Yes, praise the almighty FW900 some more... That's what I live for! 😎 Also, thanks for mentioning FPGA solutions on there -- a lot of this is completely over my head (as it should be, since you're THE GUY for blur-busting, unless your name is a LIE), but I was wondering how FPGA systems might...

I've been thinking about this a lot today... If motion blur=pulse width, then speeding up sync pulses (shortening them) by increasing framerate reduces motion blur, which makes perfect sense since that's exactly why we want consistently smooth, high framerates while gaming and such... Probably...

I remember seeing a lot of this on your site, but thanks for posting it again here to refresh my memory! It's pretty cool to hear from Mr. Chief Blur Buster himself! 😎 For some reason (custom resolutions?), my FW900/Windows 10 PC does NOT like the various tests on there... Sometimes they work...

So I have a rather pointless and dumb tinker-quest I've been on lately. I made this post on Blurbusters (shameless plug) a little while ago, and they didn't seem to think it made sense or would work, but I figured I might as well run it by you fine, fine people and see what you think. I play a...

I refuse, there are like... a few handfuls of us! Our lobbying power is unmatched! LIES. LIES AND SLANDER! HERESY, I SAY!!! 😳😳😳😳😳

I love my FW900 to the point where it's probably my prized possession if I had to say, as someone who also "rediscovered" CRTs as an adult and realized what I'd been missing out on, but I can't argue with how inefficient they are as far as power consumption, size, weight, etc. Not to mention the...

Kinda curious if anyone has had any luck with 1440p@60hz over various VGA converters out there, especially now that the PS5 apparently supports it.

I'm really new to this whole custom/tweaked drivers thing. How exactly do you guys recommend getting started or attempting to learn about this stuff? Is installation generally as easy as just using DDU to uninstall the official one(s) and installing a different one you find pre-assembled on some...

I removed mine due to some EXCESSIVE scratching on it, and I think it's still rather okay, as I do use it in a lower-light controlled room. That being said, I don't have another one running with the coat still on to compare, but the black levels seem pretty great still to me if you did feel...

Love me some OSSC! :) Does anyone seem to have any consensus on whether newer Nvidia or AMD cards are better for use with the FW900 or CRTs in general? If only they still had native analog out lol... My trusty 980 Ti finally died on me for good, and I'm not sure who to buy from in the current...

Sorry if this has been asked before and beaten into the ground, but in the interests of my own future reference, do we know which analog card is better for performance on the FW900 as far as the 980 Ti or the Titan X? I would assume Titan but for some reason Passmark has the 980 rated higher?

I can post all the CRU stuff I want, but I don't have any issues with Windows, only the RetroTink 5x Pro's 2560x1440p output over HDMI. Seems to me that the creator had to possibly cut a few corners in getting a 16:9 1440p mode working, as the unit only originally supported 1920x1440 4:3 and...

Do you think it could be a capacitor issue? I know these monitors are 20 or so years old at this point but they're also built like tanks so I assumed the caps might still be okay for a little while yet. Could always be regular wear and tear or mishandling over time as well. In other news, I got...

Isn't DVI-DL only easily converted to DP if it's... what is the term, DP++ or something? Or do you mean with an active converter?

That's a shame, not too surprising though, but I appreciate you looking into it. However, I've heard a few people say sometimes these DAC chips actually can output higher than advertised, it's just that the marketing often centers around more common or appealing resolutions like 1080p or...
