Calling all CRT owners: photos please!

I don’t know if this is the right place, but here are some real Nintendo DS and PSP LCD photos.

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.

At last some proper CRT photos using appropriate ISO, so as not to overexpose the phosphors on the bright colours. https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/s/8ApTuc8QXZ

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

Red phospors bleeding over green one even if not much excited.

Retroarch 15khz native mode, Picodrive emulator with video options set to CRT, with Scart RGB, no rainbow effect, no transparencies, just stripes. @sonkun

And this is real hardware Pal Mega drive with Scart RGB:

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

The picture on that also looks amazing.

I have released a new edition of my CRT photo collection (and a book edition too). You can read about it here.

This is my new acquirement, 14" Philips combo VHS, it looks new, it didn’t work because something mecanic of the VHS was wrong and I sent it to fix. It was my mother’s. Colours look better than my other sanyo, also the image is sharper

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.

I managed to set Sonic Mania on 240p

Very nice for that kind of game.

I found on the internet the code to enter the service Test mode from the remote control of my Philips CRT so I could calibrate the colours and brightness better, I found that the brightness was a bit low at max settings and I couldn’t raise it more, so the SMPTE setting on the 240p test suite wasn’t showing the black and white bars, but now it’s ok, also the instructions of the service Test mode says that the the temp color has to be set at 8500k. I’ve improved the overall image quality quite a bit thanks to this.

EDIT: If you are interested, maybe you can find your CRT model here if you need to calibrate it too:
