Console to PC CRT monitor Adapter

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:10 pm

Where can I find this. https://www.estarland.com/DefaultPage.c ... 24083.html It has all 3 ports I want, Composite, S-Video, Component. and want to use this on my IBM CRT monitor since my consoles PS2, XBOX, GameCube and under will display better on CRT monitors then my 32" SONY 1080p HD Tv.

Honestly, for the price you'd end up paying for one of those boxes, you can get a decent sized CRT TV from a thrift store.

It just comes down to how much space you have, and how long you're willing to shop around.
My "daily drivers":

T520 (4240-48u) - Core i7 2620m (2.7GHz), 8GB RAM, 80GB mSATA SSD, 1TB HDD, nVidia NVS 4200m (Optimus)
T43p (2668-VQ7) - 2.26GHz Pentium M, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB HDD, Radeon Mobility FireGL V3200

I don't have much room, and I already have a 19" Sony 1080i LCD Tv, but the older games don't look good and look better on the CRT monitor. I used the USB capture card but it flickers.

That much is true, and is the primary reason why I still have a 28" Phillips CRT TV sitting in my family room.

Maybe this would suit your needs.
