Welcome!
There are plenty here who still use CRTs in their projects (me included) and there are lots of resources for utilizing them, depending upon your use case and ultimate goals.

A few that come immediately to mind-

https://tubular.atomized.org/ (https://tubular.atomized.org/)

https://crtdatabase.com/ (https://crtdatabase.com/)

If you have questions just ask!
I'll help if I can but others know more than I.

Didn't know about the Tubular site, will be looking through that.

Just acquired a Sharp 32F641 which is borderline exactly like the Sharp 32F540 which IS on the database.

Though I am still trying to figure out what the distinction is between the two, so far its got mint image quality. Right now I've got it going through a wakabavideo vga -> composite/s-video transcoder.

In the process of upgrading cables and adapters.

Looks like a great set.
What are you using it for?

You can probably do better in image quality than S or composite if you use the component inputs, or rgb mod it.
