CRT with s-video from GPU. Is the best ?

[patrickfx1]

Hello folks,

   quick and simple question.  I have windows 10 connected to an old but good TV CRT television.  The GPU (video card) use the s-video OUT connected to the s-video IN tv.  All good since 5 years.  I'm very please with it. 

Now, my question is...in some cases, specially for new gun game, I need more power from the PC and GPU (I have another pc with i5, gtx 960). but has you can imagine, new GPU dont have s-video out. 

Last time i try to convert HDMI to s-video was not very good.

What is my option ? 

Time to change to a LCD ?

Use that i5 with old s-video card GPU ?  (Since it is essentially the CPU that work with MAME) ?
 
Use a very good converter from HDMI to s-video ?

Buy a reel arcade monitor ?

Yeah, it's not meant to cover everything, it's meant to get you asking the right questions and realising what sort of things you want to know

To circle back.  I abandon the CRT, I jump into Full HD 42".  Another world, new things appears like the ability to read game description in menu in Big Box
Allow newer arcade title for gun and drive wheel on my cabinet.

Overall I lost the spririt of CRT  but overall I don't regret.  No more video issue also !
