Old CRT monitor as a PC Screen

This 4" black-white tv was built in 1970. I connected it to my pc with a cord from the videoboard to my videoplayer, and then another cord to the 5" tv.

wow, my win 98 computer has a 500 mhz processer did you geet some type of video card to play this on that tv?

[themacintoshguy]

Since this was 2 years ago and I don't have the computer any more, I can not answer really sure, but I remember that in my computer, there was a PSI-card with a S-Video-output, and I uset it to connect the computer to my VHS-player, and it has a coaxial cable output, so I connecdet it to the TV. The TV does only have a coaxial input.

@windoes98se I had two systems(i had one Gigabyte video card,AGP,very cool)that could be hooked up to TV (i did that twice,first with a Pentium 133 then with a Celeron)via Composite out.Sadly both died,the P133 would not show BIOS,(that was same with the Celeron)and the Celeron died instantly.It sparkled a little when tried to turn on (i didn't had a Power on button).Funny was that the TV was PAL,and video card NTSC,resultin in a B/W image on both PCs. :D

I am learning to mod out computer cases and I want to find a means of intergrating my small battery powered Tv's CRT screen directly from the computer for a Nastalgic computer case (steam punk design).

Contrary to what one person said, and from your Tv - it looks like the resolution is plenty sharp enough to use for such a purpose. Do you have any idea HOW to do this? It would ideally be part of the case - like the Tv sets back in the late 40s & early 50's. A tutorial would be cool!

well , thats a good idea , 85 Hz is usually not as bad as 60 , but i think TV displays are diff. from computer monitors so the refresh=>damage criterion maybe doesn't apply ?? 0_0 ;; what sort of TV is it? might be able to use that as ur computer mon. using S-video.
