why is op moronic?
>People don't use old TVs to watch old movies or shows
Yes they do lol
There's a semi-valid agreement for the fact that the visual assets for old videogames where designed around being displayed on a CRT where as old film and TV weren't.
>implying any serious film buff is watching movies on anything other than an OLED or a nice projector setup
>People
No one said your normie friend is buying Trinitrons, anon. It's strictly enthusiast hardware. Which is why savvy resellers are jacking their prices up - they know they can get every penny out of someone trying to get a faithful experience of their favorite game.

No, that's not the implication of the post. You're illiterate.
old television shows were absolutely made for CRT, down to the assumption the edges of the frame wouldn't be visible.
holy moron, they werent made for CRT, they were made for 4:3 aspect ratio
Yes dipshit and accounting for the overscan was something they did and it's why DVD releases of tv shows never touched up the edges to account for LCD panels and projectors showing the entire frame.
>flat CRT never existed
Not while the vast majority of tv shows were shot in 4:3 no.
Nobody cares about rear projection either, those looked like shit and you got them at rent-a-center for the owl.
jesus christ you are moronic
>they weren't made for the specific display device moron they were just made for the aspect ratio that just so happened to be the same one used by every single display on the planet, and trust me they meant for that boom mic to be visible at the top of the frame when they broadcast it in 1968
>they weren't made for the specific display device moron they were just made for the aspect ratio that just so happened to be the same one used by every single display on the planet,
yes
moron
why do you think most movies are still 21:9 when streaming is the norm now and every single display is 16:9
Soul!
what does that turbo button do? is it like the doug button?
>people using old tvs to play old games
its autistic people, not regular people
>to watch old movies or shows
normalgays have been shilling VHS tapes to watch shit for the longest time. And naturally, on CRT's.
>samsung
>flat screen
at that point just use LCD
Using a CRT to play old games is only really “necessary” if you’re using the actual console to play them. 480i and 240p don’t usually play nicely with modern TVs, and most modern TVs don’t even natively support composite or S-video anymore.
I bought a new TV in 2019 and ended up buying an upscaler to user my old consoles with it because the included composite to 3.8mm dongle made games look unplayably shitty and introduced probably like a third of a second of input delay.
720*480 is minidv resolution.
You can watch it just fine on older 1366*768 and 1280*800 or 1280*720 displays but it looks best on old 4:3 crt Tvs because the minidv pixels are not square but narrower.
You get almost no letterboxing on all old tvs with it.
Try watching it on a 1440p monitor streched and its real bad, at 4K its even worse.
Some smaller 1080p are bad but tolerable.
Because movies aren't virtual. They aren't tailored specifically around that one screen format that is most popular at the moment.
Next time you better bait people with
>"why people play older games in 4:3 with these ugly black bars when you can play them in 16:9 just fine???"
with a photo of some shitty 16:9 monitor with stretched GTA:SA on it.

like god intended it
>People don't use old TVs to watch old movies or shows
Just download the non cropped torrent of the internets.
That's a cropping issue. You could easily just watch it in 4:3 instead of the weird zoomed in version.
>People don't use old TVs to watch old movies or shows.
They should
>he doesn't know about my curb your enthusiasm season 1 dvd and my PS2 and crt
>People don't use old TVs to watch old movies or shows
Honestly they probably should.
It boggles my mind how many normies have TVs with motion smoothing and think it looks fine (or better even).
I have a CRT set up that just continuously plays Seinfeld. I have another CRT to watch my tapes, and another to play videogames.

>People don't use old TVs to watch old movies or shows. So why should you use old TVs to play old games?
They do thoughbeit.
>zoomers pretending CRT were ever good the thread
99% of the people who actually go out and pick up CRT's and learn electrical maintenance to work on them are facebook boomers who've been using this stuff since it was normal to have in your home. This isn't a joke, you can look up CRT facebook groups and it's literally all old guys.

Going swimming in the hot summer of the early 2000's then coming into a freezing cold house to play FF7 on a CRT was an experience I wish you could all have, with *that* feeling, you know the one.
you guys know you can watch a 4:3 movie on a 16:9 display without it being stretched right?
There are people who like watching old shows and movies on CRTs.
there are people who eat glue
it wasn't glue, it was semen
I literally bought a 14" crt last week to play UMK3 on Genesis with my gf :3
