Comment All that and the TV isn't a PVM / BVM (CRT) (Score 2) 40

He goes through all this cost and effort, and it's just some generic LCD TV? Most seriously invested retro gamers would go for Sony's Professional/Broadcast Video Monitors (P/BVM), as they display old games the way the game devs intended. Because LCD screens weren't in common use back in the day, game developers expected a certain level of smoothing which CRT screens would naturally apply. For that reason, most game developers designed their sprites on and for CRT displays. These high end Sony monitors just happen to be some of the best CRT displays around. Thy're Trinitron displays, as opposed to shadow masks, and they use higher quality phosphors than the consumer grade ones. But it is what it is. He can do what he wants with his money. It just seems like an odd decision to me.
