In the biggest On Trial ever, Professional Video Monitors have been charged with being too overpriced to add to your gaming setup. Is it worth spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a professional tube, or has the PVM hype gotten out of control?
Learn the pros and cons of owning a PVM, how much it will cost to acquire one of these prized CRTs, and whether there's a viable way to emulate the PVM retro gaming experience.
This episode guest stars @RetroTechUSA and Mike Chi, creator of the RetroTink line of products and the upcoming RetroTink4K, who both offer their expertise in the rising costs of PVMs, and whether an FPGA scaler can replace the professional cathode ray tube.
