My friend has an amazing collection of vector arcade games. It got me obsessed with them. I really wish XY displays were still widely manufactured, the experience is completely lost on other displays.
- rbanffy 6y agoI think we could replicate some of that with HDR panels. At least the Tektronix DVSTs could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-F7ZySfgZ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-F7ZySfgZ0
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoWhat is an HDR panel and a DVST? The video is a tektronix 4006 storage tube.
- rbanffy 6y agoDVST stands for “direct view storage tube” which is what Tektronix called it. An HDR (high dynamic range) panel could more easily replicate the writing process, which was much brighter than the persistent brightness. Vector displays can have extremely bright traces and points if they stop the beam or move it slowly.
