Watch as we connect the world´s fastest CRT Gaming Monitor to a modern PC and push it to 255 Hz in Windows 11. Behold the incredible results as we further use a special anti-aliasing technique to get great image quality even though we only play on a very low resolution. Thus we eliminate the only draw back of modern gaming with CRTs on modern computers and all that is left are the advantages of this display technology, like lightning fast speed, no input lag and almost instant response time.

02:25 How high can we get with the refresh rate on this Monitor?

    Somehow, this topic makes me really happy. CRTs, Voodoo accelerators... Loved it.
  • @TechSid-hn6eg
    ah so thats why games looked nicer in old times. so our nostalgia is actually correct lol CRT monitor are definitely much smooth and the graphics still looked nice
  • @blacktick6171
    Please record more videos with this monitor. Picture quality seems be amazing.

    On the other side, go for interlaced and it will do 3840x2400 (16 : 10) at 72Hz with an absolute crystal clear and very sharp picture. I have to test high res interlaced on my Vision Master Pro 514, see how the sharpness is. I just wrote a test report on Reddit about this a few days ago, after testing on both Sonys GDM-F520 and FW900, via the Intel UHD 700 iGPU and an external DisplayPort to VGA adapter. Very exciting stuff! Absolutely love the flexibility of the CRT technology!

    Ah, the magic of CRTs! I retired my last 17" one 5 months ago after using a few as my main monitors for almost 8 years straight, and that is literally the last one, it seems, because I can't find any others in good condition around my region here in Brazil. I used every resolution possible on that thing; having a maximum vertical refresh rate of 160Hz and horizontal refresh of 71kHz, it could do 640x400@160Hz no prob, though I usually had a res of 480x360@160Hz for perfect 4:3, or a "super resolution" of 1280x400@160Hz to mitigate the aliasing, though it required games to have custom aspect ratio options (very few have it). It could do higher super resolutions, like 2560x400, but my GTX 960 would start chugging, and I wouldn't really enjoy the higher refresh. I still plan on using that GPU as a native VGA adapter for the CRT, coupled with a better GPU as the renderer, whenever I upgrade my PC with a good mother board and CPU to conform that setup. People say it would introduce lag, but I really cannot find a good HDMI / DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

    Sehr gutes Video 👍🏻Röhrenmonitore sind immer noch eine tolle Erfahrung!
  • @phantomtec
    Motion Rendering in Arcade Smash type games with pixallated explosions are second to none also on CRT monitors and in turn extremely gratifing to use for this case also. Thanks for the video. Peace:hand-purple-blue-peace:
  • @Hi-levels
    I used to have a crt when i was a kid. That must he why there wasnt fps issues
  • @jorge69696
    Now that N64 are getting native PC ports, this is your chance to run them at 320x240 and as high of a refresh rate as it will go!
  • @bjornna7767
    800x600, guess some old fart GPUs wanna step into the game again with FSR, GT710: Hold my capacitors!
  • @Fredkeyb
    I have the 514pro and also play Doom ethernal at 250hz/480p. Didn't know about the filter, thanks for the tip! I usually play Modern Games at 1440p and 60-85hz depending on how demanding the game is for my 3080 (with Vsync even 60hz looks smoother than any LCD)
  • @agfa1854
    I run interlaced 240hz 1080i on windows by using intel igpu passthrough. great performance
  • I still have a Sony Trinitron WEGA CRT. It’s approaching 30 years old and still works like new. 1080i, 720p, and 480p. It makes a seriously liquid appearance that just looks fantastic. And as you cited it’s not fixed pixel, making it by far the best way to game with older consoles and DVDs. The plan is to build a dedicated stand for it with shelves for every old console I still have, all feeding into an older Marantz AV receiver that can convert everything into component video format. I’m just thinking on how I’ll position it in the guest room.
  • @jittertn
    I wonder why new CRT monitors with modern specs/technologies are not being developed. It has its uses cases where its vastly superior to current tech.
  • @Jordo619
    Does that monitor have a claimed vertical refresh rate? Like in the owners manual does it state 160hz, 180hz, etc? I'm interested about what makes it "unlockable", would love to do it on my monitor. I have an Acer P911
