Retro CRT Monitors

Just use a converter that converts DisplayPort to VGA.

I don't think any of the sony PVMs have VGA as an input option.

it's a broadcast studio monitor actually

VGA to S-Video adapter takes care of that.

I have a cheap old computer monitor and an old TV. Both with really nice screens. Got both of them for free, and this TV shits all over my previous TV, that only had composite video and a pretty bad screen in comparison. I only use them for games, anime and occasionally a movie. Only old stuff. These things do have a limited lifespan, so I try not to use them more than necessary. I would get more monitors for the future, but I don't have the space now.


You are worrying about nothing. I did that as well, but then I realized that it wasn't worth it. When the things that you want to watch or play were made, people didn't have those CRTs either. Some people would argue that my TV is already too perfect, and that I shouldn't be able to see the pixels so clearly. The monitor is even better than that. It's really not necessary. Just get a VGA monitor and/or a TV with RGB or component video, depending on where you live. You don't need anything fancy, or anything capable of super high resolutions, you just need something that looks good for what you want to do, and computer monitors are already excessive for that, and the colors look great (and you can always make adjustments in the configurations if you need to). Caring about anything else is missing the whole point of using a CRT.

For an old console, even that might be considered too much, depending on who you ask. Composite on a good screen already looks pretty damn good (but you always want to have component and RGB, because TVs like that are probably higher quality, I assume). Also, don't forget that the stuff that I use is way more replaceable. If you buy an expensive monitor and the tube dies, you are fucked. Try to get something normal, for free or for cheap. From what I hear, even those are getting less common and more expensive, so do it now, before it's too late. Don't make me call you a faggot, faggot. Go get one now.

Best CRT for anime? Is a consumer Trinitron fine?
