HDMI to RCA not working on small B&W CRT.

[TheClazMan]

I have a 5.5" black and white portable CRT TV that I have been trying to hook up HDMI to for a while now. I am using a cheap HDMI to RCA converter which works fine on a regular TV but not with this one and I've tried switching NTSC/PAL to no avail. I have seen videos of people getting HDMI on a black and white TV before by using the antenna wires but mine has a dedicated RCA input and the antenna only has one visible wire. Any suggestions?

What HDMI converter?

May be a mismatch in the type of video signals sent/expected... Or just a bad video (yellow) input on the TV.

Ebay Link One of these cheapo converters and what do you mean a mismatch?

Like composite video vs. rgb -- converter putting out one type of video, TV expecting another. Chances are that is not the problem.

Why not use a high definition 6.5" cellular phone's screen with proper aspect ratio?
Or a 10" tablet that weights twenty times less and takes fifty times less space?
Not only you have more pixels for 4K movies but colors too, more than just two...b&w.

Some YouTube channels are in 4K.
