Recommend me a CRT?

BettySwollocks86 · 2025-04-28 18:46:58

I have a Nintendo 64, a MiSTer FPGA, a PS2 and an Amstrad GX4000 that would probably all benefit from a good CRT. Could someone give me some pointers on what to look for? Wouldn't need anything too big ….a 14" would probably suffice. Only other feature I think I would need is RGB……budget would be around €300 max. Thanks!

Fadó fadó I had one of these. It was the monitor to have.

Don't know anything about availability today though. I'm not a gamer either so this monitor might be nothing like what you need!

300 euro is absolutely loads. Just keep an eye on adverts.ie for a 4:3 Sony Trinitron. You'll get one eventually, they're listed there fairly frequently.
