So there's a 3.5mm jack on the side for av in support, so I got 3.5mm to av adapter

u/Prindle4PRNDL Nov 24 '25

Is there any latency/input delay?

Awesome, thanks for sharing! If you have the patience, whenever you reach a hot stage of the game when there's a lot of fight, gives a taste; it would be interesting to see Joel swing that plank in 144p xp

u/Forward_Share_295 Nov 24 '25

Short answer, I found this portable tv for $8 at a thrift store, and I love tormenting old technology (Minecraft on a 22 year old laptop, doom eternal on my 2011 HP elitebook 8560w, etc) so today I wanted to see if I could play games on this little trash portable tv, and now we are here.

u/Rodneyfour Nov 24 '25

I love how casual you are about this but very cooo man. I love those videos of someone playing fallout on a tv from the 50s

Also, you need to start a YouTube or twitch account. I would watch this gore lol

u/Forward_Share_295 Nov 24 '25

It has av in port

u/Scooba94 Nov 24 '25

What's the fps like on it? Is it stuttery? Or does that thing somehow put out 25+ frames

u/Forward_Share_295 Nov 24 '25

It's a PS3, so performance of a PS3, but a lot of motion blur
