Re: Need help on choosing a CRT
Hi dude!
Trinitron are known to be great displays.
The Barco one seems to be a monitoring display so it should have a great image quality. However it's the first time I hear about this brand and I don't know if it worth it.
What I can say is that Sony is 9" larger.
Can you tel us where will it be installed? In a cabinet or standalone?
It will help people to give you more accurate advice.

Re: Need help on choosing a CRT
Well, they have some differences :
Even if it's not a professional CRT it's a good choice for retro gaming as it can display beautiful images. Lots of settings are available in the service mode menu.
What do you intend to plug on your CRT ?
I didn't find information on the Barco monitor. As many other professional monitors it should have BNC inputs, not sure for a scart connector. It should display great images as well.
Hope This Helps.
- The size : 29" ( Sony ) vs 21".
- A consumer product ( Sony ) vs a professional monitor.

Re: Need help on choosing a CRT
Thanks for all the info.
My plan is to use it standalone to connect my PC to it, as I don't own any old consoles.
Was also thinking if 29" would be a bit too big ... but I think I will go for the Trinitron because it is cheaper
What cables/OS is needed to connect PC to TV using RGB ? (never done it )
Thanks again.

For RGB porko gave one way to do it.
You can also use SVHS which is not as good as RGB but give great images. In that case no need to have an hazardous cable, hazardous because lots of people complain about it. With a standard SVHS cable, an ATI Radeon card with SVHS connector and compatible with calamity drivers, you're good to go.

Re: Need help on choosing a CRT
I'm a little bit late, but always take the Sony Trinitron, they have excellent technology. However, the technology used is a little bit different, so you have better sharpness, more vivid colors and stuff, but some developpers intended their game to be shown on "shadowmasks" TV where the colors kinda bleed, with ghosting and overall fuzzyness and it helps with "blending" some effects/arts on 2D games. Sometimes, playing on a trinitron kinda feels like playing on a LCD with scanlines compared to playing on a "Shadowmask" TV (pretty much all of the other TV), but Trinitron is the superior technology
