For this to be achievable I need a DAC, correct? Can you recommend one?it should also do 1440x900@120hz since that requires slightly less pixel clock.

AMAZING!
It blows the nVIDO one in my 980GTX away and is even better than AMD DACs! The cheap aMAZONe DAC I got has LCD level clarity. I thought the blur of my monitors was just an inherent CRT property, but it was really a case of send shit in, get shit out.
No. The refresh rate has no effect on CRT clarity. You are probably using a crappy DAC that can't handle the bandwidth. I will send you a link to the one I bought on amazon when I check, later. I thought the same thing you do, but once I used an external DAC, I relized the truth. 1600x1200 @ 85 looks as good on my eDAC as 1600x1200 @ 50 on the on GPU one. If you interlace, 180Hz on eDAC is as clear as 100i on GPU. Too bad it only does 225MHz, but 16x12 @ 85 (or 180i) is OK for me.
I'm skeptical of this claim, but I remain open minded.
Would a 225MHz DAC do 1920x1440 @ 75Hz or 72Hz or 70Hz?

This is rabidz where he said delid a 3960x and posted a core 2 extreme quad. I would take anything with a grain of salt.I'm skeptical of this claim, but I remain open minded.
I'd buy both, JayFkayy, not sure what the hold-up is. Are they both really expensive or something? The most I've payed for a CRT in the past 5 years is $50 (21" Lacie), but most of them were either <$20 or free.
If you get both, you can use the W900 when you're playing widescreen-only, low refresh rate games (like Street Fighter 5, which is 16:9, 60fps only), and you can whip out the F520 when you're playing a 4:3 capable game that can play at higher refresh rates (like the upcoming Battlefield 1, or any other popular shooter)
could you paste the link for that specs?just for curiosity, when looking at the evga webpage, and search in products for the gtx 1080 and 1070, and looking specs and details for those cards, the 1070 is listed as analog vga compatible, in both specs and details, it list "Max Analog : 2048x1536", i checked for the 1080 so maybe all cards listed the same by mistake, but for the 1080s only digital resolutions are described, interesting.......
Have had my eye on this for a while as an alternative to the current hdfury offerings
Extron Digital to Analog Converters - DVI-RGB 200
does 1920x1200 60hz max if I read the user guide properly, Not exactly amazing but would work very well for consoles via an hdmi adapter. Extron build quality is also very good from my experience
edt: Went ahead and ordered the older 150 variant which is limited to 1080p 60hz for $40 shipped. Will report back after I get it
HD Fury 3 would probably be a better option, it can do 1080p at 72hz. Probably similar pixel clock to the extron, but the HD Fury guys had a big focus on eliminating input lag. You may be rolling the dice with the Extron.
Do let us know how it works out, though.
Honestly, if HD Fury doesn't come to the rescue, might be time for some/one of us to take one for the team and learn how to build our own External DAC's. Who's with me?!
Has anyone had luck with the HDFury Nano GX and the latest PS4 firmware update (3.50)? I can't get HDCP working with it.
It's cool that you have one, too. I can't find much user info with the usual web search. Niche product, I guess. I did send them an email about it.Oh crap, don't have a PS4 but I have the Nano GX. Is it just movies that don't work or are you not getting picture period?
If it's no picture period, then you can try hooking upl the PS4 to something else and resetting the video mode to 720p or something.
Either way, HD Fury website has a forum and the developers may be able to help you out (or they'll just tell you to buy Dr. HDMI).

It works when I disable HDCP in the system settings (LED is steady green with USB 5V connected), but enabling it blanks out the display output (even though the Nano GX was supposed to have taken care of HDCP issues with the PS4 from descriptions on the site and past reviews). I'm guessing Sony blacklisted the EDID with a recent firmware or something since whoever tried to take HDFury down. Xbox One still works fine.
I don't know, I'm just guessing. Maybe mine is simply borked. Xbox One works like a charm, though (however it doesn't require the extra 5V). I'll see about posting on their forum.That stinks, I've had to use my Nano GX to get HD video to play from Amazon Prime, because they will only play SD if they detect a CRT monitor/other non-HDCP display. If Sony blacklists the Nano, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time for the rest of the services do.
It really feels like the media companies are just trying to force us to buy new monitors, because I highly doubt pirates convert movies to analog to rip them. I'm sure they have better ways.
Been emailing the HDFURY peoples. Crowdfunding for a 500+ dollar device may be possible. I wonder how much interest there would be.

WOW. so at .00006, what was the calibration set to? Surely if u set brightness to 10cdm2, that figure would be moot. But if you set it anything over 90cdm2, then its an amazing figure But hey, its CRT ! I had an NEC diamondtron, but at night you could still see black background glowing greyish. I really don't know why i wasn't able to get good results out of a premium monitor back in 2002. The luminance was also low . The focus was also screwed up and it took me ages to find a 12" probe to focus it. I guess thats the luck I got on ebay >.>Black level and peak luminance depend on how you calibrate it. The black level can go quite low. See this thread, where I measured it to be around 0.0006 cd/m2. Peak luminance can probably go quite high, but if you follow the WinDAS steps, you end up with a value of around 85-87 cd/m2

You and that fancy i1 Pro.

0.0006 not 0.00006
Brightness and contrast were at the defaults (31 brightness and 90 contrast). This was all done in the white point balance adjustment using WinDAS. Keep in mind that these figures represent dynamic contrast, not static contrast. So it's great for scenes that are really dark, like a star field, or when there's a black period between two scenes. But the black level rises considerably on the FW900 when a light patch is neighbouring a dark patch.
Ok that's pretty good n the dark scenes. Well is there still contrast punch in mixed scenes, despite measurements? And can you get refresh rate OVER 60hz in 1080p (or next neighbor res)?0.0006 not 0.00006

Good news, they sent me a firmware update, and now all is well.
