So I found a old sony trinitron tv in my uncles basement while helping to clean it out and he said i could have it. how do i hook it up to my modern pc to properly emulate old games on it tho?

VGA or hdmi to low latency component

>>715707295 (OP)
you need the right adaptor, obviously

>>715707379
how do i know if its low latency?

free shrugs

just buy actual hardware and play the original games
if you absolutely must emulate then ideally you want an old gpu that has vga out or something like that. maybe pick up something like an old amd radeon hd 7950 on ebay for cheap. dont bother using powered adapters from amazon to get your modern system on a crt - i've tinkered with multiple and the image is always fucked to the point that you're just better off playing on a flat panel with crt shaders. just buy original hardware i promise its fun

depends how accurate you want it to be.
a regular crt tv will only display a 240p 60hz video or 480i 30hz video (I'm leaving out PAL / NTSC / custom timing modes for brevity). Your computer probably can't even run at such low resolutions, so you would have to downscale from something like 1280x960 to 640x480.

You would need an HDMI to Analog (SCART, RGB, Composite, Component) signal converter. For a typical consumer American TV you will probably only have the composite (the one yellow plug). Not sure if there are even any converters that can do HDMI/DP to component at real 240p 60hz. This is because these plugs are mostly to just display ANYTHING on an old tv or projector, they are not meant for gaming and high quality picture and low latency.

If you want a crt monitor to use with a PC it would be 10x easier to use any normal VGA pc monitor. CRT tvs are only good for systems that were intended for them, like VCRs and home consoles, old micro computers.

Oh I forgot to mention it's PAL tv so all it can do is 50hz i think

>>715708049
Yes and you have SCART (pic rel) which has pins for both composite and analog rgb (separate pins for red, green, blue and sync). RGB is the best quality you can get on a TV like this, so you're good on that front. But everything I said about hooking it to a PC still stands. You can buy HDMI to SCART adapters but how good they are I have no idea and my gut feeling is that they will be shit, because like I said, these things are not made with retro gaming in mind, rather it's to display a laptop to an old ceiling mounted projector to display something at a company or a school.

OP do not fucking buy this thing, this is one of the exact units i was talking about in my post >>715707810. they're total shit (im also using on PAL w/ rgb scart)

So my intuition was right...

I have a display port to VGA adaptor that has 330mhz of bandwidth and can do any custom resolution I tried (up to the bandwidth my monitor can handle). I haven't used it in a long while so I won't be able to post any pics, but I managed to run it at for example 640x480@165Hz (the max refresh rate of this monitor), 1280x720@100Hz (with black bars) 1600x1200@75Hz (max resolution)

>old gpu that has vga out
not powerful enough to emulate
