Calling all CRT owners: photos please!

Went to a retro gaming event (Revival Retro 2024, Wolverhampton UK) where they had old consoles and arcade machines setup on display and free to play. Took some close-ups of the CRT’s on showcase.

May I request “The Ooze” for the Sega Genesis with composite video? The color of the ground in that game is difficult to calibrate and reference material is lacking. An output comparison would be fantastic.

Street Football (1986) arcade in the film The Accused (1988).

I think it is nearly impossible to not overexpose; or maybe that’s not the right term:

That’s sexy. Looking at those shots remind me of this thread I saw earlier:

The picture on that also looks amazing.

I received a Sync Stripper sometime ago, which was necessary for my multisync monitor (Eizo Flexscan 8060s) to be able to receive signals from my consoles over RGB SCART (background on Sync). I also got a MX4sio for the PS2, testing games now. Here’s a few shots.

The monitor shows a scanlined look with 480i/576i. Depending on the game, this can look better than 480p/576p imho, the monitor image is quite soft in highres progressive. However, I find fonts somewhat strange looking sometimes with interlace. 240p/288p looks as I would expect.
