    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    So it does have the DVI-I layout? Some of the pictures I've seen had the DVI-D layout instead Definitely takes some pictures if you open it up. I'm guessing the analog pins aren't soldered. Would be really nice if we could find a datasheet for this chip

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Ok so I think I have a big update on this. Way back when I first tried this adapter, I had to run DP to a Sunix DP-Alt USB-C card. I had some random lines going through the screen, and my max pixel clock sucked. My best guess is there is some incompatibility with the Sunix Alt-DP card, thought...

    I've read that colorimeters can drift over time. Not sure if that's what happened here or what.

    Easa you should be asking those quesions after you do a WinDAS adjustment, not before. Because the adjustment might fix most of those problems. Especially the green tint.

    New 72hz monitor, should I run it at 60hz?

    If it doesn't do 72hz, you can use 48hz for movies. And 50hz for PAL

    Asus ROG Swift PG34WCDM with 34" WOLED Panel, 240hz

    There's like 30 OLED monitors coming out this year. I don't know if it will be a good idea to have a separate thread for each one. Maybe it'll be better to have a thread for each type: 4k, 1440p, ultrawide, double ultrawide

    New 72hz monitor, should I run it at 60hz?

    A lot of racing is recorded at 50fps too.

    New 72hz monitor, should I run it at 60hz?

    I don't know if this is true. If you right click on youtube videos and click "stats for nerds" you'll see a lot of them are 24fps. And if you really want your OCD escalated, right click on videos produced in Europe

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    Are you using one Picture Mode globally or something? Because the Gigabyte has like 8 different picture modes to choose from and you can edit gamma and brightness in all of them

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    Ok, so you're saying you still notice the texture of the screen? I'm just curious because I've never seen one in person (I have the glossy Gigabyte FO48U) Seems like any sort of noticeable texture could be a problem given the very tiny pixel pitch of 4k

    Only 600+ MHz DAC I know of is the one built into analog AMD GPUs. You can unlock past 400MHz with Toasty X's pixel clock patcher. There may be an external DAC out there that beats the Sunix but nobody's discovered it yet. To my knowledge

    Given that the Sunix DPU3000 clones are basically sold out across the globe, I wish we could mod those laptop docks that have the same Synaptics VMM2322chip. You can find them on ebay for around $10 easy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174760379580 These things are literally available by the...

    You were still using the FW900 as your primary monitor? haha, that's many years of intense usage, so still impressive. My Diamondtron 2070SB rebadge only gets used a couple hours a day at most, if I happen to want to play something from PC/Switch/other consoles with 480p support or higher...

    Speaking of flybacks, I read a post a couple weeks ago on Reddit that said sometimes flyback issues in the FW900 are misdiagnosed, and it's actually the electron gun that goes bad? Either way, I guess keep both components until you know for sure what's going on.

    r/crtgaming and the associated discord. Let people know you're looking for a beat up, as-is FW900, or at least the flyback from one. I think there are a few other Sony monitors that used the same flyback, Definitely don't remember which ones off the top of my head.

    You haven't heard of vsync? Frame rate = refresh rate is the only way to get correct motion clarity on CRT (well, any display, but especially CRT) And there are many ways to greaty reduce or even eliminate input latency with Vsync. Check out Latent Sync in Special K

    A lot of good info in your post but I gotta take issue with this one point Sometimes lyou don't want to use the highest refresh rate, like if the game is capped at 60fps, or if the game is heavy on the CPU and is dropping you below your max refresh. Or if your GPU just isn't a beast. Like on a...

    You could try Savon Pat in Huntington Beach. He's an old Sony PVM repair guy but he might be willing to take on a PC monitor. The number of blinks the light is doing will help you determine what the specific issue is, make sure you tell Savon when you message him. If you decide you don't want...

    I hope you understand that, if high quality BFI ever comes to gaming monitors on large scale, it's going to be partly due to this thread. I mean, it'll mostly due to blurbusters.com.

But some of the pictures show...

    ASUS Rog Swift 32 inch PG32UCDM with 31.5″ QD-OLED Panel, 4K 240hz

    I'm jealous of the uniform brightness option. That should have been a standard option on all OLEDs from the start. The up and down brightness of my Gigabyte Aorus is really my only problem with it.

    2070SB CRT Monitor With 50,000 Hours

    5k is amazing dude. This tube is going to last you a long time as long as the flyback hangs in there. Blacks aren't the only major advantage to CRT Motion clarity is even more important. But you gotta use some type of Vsync method to keep your frame rate matched to the refresh rate. Low lag...

    And you can take any random GPU off ebay and throw it in a 1x slot. You just have to cut the back "wall" of the slot so the card can settle in all the way.

    DLDSR was a pretty awesome upgrade to that though. Gets similar downscaling results for like half the frame cost of regular DSR, if not less

    That does look quite good! This is why it's good that Digital Foundry is nitpicky. They dive deep and experiment and learn about these types of features, then spread the word.

    I think some modern graphics tech works better on CRT, by accident. Like TAA. It can look grainy and noisy on LCDs, but CRTs add some smoothness to make it feel more film-like

    yeah downscaling is great, I just know DLDSR might give you more performance, so you could feasibly run an even higher render resolution

    Windows display settings>adavanced, then check “active display mode” There a possibility this could be wrong as well, Nvidia might obfuscate it, you want to double check by bringing up your monitor’s OSD and check horizontal kHz DLDSR will give better results:
