JimmyFraska 03/29/21 9:10:34 PM #1:	Commodore 1702. Coming in the mail this week. I think it is one of the very best looking CRTs. Sony has a couple others I think have a nice aesthetic, but this one is really gorgeous imo. Gonna be hooking up that s-video to play some Super Famicom :) <cite>JimmyFraska posted [p:952259708] in About to g... [t:79376361]...</cite> <quote>Commodore 1702. Coming in the mail this week.

JimmyFraska 03/29/21 9:23:30 PM #3:	There was another one that was about $100 more than this, that had a few less scuffs and scrapes than this one, and had the manual and box. But, the pictures they took of it turned on looked dead and colorless. Whereas this one the ebay poster was smart to put a fucking purple ass Star Trek game as the example, man that looks pretty. Might have just been camera issues with the other guy, it can be hard to take pictures of a CRT. But it made the difference to get me to choose this one. My next step is to by spare parts just in case, and then download all the videos and references I can find on this particular model, just in case any of that goes away in the future. <cite>JimmyFraska posted [p:952260203] in About to g...

Those Commodore monitors are supposed to be really good too. Commodore just had great designs for all their equipment from around that time. But yes I hear performance wise, picture wise, this one is very good. I used to not see the big deal with CRTs until I actually saw the difference between compsoite and S-video.

JimmyFraska 03/29/21 9:32:32 PM #10:	Chicken posted... Lately Ive rediscovered that SNES games look so much more vibrant on CRT screens. It's the console I collect for (well, super famicom now, technically). And I used to not care about CRTs, but then I actually saw what S-video looks like and my mind was blown. But even just composite, CRTs really do look better. I've always subscribed to retro gaming channels where they would talk about it, but I never really understood until recently. I would like to hook a PC up to this as well, but from what I understand it isn't just as simple as getting a converter. <cite>JimmyFraska posted [p:952260512] in About to g...
