As we all know, in addition to paying attention to the latest and fastest scientific and technological trends, the machine brother is also a nostalgic person.
This is not a recent attempt to play the old arcade and red and white classic games.
I don't know what's going on, it just feels like there's no inner taste.
Thinking about it can only be said that the machine brother's mentality has become impetuous, and he is spoiled by the CG-level picture masterpiece that is now moving.
Looking at these old games from twenty or thirty years ago, they will definitely be unsatisfactory.
Can't go back, can't go back, the youth of the machine brother is over.
Suddenly, I saw such a contrast again.
Sleeper, go back!
The machine brother explained to everyone that the left is the effect of the LCD liquid crystal that we look at every day now, and the right is the effect of using the CRT display.
For this picture, crT monitors are like beautification and filters.
It turns out that the protagonist in the game is not handsome, the goddess is not beautiful, not the illusion of the machine brother.
No wonder it is not right to play old games with simulators now, it turns out to be a problem with the monitor.
There may be a friend who does not know what a CRT monitor is.
To put it simply and crudely, it is the kind of big-ass monitor that used to be.
The name of the professional point is called cathode ray picture tube, generally referred to as the picture tube, and the liquid crystal was its world before.
Many people may still have such an antique big-ass TV at home.
Thinking that he had found the reason why the old game was not fragrant to play, the brother quickly looked for similar complaints on the Internet.
As a result, such a confusing operation was discovered.
Someone connected a computer running the latest Windows 11 system to an old CRT monitor.
You don't have to say that the new system is a bit old.
There was also a wonderful sense of shock, the eyes told me it was a familiar taste, but the intellect told me this 2021.
After reading the comments below, it turns out that many people have done this.
Why is this painful? Maybe it's like "picking up garbage", the budget is a little tight.
If you can use it, you can use it, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It is such an old product, there will definitely be some less compatible.
If you don't understand some technology, you really can't do this kind of riot operation.
There are more noisy operations, which are a bit difficult to understand.
Someone connected a next-generation game console that supports 4K to a big butt TV to play.
It feels like in another parallel world where humanity's sudden technological developments are locked up.
But chip technology is still soaring, and the combination of the two will have such a magical feeling.
There is also the up master directly into the computer motherboard into the ass of the big ass TV.
DIY has a CRT TV all-in-one, a bit like disguising the PS5 as a router.

After watching so many confusing operations, I don't know if the friends will be a little curious.
Why do these people love CRT monitors so much, it won't all be just for the sake of the whole work.
After rigorous investigation, the brother found that crT still has something.
For example, competitive gamers are most concerned about the problem of response speed.
In principle, LCD is to control the display of pixels through the rotation of liquid crystal molecules, and the speed is not very fast.
The actual performance is that the content of the display movement has smear and blur, and the friends who often play FPS games should understand it.
The principle of CRT is to use an electron beam to hit the phosphorescent material on the screen to display.
It is a kind of pixel self-illumination, the electron beam power is bright, the small is dark, and if there is no, it is not bright, and its response speed is faster.
As for the high refresh rate of the current gaming display, the CRT monitor is not bad.
Although the maximum resolution is generally about 60Hz, it can reduce the resolution to improve the refresh rate.
Some high-end CRT monitors can run up to a refresh rate of 160Hz, and it is not a big problem to control the esports games of the time.
In addition, CRT displays are not as sharp as peer-to-peer HDLDs.
However, for some low-resolution pictures, it can reduce the sense of aliasing.
However, the machine brother is going to say but again.
The machine brother checked it out, a 45-inch CRT large color TV, the weight has reached a staggering 200kg.
This size is also the limit, 70-inch CRT large color TV? inexistent.
Size limitations, technical complexity, high cost, and it is normal to be abandoned by the market.
Today, only a small percentage of people still read CRT well.
Mainly concentrated in the gamer community.
Their reason is also very simple, that is, that somewhat hazy retro taste.
Some old games on crT show effects, indeed more comfortable, Pikachu looks softer and more cute.
There is a more important reason for this difference, in addition to the special bonus of CRT for low resolution mentioned earlier.
The graphics of many old games will be optimized in a targeted manner, after all, CRT monitors have been developed for decades.
The graphics of the old game are a bit unsatisfactory to the LCD, and there is no difference between good and bad.
But those who pursue the original soup will have a special complex for the old CRT monitor.
From the perspective of the machine brother, there is even a bit of a "CRT god religion" feeling.
Someone sent a fake news that Switch was going to launch a CRT version.
There are still many people who pay attention to and look forward to it, and things have even spread abroad.
A bunch of hardcore players are really waiting to be released, until the fake news is deleted and debunked, and finally they have to accept reality.
Second, using Switch host mode to transfer to the CRT monitor, the experience is also good.
However, there are still old brothers who do not believe in evil and have to get a CRT version of the Switch.
He first found a Sony black technology product.
A Watchman portable CRT black-and-white TV released in 1986.
The hardest part is to transmit the picture to this vintage, the two products are separated by 30 years, and even the signal is not compatible.
The solution is that the digital signal output by the Switch base is connected to an adapter with a chip and converted into an analog signal.
The analog signal is then connected to an old-fashioned tape recorder, which can output an RF signal.
The RF signal is also enhanced by an amplifier and then broadcast through the antenna.
The last step is to pull out the telescopic antenna on the Watchman, adjust the frequency band, and the picture will come out.
Tie the handle with a cable tie, and the folk magic CRT version of the Switch will become!
The old man said that it felt particularly cool to play Metal Slug and Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The actual effect is as follows.
This operation, the adapter is strung into a sugar gourd, just to use crT to play the game.
Maybe these messy things are enough to buy a new Switch.
Brother Ji can only say that the value of faith is too high, and we ordinary people really can't understand it.
You say it's cheap, or if you have one at home, it's fun to play with.
However, those high-end CRT monitors with good performance are originally expensive, and they are still difficult to find after discontinuation.
Even the good quality has been fried to thousands or even more than ten thousand.
It's not so much about "picking up garbage" as it is about scouring for electronic antiques.
The brother has a premonition that there will be other products abandoned by the times to be re-excavated and retro.
After all, everyone can have such inseparable feelings.
Spending money and energy tossing and turning doesn't care about any performance at all, just to find the memories of the past.
