Topic: Anyone game on a CRT?

I've recently went from playing retro games on the Wii U on my flat screen to spending a couple hundred bucks on a true retro gaming setup (SFC, flash cart, TV, component cables etc)

I have a Super Famicom hooked up to a Sony Trinitron KV-20FV300 via HD Retrovision component cables.

As bulky as the CRT is, I can't see myself going back to flat screen. I've really missed scan lines and there's just something about the color scale of a good CRT that you can't get out of an LCD. Darks are so dark and lights are vibrant.

Anyway, just wanted to see who else is rocking the old CRTs on the forum.

I have one I use with my Wii and SNES.

I have a small collection of CRTs of different models and sizes. For instance, I really like how NES games look on my 7" Sony Trinitron. But for 16 bit games I like a bigger screen.
The CRT went away but tube technology was made for the old 2D Art. And it looks like a thing of art when you get a 8-16 bit console running on one. LED has nothing on those phosphor illuminated screens

^so true! It sounds like I'm just a guy who drank the CRT Koolaid but it really is impressive to sit in front of a good CRT with a 16bit system. There's something there that LCDs can't replicate.

I keep them around. Got three different CRT models (one is boxed and stored away though), not because I specifically like the way games look on CRT TVs, more so because I haven't found a reason to ditch them. N64 and GameCube stuff can look better on a CRT I think. Maybe because that's the way I remember playing them, or because the games weren't made for big flat HD screens. I know that framerate is often optimised for 50 or 60Hz in older games, but I'm not sure how that would affect visuals or gameplay on non-CRT TVs. Need to double check on that though.

Yep I have a few of them. Usually when ever I see one at a garage sale, or thrift store for a good price, I snag it.

My PC is using a CRT

Overall though, would you say you actually prefer the quality (colour wise, not resolution) overall even outside of playing old games? Or do you feel CRT's are only good for Retro material?

Just as the older games are designed to look best on CRT TVs, newer games are best appreciated on their contemporary TVs.

Specially if small text is involved.
