This may seem like a dumb idea considering how bad composite is, but I have a couple CRTs that I’d love to use as computer monitors, and I’m not in the position to mod them for component or RGB. I want them to “just work” for the time being. I’m looking for a device that converts modern HDMI to analog, but the only good options seem to be really high end devices with support for every format under the sun, which are great, but way more then I need. Otherwise, what am I left with? Cheap, no-name boxes that’ll die in two weeks and add half a second of lag? I’m not sure if the product I need exists, but I figured this would be a good place to ask since I can’t find a dedicated CRT community. Any help is appreciated!
These absolutely exist as I owned one, though technically it was DVI to composite active converter, but it had no issues with an HDMI-> DVI converter in the chain. I bought the one I had many years ago now though, so you might have to deep dive into some less mainstream sites. I wouldn’t worry too much about the brands being some nonsense, it is likely the same internal hardware as anything with a recognizable brand.
