Re: Video camera CRT

Thanks for the link on that test moniter. After
reading the post by nick on adapting a video camera
CRT it looks like its probobly more hassle than its
worth. I was manly attracted to the CRT because the
camera was selling for $22. But it seems the price
isn't worth it if I have to spend hours and hours
trying to get it working. I will just have to keep
looking around for an afordable HMD. That test moniter
might be a possiblility. I think I will look on ebay
for it. Right now I am keeping tabs on some "virtual
reality" displays on ebay. But those would require
some hacking to get working. The test moniter would
only require a mounting setup. I wonder if it would be
worth picking up the video camera anyway to use the
optics from it with the test moniter. Due to the
configuration of the test moniter I might have to use
a mirror of some sort and have the test moniter
mounted virticaly or off to the side. 

Thanks for all the info
