The best games!
I need newly made modern CRTs. The salvage ones I have tested all have degraded image
Was it worth it tho?

It makes sense you’d be able to get a much higher refresh rate on a tube if you reduce the resolution, since you would be reducing the beam’s travel.

It’s been a while, but changing resolution on a CRT normally doesn’t make the picture smaller.

There is a limit on the spacing of the colour bands though. If you want colours then you have to hit the spots where the correct phosphors are and this limits the usable resolution.

Yeah I didn’t think it would make the “pixels” smaller, but the beam would need to pulse less often and therefore could travel more. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what they did.
