Best HD CRTs?

[Guspaz]

They start at $250 USD for the Monoprice model...

The RSX GPU does feature a scaler, but Sony only enabled horizontal scaling for developer use, possibly due to a hardware flaw. For instance, Wipeout HD uses a dynamic framebuffer for its 1080p output, as explained in this article.

Good to know and very interesting. I knew Wipeout HD had a dynamic resolution but I for some reason didn't make the connection that that would require scaling of some kind.

This TV is pretty amazing for 240p content. I used the 240p suite on the Wii and it handled everything flawlessly. Playing PS1 games on my Ps2 through component is pretty great too. Currently I'm using the Nintendo Wii/Sega Dreamcast/Xbox(modded)/Xbox 360 on it.

looks great

downside is, there's a bit of lag in all modes but 1080i. how severe is the lag in your experience?

Also : I'd be curious to see 240p on this, if you don't mind doing another video

It's actually pretty good. There's a few service menu settings I recommend changing. I frequent AVSforum quite a bit and have played in the menus and found that HDPT = 0, YSOW = 0 and finally MIDE = 63 make the biggest difference in lag. I'll mess around with it more this weekend.

Where did you find info on the 63 number for MIDE? I found a lot of threads where people weren't exactly sure what it did but mentioned having it on 8 might be good.
