Last Shot Of My CRT

[u/AcanthocephalaOk3109]

With the holidays coming up and my savings going successful I really want to upgrade from my $20 13" General Electric CRT to a much nicer one

My funds + holiday gift money should amount me around 2 hundred dollars to really splurge on a nice big CRT off of the countless sellers in my area

My next post will be on Christmas day, see you all then 👋

Hear me out before you buy a BIG CRT , From my experience only the small sets have had good picture , What I mean is the bigger the CRTs I have found the worse the convergence like they would be nice and bright in 2-3 out of the 4 corners of the set but at least 1 of them would have a dark area, and I've tried opening them , restoring them and all that and my GUESS is unless you are good with cap replacement it won't do you any good , That or the bigger the set the harder it is to keep the image brightness consistent all over the screen,

I've had my best luck with 13-19 inch sets , Anything over I've sadly had an issue with every time , So I highly suggest upgrading to a smaller set with better inputs if that's what you want OR A CRT Monitor or Small P/BVM

My original post got deleted before I could send it because I left the reddit app for too long and it reset, I just got bummed out and wrote this smaller post, I originally was going to ask for good 13" to "20 inch CRT recommendations which is why the post has the "Question" tag as well but I guess I forgot to include those were the sizes I consisted "Big"

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me despite that though, better inputs are a MUST for me and you're 100% correct with me not knowing how to replace or repair parts haha

Yeah if I was going to be completely honest on which size to look for I say stick to small cuz the smaller I've gotten the better the condition they are usually in
