PlayStation 5 + Xbox Series X Tested on CRT: Is Image Quality Really Better Than Any Modern Screen?

The prices of CRT monitors increase by 1% for every second DF talks about them.

John singlehandedly keeping the FW900 price out of my range.

The lack of blur is absolutely huge and cannot be understated. When I got back into CRT's after being on flat panels for so long the motion clarity was noticeable right away. Really is a night and day difference

I miss CRTs for games. The phosphor glow, crispness, and the almost perfect black levels. *sigh

This is reminding me of when HDTV's were starting to become mainstream and people were upset that their standard definition DVD's looked worse on their new flat panel HDTV.

I love the fact that old technology can still have relevance. Sometimes the old ways are best.

I was always hoping, that someone would make use of the niche and create modern CRTs. Sadly nobody did!

I would love to see the kind of ridiculous CRT monitor that could be made with todays technology. I'd bet it's capability would easily surpass any method of video output we currently have.

DF be like: "We already have a CRT TV so let's talk about how cool it is and let's the scalpers do the rest."

We're one step away from John standing outside a supermarket with a portable speaker proclaiming to disinterested shoppers that "CRTs are the truth, renounce your flat screens!"

New gen games on older crt tv's actually make the games feel like a movie. as good as the resolution is on newer monitors, you can really hide the imperfections from 4k monitors and things like that, which actually work in favor with the games.

Its crazy looking at a crt for the first time in years. The magic effects in games seem so much more tangible, like they are actually glowing in a space, even the text glows and looks more solid

I just looked up that tv on eBay, they want $3000 lmfao

If your wifes think PS5 is big, just imagine when they see you entering the house with a CRT.

I never thought i would actually go so far as to transition back to CRTs but i did, i have stocked up on units, one of the greatest changes i noticed was i got far far less eye fatigue over any flat screen, motion is so smooth, colors really pop, it's a very pleasant image.

I picked up an old Sony CRT TV a few weeks ago on a whim that was just put out on the street as trash. I'd been wanting one for a while. Didn't think it would work, but I took the chance and busted my ass picking it up by myself lol and what do you know - it worked perfectly! I even have an old remote that works for it too, so I immediately plugged in my PS1 to run some old school Resident Evil. I can't begin to explain the satisfaction and the excitement that it gave me seeing the old startup screen the way it was intended. For those who miss these displays, I can't recommend them enough. The nostalgia is palpable.

CRT's are a funny thing, they are actually quite fun to collect as different ones have strengths and use cases. I currently have a few and use each one differently. They are by far the most authentic and pleasurable way to enjoy retro content and I hope that seeing these videos saves a few more from the dumpster, after all once they are gone, they're gone no-one is making them anymore.

This reminds me of the day I saw my grandmothers CRT tv and was blown away by the image. I wasn't crazy after all

Imagine a modern 21:9 widescreen 4k 120HZ CRT. Gaming on something like that would be insane.

Idk, in ever single comparison the non-CRT still looked better to me. Crisper, better colors, better text readablity, no pixel gaps, etc.
