screens to me are ugly, and CRTs make that super annoying hissing sound, plus are completely inconvenient.
toshineon true, playing PS1 games on my LCD television is so ugly, so that's why I play them on my PSP
Look into rgb scart and the framemeister this will make your old consoles look quite good on Modern TVs.
I grew up with a CRT, which unfortunately died 5 years ago. You can't get a decent CRT these days..
Watching Kung Fury on this bad boy would be a blast.
I still use a crt tv.and one of my computers uses a crt monitor and I love it, its much better than a flat panel computer monitor
2020, and I still have 3 CRTs and plan on getting even more
because an lcd monitor wont be there for you when you come home
because the crt is just too heavy for someone to steal it while you're gone
brotalnia It's not just because it's heavy, but also that most thieves only steal shit to sell it which a CRT won't get you much money unless a thief was smart enough to know that retro gamers crave CRTs.
i stopped using crt like 2 years ago when oled came, it was enough for me to make the switch.
still too expensive worldwide
4 years later and smartphones have OLED for cheap. But today, is all about MICRO LED! Yeah yuh!
But but bb b b MY CRT
the CRT has ZERO inputlag, the Oled has 16ms on gaming mode
@@AugustoV8Cesar I want a crt, but cannot afford.
I like the noise and that high pressure feeling you get in your head when you go behind one while it's on haha
I love both kinds of effects but I can’t argue on this TV you have these practical films looking great.
The last CRT TV I had was an iLo DTV2794. It was able to get digital channels (ATSC) over the air, but even though it took HDTV signals, they were down-converted and cropped to fit the square 4:3 display. These days, I have a 720p Dynex LCD TV. That also doubles as a PC monitor, and even has HDMI.
I love how you use the building music from the original Sims game
I need to confess that your video editing is great. Congrats. :D
Happy to still have a CRT in my lounge. Well, not happy that the LCD that replaced it lasted only a year and a half to finally be replaced back by the big good ol' CRT^-^
You forgot to elaborate on how the majority of all CRT sets also have vastly superior audio to speakers on even the most high-end LCD/LED sets ever made. This is thanks to the CRT's front-to-back size, allowing for enormous speaker drivers. I've never heard a LCD/LED ever come close in audio quality to a CRT because a flat-panel is just that: flat. XD
I'm gonna need to buy a soundbar for my 2012 37" Vizio E371VL 1080p LCD HDTV.... While on the other hand, my parents' 1988 27" JVC 480i CRT TV already has spectacular sound, particularly in the bass department.
+TurboPikachuX To be fair, if you're really serious about your sound, you should be getting a separate sound system anyway. While CRT speakers are usually better, it's still pretty easy to surpass their quality with even a modest little speaker and subwoofer combo.
Playing sims one build mode music in the background. i knew it without looking in the description
Lov the vid, it took me back to posibly the best time i ever had in video gaming, I had forty inch sony hd years ago, a KV something with a sega saturn, then I purchased a dreamcast and I was blown away by the depth. thay don't make them like that anymore. again thanx.o7
I barely ever drink tea, but today I have already drank 2 cups because I've been binge watching your channel.
My Sony Trinitron is just a part of my life and when that amazing bulky beast dies a part of me will go missing
Long live CRTs! The most neglected amazing piece of tech!
yep the only tvs that covers the entire light spectrum that humans can see.
Playing Playstation 1 and N64 is not the same as playing on a PDP / LCD / OLED / I had a newer version (lighter grey 500 pound trinitron) of the TV you have at 1080p, I think the native resolution was the same 1440x1080. I love 120hz 144hz LCD LED monitors- but they still have issues with low resolution content and you will always have contrast issues. You know what I wonder, how would an HDMI upscaler work on a modern HD CRT Television?
This model in the video does have HDMI ports, so you could use an upscaler for it.
Ryan Lohman *1080i.
CRTs don't have a native resolution, only maximum resolution and refresh rates, unless the TV somehow adds limitations. There's no need for upscalers on CRTs, it will display standard definition just fine. It's effectively shooting a dot at the phosphors on the back of the screen, one line at a time, if the resolution is lower it just has to draw fewer lines.
eg: if you had otherwise identical CRT TVs - one supported HD and one standard definition, and fed both a standard definition signal, they'd look identical.
Your particular selection of ice cream flavor was impeccable. Well done.
Cool idea for the Dolly effect in the camera, I like the Sims music here, and also great TV CRT will always be my favorite!
Of course you had to use the "now their going to eat me" scene xD
oh my goooooooooooooòooooooooooooooddd
They're
Zestypanda oh shet... NOOOOOOOO ples have mrcy ples Dx
This is an inside joke with me and my friends whenever we watch a terrible movie! Lol
+Sunny Hill Yeah, almost all of these are terrible movies and even look bad on a "decent" CRT XD.
"They never seem to give up", well my first philips 26" unit didn't which is a shame because the speakers were incredible. nontheless it was going to the dump anyway and I got at least a month or 2 of enjoyment out of it while it was on its last legs.
Also it's good to see I'm not the only one that notices the benifits of using a CRT for video playback, most other videos on the subject matter focus purely on the gaming aspect.
Seeing this makes me miss my last HD CRT, a 27" Toshiba. It too did 1080i (but not 720p) and was a 4:3 aspect ratio but it was a great TV for my PS2/Xbox/GameCube days. Sadly it was making a very loud hissing sound as it got older and I had to retire it over time. But now that I look back towards the days of classic gaming, I wish I never did that. Thanks for the memories.
CRT + The Sims soundtrack = MASTER NOSTALGIA MODE ENABLED
I'm still salty that SED tech never made it to market.
It seems that OLED has a much greater potential for burn in than CRT/SED so... I dunno about that.
Its pretty hard to get burn in. You would have to leave your screen static for ages.
I hear a lot of the OLED TV's are rated with a minimum of 2000 hours before burn in becomes a problem. And I would assume that would have to have a lot of static time on maximum brightness to do it even then. And considering how bright OLEDS tend to be you could just turn down the brightness and still get an amazing picture without having to be paranoid about burn in
Sony Trinatrons where/are the best CRT tubes
As an 18 year old (1998) who was born at the end of the 90's, my obsession with light gun games (like Time Crisis, HoTD, and Virtua Cop) will always keep my interest peaked in these beasts. What you said at the beginning of the video was spot on, it comes from an age with less nuance and worry, and reminds us of the simplicity of life, and technology at the same end. Thanks GHG for reminding me of better times. Running MAME and an IR LCD "Light gun" will never compare to using an old CRT in the wee hours of the morning to play Time Crisis 2 on a PlayStation 2.
I remember seeing this video back in 2018 and now looking back at this, it makes me want one of those CRTs you had since I find something like that beast of a Sony Wega HD widescreen so classic and special now that it comes to me.
Have three of the best hd crt's of all time myself.
A Sony XBR 960.
A Loewe Aconda 38".
And a Panasonic AT H3015w broadcast monitor.
They are truly amazing, especially when the service menu and normal menu settings and the screen and focus dials/knobs are perfectly set. Regular degaussing via a large degaussing coil is also a big boon.
The only great hd crt's that I believe I do not yet have are a Sony BVM D32E1WU or A32E1WU, and a Loewe Aconda 30" flatscreen.
I have two of them hooked up to PC's via Extron scalers and they handle movies and games so damn well, and they do not get blurry up close like lcd's do.
Stupid Jerk I used to have an RCA F38310 Loved it
Apparently they still Make CRT HD Monitors with HDMI for professional use! There are ads for them under this video. very expensive.
Where?
I think he's referring to Reference Monitors used for Grading. Reference Monitors cost anywhere from $5000 to $40,000.
@@browsebywire4096 Sony BVM? Those are OLED monitor but they are way thicker than LCD monitor. I love it though, Thick mean well made!
I just love Green Ham
What a great channel. Now i want a crt.
A bit blurry....well, that's full screen antialiasing for free :D
haha The Sims music.
My fav!
I came here to watch about the TV, and love the Sims 1,My fav game, and when I heard the sims in it i was like wait-what?
Love it that you included the awesome soundtrack!
Funny enough, I play the Sims 1 Complete Collecton my Windows 98 PC, with a Compaq v700 CRT Monitor.
Definitely Subbing!
I'm watching this on my CRT tv right now, and it looks fabulous.
Good tv I had one but the details in HD aren't as clear as a good LCD hd panel.
For its time anyway.
@@DoppelgangerPlayer CRT TVs won't generally be sharp, largely as most aren't HD - and usually interlaced as well. Text can be very readable on CRTs, all monitors used to be CRT anyway.
awesome, new green ham, i wonder what would happen if you could upgrade a dell demension like draynor as much as the hardware would allow
Zag TheEquivalent That'd be great!
Zag TheEquivalent Draynor doesnt have an PCI-e port or an AGP port so graphics could only be upgraded via slow expensive and rare pci gpu's :)
i knew about that, but you could also replace the motherboard, and you dont necessarily need to replace the gpu, if you put a core i3 or lower it would have pretty decent integrated graphics
true, why not replace the motherboard then? although that may be a bit too expensive, especially for draynor.
yeah, too bad, i really want to see that thing shine
I love the video editing, I've said this in other videos but it is great and unique, no one else (That I have seen) does this!
The king of nostalgia
This guy has the most convincing and relaxing voice on TH-cam. Which is why I subscribed. I do want more videos more often though, its like a lallabye when I watch your videos.
I hope you still own this TV
CRT monitors have been doing more than HD for a very long time already.
4k 3d is things i dreamed of while watching my old hard to see CRT tv, Never seen a hd CRT so i cant say to much, But i do remember seeing my 1st flat screen hd tv and it was amazing.
Wander how much freaking power this thing uses xD
+Jalacore The claim that they are power hogs is an exaggeration, made by people unfamiliar with a CRT. I have about ten CRT displays on at the same house and it makes little difference, doesn't come close to consumption of heating or air conditioning.
+Adam Selene This High end CRT's use about 90Watts, whereas a 22inch 1080p LCD uses only 20-30Watts of power.
A considerable difference, and can be seen as power hungry when compared.
Actual power bill difference is hardly noticeable. You are mainly paying for A/C, heat, and light. A 22" LCD panel is very uncommon for a TV. Most panel TVs are bigger and use about 125-260 watts.
Adam Selene LCD tvs, and LED's are even more efficient.
But that doesn't change my statement's validity.
"A considerable difference, and can be seen as power hungry when compared."
A large panel like most people have uses more electricity than a typical CRT. People promoting panels used this non-reason to push the panels.
make sure you eat your green eggs and ham
TheJman5520 And don't forget about Gaming!
Liked the video, lookin for a crt for my old gamecube and i enjoyed you enthusiasm. Nice crt by the way.
I know you might not read this but I afor your videos, every single one have that nostalgia feeling and I'm loooooving it. The best and most unique experience on youtube by far. Also love your adventures. :) OMG BEN AND JERRY YES!!
CRT's look good in sense of depth, as you said, but imo OLED TV's are even better; better then LED's, Plasma, CRT. Only proplem is the price of these fuckers.
Trinitons are heavy as fuck man
Awesome man, thought i was the only aussie that loves crts, ive got about 5 of them and saved most of them from the roadside just before it started raining, they have scart comp and s video which is why i love them so much
Another bonus you missed is that they are too heavy for thieves to bother with.
I am tempted to put a 4k monitor into the body of a CRT.
+SockratisGaming *BUT WHY*
It'd be cool. It'd be like putting a full on pc into a record player or a juke box.
SockratisGaming
No, it would be like putting a CD player into a phonograph.
that would be pretty badass actually

Not really. You had a good phonograph and a good CD player, now you just have a CD player in a really big case.

In the domestic sphere, these SONY behemoths were the culmination of CRT technology. In the professional world, where colour accuracy and off axis viewing is paramount, CRTs are only just being replaced (at huge cost) by OLED master monitors. Emissive displays will always exceed sample and hold displays. LCD is inherently flawed due to colour shift when off-axis, and backlighting with LEDs on a single edge results in poor light uniformity. PDP was approaching great levels of reproduction accuracy , but was unfortunately legislated out of existence by energy regulators.
Kudos to you, young man, for acknowledging the technical beauty in a consumer grade product. If only you could see the professional grade SONY CRT reference monitors. I've steadily been acquiring as many as I can from auction houses as TV networks and other facilities upgrade due to the products reaching end of life. They are a joy to behold when fed with SDI @ full HD.
It's beautiful. I cry at the sight of this glory.
At 1:48, does that cover actually flip out via remote, or was that some sly trick you did off camera?

Can you do a video on the Intel Atom?
***** Would be hard to do as Atom processors are ment for mobile or very cheap desktops and are soddered directly to the board hard to compare them and upgrade them
+Kal Solette It is? I kind of dislike my little goblin of an Atom laptop, but I also appreciate it. It was one of those that Intel used a 3rd party PowerVR GPU. So it only has drivers for Windows 7 32 bit, none for linux.
***** If it's nvidia it will run fine, I have the N2800 cpu with the GMA 3600 (aka PowerVR SGX 545) Not really made for gaming but handles HD video smoothly so I'm happy. If I add more RAM I's sure I could run something like Don't Starve.

The intro with Sprach Zarathustra from 2001 A Space Odyssey is pure class👌
That Sims music though. :3 God damn, you're throwing me back in time.
Was thinking exactly the same! So nostalgic! Can't believe it's been over 16 years now...
hahah yep, haven't heard that music in 15 years yet its like i heard it yesterday, fuck i played the shit out of those games.
It may have been used for Sims, but the music at the beginning was composed by Richard Strauss. Its title is
"'Also', sprach Zarathustra".
It was used as film music for 2001 Space Odyssey, or 2010, or whatever the film title was. I guess the director was Stanley Kubrick.
HDMI - The land of motion blur, horrible anti-aliasing and screen-tearing.
All so some director can have every single shot in a movie whirling around the character to satisfy their artistic god complex.
Where is the GameCube? Do you not play melee?
I love how he used 2001 a Space Odyssey clips and music, comparing the CRT to the Monolith.
This is literature...you've fallen in love with you bigass TV lad.

Getting rid of my lcd tvs now i want that TV CRTs are better than lcds
Trolls 2 looks better on a CRT because of great dialogue? Idk about you but I judge dialogue with my ears, not my eyes.
Thought the same thing.
straight over your head?
it's a joke

its a meme have you seen troll 2? It is so shit that its funny
This is my dream crt for playing all my retro consoles on.
Like to see CRTs getting some love here. Due to the NES being my favorite console, I've got to know - does the Zapper light gun work on HD-CRTs?
I've also never given much thought to color and depth advantages of CRTs (or any advantages of all, for that matter). We may never have a perfect format due to unique advantages they all present. Even in filmstocks there's much different viewing options, like with nitrate where the whites would actually glisten.
i dare you to get an OLED tv and compare it with the CRT :D
+deathbot117 Have fun because a part from convergence settings CRT's have only advantages compared to other technologies when it comes to picture quality.
well it seems you have never experienced the tru color quality of OLED displays because the blacks are deep and the colors are more organic which is what the "O" stands for which means each pixel emits its light independently and organically and has a very high contrast ratio compared to any other display out there as well as higher pixel density
you can look up the specs of any OLED display and find that they are the future of display tech leaving everything behind in its wake
always fun to see people use buzz words like "organic" and "organically" as if it meant something mystical or special
i own the last model of this version ever made. its the ferrari of crt.
what is?
i have this very same crt and i tried it out yesterday, and i must say it is the best display i have ever used.
HD CRTs are surprisingly decent, but I think the best picture I've seen was my DLP in 1080p. It had the depth you're talking about with crystal clear clarity.
