I use them to pad the bin. I only really had one decent one at home, a Trinitron, but they really don't last that long.

>>56651148
LCD monitors got mainstream about 10 years ago, so you are either a kid or got a computer in your late teens, both make you a faggot.

It seems as if you're aging quite fast, already having forgotten basic grammar rules, fresh out of school.

Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements. An absolute phrase is always treated as a parenthetical element, as is an interjection. An addressed person's name is also always parenthetical.

Hint: The comma goes before "you faggot".

They are still superior to non ips screens in everything except for power consuption and have faster response time and refresh rate than most ips.

When my 4 sony trinitons my grandpa gave me got replaced by LCD's in around 2010, we took them out to his range, and had a blast shooting them from a distance.

Mine are currently sitting on my garage until I decide to fix the VGA connections.

Accepting CRT donations for academic purposes. We use them while conducting Visual Psychophysics experiments in our laboratory.

My last one died 10 years ago
It was a big one, at least 35kg for a 19"
I was really sad because at the time I hated flat screen for some reason
>>
I picked up a Dell VX1120 for like $5 and I ditched my QHD Korean screen for it because I genuinely prefer it. Made in 2000, 2048x1536@75hz, no "native" screen resolution so no scaling issues, and better contrast/black levels than an LCD. Plus, 4:3 makes way way waayyyy more sense for web browsing and shitposting than widescreen; fucking every website is designed with a 1280x1024 monitor in mind.

I wouldn't say it's perfect for everyone, but CRT as a technology was abandoned for all the wrong reasons and I think everyone should be mad about it. Here's to OLED though, I hope.
>>
I have a Sony WEGA TV for retro game consoles

Other than that I have no use for CRT monitors
>>
how to use imac g3 as monitor?
that's the only thing i have CRT
>>
>>56654393
just so you know artists, movie studios and color graders have been scrambling to buy up Sony monitors for like seven years
>>
>>56651148
You would have had to never touch a computer until about 2005 for that to be possible. Either you're backwoods or 12.
>>
>>56658514
So you are saying I shouldn't throw out my Sony Multiscan 300sf?
>>
>>56652073
They won't be outdated until we get OLED. LCD still has some major flaws, so depending on what qualities you prioritize, CRT might still be objectively the best for some people.
