My CRT model: Sony KV-FS120

Forgot to mention in the video but none of the consoles in the setup require a mod, which makes it much more straightforward than my 240p setup :)
I used to have the exactly same TV when I was like 8 years old (2009) and I actually hooked up my big brother's PS2 into this TV, to play Gran Turismo 4 with my big brother right before he got married later that year!
BTW, I have this TV too, and if you didn't know you can turn it into a widescreen mode in the menu. And apparently it's not just black bars, it actually focusses the pixels vertically so that it's 480 pixels between the black bars. You can use it for those widescreen games on the WIi and Xbox and stuff!
Homebrewed wii is a fantastic replacement for most everdrives for me. Note, im not casual but not exactly loyal to original hardware either. I love the 240p the homebrew emulators on the wii can output. Basically good for everything up to a ps1 minus so large arcade games. But metal slugs work.
Makes me wish i kept my widescreen CRT i had before i bought my first HD tv in 2008.
@17:45 bingo. I see so many people trying to get the sharpest, cleanest picture from N64 by doing HDMI/RGB mods, removing anti-aliasing and blur filters, etc. and honestly it does the system no favors. 2-D gens look great sharp, but low res pixels on polygons are an eye sore and are better left soft. I don’t even like N64 on s-video. Composite FTW!
Agreed
I have a KV-29FS150 Wega made in 2007 😎 looks amazing and it's almost new the owner almost didn't use it. You need to adjust geometry cuz those lines in the top should been not visible at all!!!
I actually prefer these consumer sets over a pvm, I finally realised once I got a pvm that they are just way too sharp and clinical for retro gaming 240p in particular
I have a 19" MAGNAVOX HDTV.
It's good for all my RETRO GAMES.
I also have a Sony Trinitron 28 inch with several consoles all hooked up with rgb-scart 🙂 Only my N64 uses s-video.
12:36 I thought the same, I setup the priiloader to boot the wiii to the homebrew channel where you can navigate your emulators or nintendont for gamecube games with the gamecube controller. I have the wii motes and sensor bar stored away incase the off chance you need to change the wii's video output settings.
Great colours and picture, I think you should fix the bowing and make some basic geometry adjustments in the sub-menu. The upper left corner and upward bow could be very-easy fixes.
thanks for the advice! how do I access the menu that allows me to do that?
@@thebalb
Turn tv off
Press “display”, “5”, “vol +”, “power”
Navigate sub menu with 1, 4
Change values with 3,6
Skip around the menu with 2,5
The first 10 or so options should be for geometry, make sure NOT to touch settings you’re unsure of; it is possible to permanently damage the set with some values.
There are lists online of which values you can change.
To fix the bowing, you’ll need to physically turn a ring on the back of the tube inside the crt, I have a video on my channel showing this adjustment. There are other guides for it as-well.
The bowing cannot be fixed from the service menu. You need to open the TV and adjust a set of rings to correct this. Test me, it’s easy and worth it.
Just a tip, make sure to turn off clear edge VM, I can tell by your footage that it is turned on. It adds a black border around things and it just makes things look worse, especially for 2d games.
for xbox, xbox 360, ps2, wii, game cube try an HD CRT, they looks awesome at 480p and 1080p
What's the difference between a regular CRT and an HD CRT for GC? GC only outputs 480i iirc.
@@xylem2202 well, in my case, i find native 480 using component cables looks way better in this crt hd. But in the case of the xbox 360 look really really impressive
@@shiroumxm2052 Yea, I have a 2005 Trintron KV-13 and Metroid Prime 1&2 look amazing.
@@xylem2202 does it allow 720p¿ i guarantee you xbox 360, and ps3 will look awesome too. Mine does 1080i and make really cool upscale , better color, better contraste, image pops out of the screen and also crt seems deal a lott better with the aliasing issue.
Sorry my english sucks.
Some PS2 games will look low res on HD CRT yet some don't even need progress scan to look sharp. Strange because all PS1 games I have never look pixelated unless they are the pre-rendered resident evil type games
I noticed that Ganecube games look better when played on Gamecube than on Wii. I have Monster SVideo of my Gamecube and Monster Wii components and Gamecube still looks better. The 480p difference ain't that big a deal.
Question when you have a crt tv and have component cables for the wii, do you have to select 480i (SDTV) on the options in the wii menu? Please let me know thanks!
yeah, select 480i (SDTV) as that's the highest resolution the vast, vast majority of CRTs output. anything higher and the picture won't show :)
@@thebalb thank you so much! I was wondering my why the picture didn’t show when I selected 480p. So even though I have component cables, I still have to select 480i when I have a crt tv?
@@thebalb please let me know thanks
@@popeye6284 Yes, even with component cables, you still have to select 480i since that's the highest resolution your CRT supports. Even though your CRT can't do 480p, it's still better to use the component cables because the video quality will be sharper and more color accurate.
@@thebalb thank you I really appreciate it! Also is your Sony Trinitron CRT TV a 27 inch? I have a 32 inch JVC I’ART CRT TV and I love it! Works very well for me and my retro game consoles!
The slim PS2 does load faster than the regular ps2 ,but the power of the old one is better
No way man. Slim is more power efficient and heats less
😂thay tv is heavy as hell. Holy crap!
How do you get rid of the video input display on the screen?
Hopefully you have an original remote. Just hit “display” on the remote to get that off the screen.
Amazing!!! what is your tv's video setting?
Don't play the last soulcalibur on PS3, I forget which one but the menus are unreadable on my LCD and I can only imagine a CRT
What's up bro you still have your sega saturn collection from two years ago you did a video on your saturn collection
yes sir :)
8:22 too much time dedicated to the PS2 already
:(
Is this the kv-27fs120?
Yes
In Australia it’s about the best option for component but these sets have absolutely awful geometry I noticed yours has issues straight away especially in the top left
This TV has excellent geometry after calibration.
When I got my Trinitron I picked it up by myself and sit in my car the day that I sent it to me was like what the fuck was he was an all shock because he was going to try and help me put pick it up and I was like Nah dude I got this
Also your phone doesn’t give this tv justice !
You know Trinitron is good because it rhymes with "turn me on."
Instead of buying expensive Gamecube component cables just play your GameCube games on Wii.
I just found my ps2 and ps3. I never I had one because it was so long ago. Does anyone recommend any games
I could recommend some games based on what other games you like :). those libraries are so big that it's hard to recommend games otherwise :p
@@thebalb I like rpg and open world games but I’ll try any game as long as it’s cheap.
@@thebalb I have a Sony Bravia TV
@@thebalb I'm getting a 9 in Sony Trinitron TV for Christmas and I'm going to be using that for my PlayStation 2
7/10? ok I guess
i couldn't sit that far away
