I'm going to keep using CRTs as long as I can get HDMI to component, composite, or S-Video converters. The living room TV is an LCD, but I will keep using CRTs for other rooms.
@@carson01XJIve got some small crts i kept from my grandparents but i dont have the big ones any more and for now i still got cable I have a sony and a panasonic vhs combo the sony small set is amazing ha a great pic my grandpa used it in his bedroom there are some rare panasonic flat pannels that have game mode for analog av with low input lag.
Wonderful video! My main TV is a Samsung DynaFlat TX-P2730 27" SD CRT from 2004, and I have a Roku connected to it using an HDMI to AV converter and a digital TV antenna connected to a converter box connected to a VCR connected to the TV, so that I can both watch and record live OTA TV.
My Phillips CR TV has HDMI in on the back however, I really like your bass speakers that blows mine out of the water. You so much for sharing us with us.
all the CRTs i had stockpiled in the garage were destroyed by a tornado a couple years ago... congratulations on the value of this one increasing ever so slightly.
I had to abandon mine when I moved house a couple of years ago. One of them had great sentimental value as my late-father was a senior director of the company which made it.😢
I've said this on many other videos of people using old TVs and CRT TVs in recent years but I just wish TVs still look like this flat screens are nice especially for movies but there's just something about these that bring back so many fond memories like playing games and watching tv shows that were actually good and watching old classics on a tv like this especially through streaming and DVDs would be so much more enjoyable I don't ever see these coming back but who knows
I have a 1998 Toshiba CRT, i think it's a 28 to 30 inch. It's hooked up to a zenith converter box and a JVC VCR for taping stuff off TV(I still use VHS). I also have a 2005 Magnavox crt hooked up to a converter as well. Both work pretty good. Why should I buy a flat screen when my older TV's work just fine?
I went hunting like crazy last 2 years. I ended up two trinitron 13fm12s with being moded. A 20v80 trinitron. A trinitron 20fs120 but needs a little work. jvc 36av260 and a Mistubishi cs-40509 with s-video. A 34xbr970. Im looking one more 34xbr970 or 34xbr960 to complete My back up tvs. I might end up getting a Pioneer plasma since I cant find my second hd widescreen. They are all amazing with 60fps. My lgc1 77 with black frame insertion and 240hz monitors dont comes close to crt motion clarity.
I own 3 CRT televisions. A 32 inch Sony Trinitron, 20 inch Sony Trinitron and a 13 inch Toshiba. I've recently started to wonder about connecting a digital converter box to one of my sets to see if I can get any over the air cable. Just for the heck of it.
CRT is definitely still worth it if you have retro consoles. However, for modern video playback, I prefer an expensive OLED TV by Samsung, Sony, or LG. One of the biggest issues with flatscreen TVs is that they have a higher input lag than CRT TVs and have weak speakers compared to CRT TVs. Also, CRTs act like an infinite baffle. Even if a CRT TV has small speakers, it could still sound a lot better because the large housing acts like a speaker enclosure. Also, CRT TVs still beat many cheaper LCD TVs in terms of contrast, blacks, and color. I still want a CRT TV as a secondary TV. They are definitely worth it, still. The only downside with CRT TVs is the resolution. However, I rather have a TV with better picture quality over higher resolution. 480p looks pretty decent at a distance.
The Samsung in this video actually does pretty well with modern video playback and small text. The resolution is the best I've seen on a CRT. With some CRTs the resolution isn't that great and small text is hard to read unfortunately. I think it's a really cool technology.
Some HD CRT's had HDMI ports, but most of them only supported 480P and 1080i and or only had component. The Sony TV's supported 720P as well as 480P 1080i.
@@cosettapessa6417 The flickering doesn't really bother me. It's really only a problem when you're close to the TV, and even then it doesn't really bother me. Only thing that bothers me is the dot crawl that you get with composite.
It's just a shame that modern Rokus cant output Fullscreen content properly. For that you need a Roku Express 3910 which was the last model produced with native composite out. Sadly, they're fairly pricey on eBay.
My mom and stepfather just got rid of their tv like that after many years of use. Their tv was only used in their bedroom. I don't recall the brand that they had. I am personally a huge fan of samsung devices.
Very cool! Something about the older technology just tickles me in a good spot 😂
Thanks. I love these CRTs. I had an early 2000s Samsung Dynaflat 27 inch in my room when I was a kid. I'd still be using it if it hadn't broke.
I have a CRT TV in my room while modern tvs are in my parents/living room. sometimes its just kinda nice to watch stuff on VHS lol

Phosphor ghosting is magical. Waiting the beginning of home alone and seeing the snow fall at the intro feels good. lol
I used to have a CRT when I was really young. I got a Samsung flatscreen when I was 9.
I keep a 32" Citizen in my guest room, its hilarious to see my family/guests watch Consume+ on it while they visit. :)

I miss the 27 inch Dynaflat I had a long time ago. That was one of my favorite TVs.

I would love to get a CRT with an HDMI port someday. That would be awesome.
I had this same tv years ago, think I gave it to my younger brother
One of the biggest reasons to maintain a CRT display is for older video game systems that have light gun games.
That's what I save my 36jvc and 40 inch Mistubishi for.
all the CRTs i had stockpiled in the garage were destroyed by a tornado a couple years ago... congratulations on the value of this one increasing ever so slightly.
That sucks. I hope one day before we are too old we get a tv with the same motion clairty and almost no lag.
Sadly the prices are all ridiculous now.

You remind me so much of me !! Crt all the way

That's one of the reasons I like these TV's so much. They bring back a lot of memories from the good days. No good TV shows anymore.
I just picked up an i art jvc flat screen tv and i couldnt be anymore happier getting a ps2 soon
Many people including me use them in india, they are awesome

PS2 games look 10x better on these.
They definitely do.
I mean if it works why replace it.
Exactly how I feel.

Those are great TVs that you have. I'd definitely use them.
It has good bass, looks on the back and shows 2 subwoofers built in...!
That was definitely a high end TV when it was new. I got it for free from Facebook marketplace last year.
Very cool 👍
Thanks.
I have a 27 inch RCA Console TV but it only does 240p and 480i it has composite and S-Video
What year is your console TV from?
@@carson01XJ 2003

I have another Samsung Dynaflat that supports 720p and 1080i through component. It'd be nice to find one with HDMI.
Why all the content pillar boxed?
That's just the border of the screen. It's only letterboxed.
I just switched to LED and LCD Tvs
I've got LED and LCD TVs as well, but I still like to use these old CRTs because they bring back memories, and still work perfectly fine.
Do you need a converter box to To watch watch watch TV on your CRT tv?
Yes. None of my CRTs have a digital tuner built in.
Yeah component and rgb are the best. It’s been a while since i used a crt, is the flickering bearable?
Oh i thought you were doing retrogames loool

How are you getting the 4:3 aspect my fire stick shows 16x9
They're all in 16:9. It's just being squished down to 4:3 on the last 2 TV's. The Samsung is the only one that displays 16:9 properly.
Can you change the fire Stick to a 4.3 aspect?
Unfortunately no.
My mom and stepfather just got rid of their tv like that after many years of use. Their tv was only used in their bedroom. I don't recall the brand that they had. I am personally a huge fan of samsung devices.

Wooo look bettervthan my tv
