They Have A Ring About Them 101 Comments The real holy grail for retro gaming is a 25+ curved slot mask tri-sync arcade monitor (without screen burn). My Ikegami curved shadow mask broadcast monitors are significantly better than my Sony BVM and PVMs. I’ve never found my Trinitrons to be noticeably brighter than my shadow mask or slot mask monitors. The theory about extra brightness is just that. ![]() Games with unusual refresh rates like Mortal Kombat, R-type and NBA Jam won’t sync on a Wega line and the image will roll. Sony’s Wega line is also super sync fussy which makes them a poor choice for arcade games. You actually lose fine detail on Sony TVs compared to a decent curved slot mask tube. Those that don’t know better think those jaggies are extra detail but they’re an artifact and shouldn’t be there. Old games look pixelated on aperture grille sets and it’s worst on the late model “fine pitch” tubes. ![]() Awful geometry and surprisingly poor convergence even on their $2000+ XBR models. The later models (especially the Wega line) are among the worst. Trinitrons were OK back in the day for movies but they look horrible for old games. His words got regurgitated into internet legend. That myth started with some display enthusiast called Fudoh who knows a lot about technology but he’s no gamer. I’m a retro gamer and I certainly don’t consider any Trinitron to be the holy grail.

Trinitrons also use a single electron gun, with three separate cathodes. The aperture grill blocks less of the electron beam than a shadow mask, which results in a much brighter image. Trinitrons use vertical bars of single phosphor color and a picket fence like aperture grille. The holes ensure that the electron guns hit only the red, green and blue dots of phosphor. Typical color TVs use a shadow mask - a metal sheet with tiny holes cut out. Closeup of a Trinitron tube shows unbroken vertical stripes which led to a brighter picture.Īll color TV’s shoot three electron guns at a phosphor screen. It was clear the company had to innovate, and thanks to some creative engineering, the Trinitron was born. The tubes worked, but they were expensive and didn’t offer any advantage over common shadow mask tubes. Chromatron tubes used individually charged wires placed just behind the phosphor screen. Sony Color TVs didn’t start with Trinitron - for several years, Sony sold Chromatron tubes. dives into the history of the Sony Trinitron tube. Their Trinitron tubes always made the best TVs and Computer Monitors. If you’re old enough to remember Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Televisions, you probably remember that Sony sold the top products. ![]()
