CRT MONITOR

[faceman123]

Anyone know if i can get hold of a CRT which can do 160hz ?

 

[ExRayTed]

Of course you can - Ebay is your friend. Anything with the last Mitsubishi Diamondtron tubes should do 160hz vertical refresh. Delivery is likely going to cost more than the monitor though..

 

[mejinks]

Can I ask why? Just out of personal curiosity.

Can't stand CRT monitors, they give me the headache from hell.

^ Shouldn't do, if refresh is set high enough

Also interested in why the OP needs 160hz

CSGO i used to play at 200hz. masssive advantage. My 144hz 1440p is **** comapred to CRT colours and refresh rate wise. please someone sell me their crt

It's only CS:GO players who want this haha. One of them once said to me that 120hz on a crt is faster than 120hz on any modern panel.....

Whilst I can't argue about the input latency the refresh rate simply is no different and I'd rather not get eye cancer from a crt for that 1/50th of a millisecond advantage

Happy to be stood corrected though

i'm on 200hz @ 800x600. on ilyama 454. I'm really serious about it being a lot faster then normal 144hz monitors. The screen feels more fluid and responsive at LOWER hertz then the LCDs

 

[pingu666]

wonder why that is?, think when crt refresh you get a 1 2 inch black bar between frames

That is going to be the case unless you use an LCD with ULMB mode. Its the motion blur that you are seeing on the LCDs that make them seem not as crisp and fluid. ULMB basically stobes the backlight of the LCD to mimic a CRT sort of.

Best monitor ever, I have one myself

Sell it to me I would love a second

I could barely give away my Iiyama VM 454 about 9 years ago, I can't believe anyone would want one now! It was great in it's day, and though I appreciate maybe others can see the refresh differences better than I, I can't understand why someone would want a desk bending monster in this day in age. Not to mention the headaches

Loved my Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451, bought in 2001, died in ~2011. RIP!

 

[Twirlywoos]

Someone has a NOKIA 445 Pro on Blur busters that does 340hz

 

[stooeh]

I still have my Iiyama but colours are bit meh on it now. Got it in maybe 2001 but it wasn't the top end VM so 'only' does 120Hz I think at low res

1600x1200 75Hz 19"

 

[faceman123]

I wish someone made modern CRTS. Honestly they should be banned from CSGO such a major advantage. Literally i kill em before they even spawn

 

[SoundsGood]

Must stop search ebay for CRTs...

I had a 22 inch Diamond Pro years ago it makes my back hurt just thinking about it
