lol yeah, how do you explain that i can't stare in a CRT monitor for more than 8 hours compared to ~15 on leds?


CRTs WERE good years ago when a 100/120hz monitor would cost you a shit load of money, and even back then they were worth it for FPS games, nothing more really.


Nowadays not even the most retro hardcore fps gaymer doesn't use CRTs because better and obvious choices exist.

also they're fragile if you drop them because you can't get a proper hold on the awkward size and the weight causes it to slip through your fingers and fall down the stairs

>Nowadays not even the most retro hardcore fps gaymer doesn't use CRTs because better and obvious choices exist.
come on now, personally i think CRTs are ridiculous but you can't deny legions of hipster wannabes and /vr/-type nostalgiafags swear by them

>>59652838
Nah CRTs were pretty high res by the end of the 90s, they just didn't get the useful aspect ratios we have today.

Wrong.

People don't use CRTs anymore because they're hard to find, and contrary to what OP says, they wear out and break.

If I could buy a brand new high end CRT today, I would prefer it over anything else.

>that fucking sound they made
good riddance

>>59652930
CRT computer monitors don't make any sound.

>>59652930
>>59652938
Yeah they did, high power + age = dying capacitor whine.

>>59652938

I'm glad for you you couldn't hear it.

>>59652930
>sound
I'm not a fucking bat

>>59652893
come in eastern europe and i'll sell you 10 of them, barely fucking used.

Sorry to say this, but it's the first time i've heard this shit and it sounds retarded.


If that is truly the case in US, if so many people were interested in buying CRTs for whatever reasons, i bet there would still be at least one company to make some.

>>59653020
The thing is nobody wants to TRANSPORT them because they're retarded heavy and made of glass. Also without any scale they're pricy again.

>>59652787

Still got a Bang & Olufsen TV from '98 (beovision mx6000). This will be the best TV I'll ever own and I already dread the moment it breaks and have to buy a TV that looks as shitty as our current phones and monitors.

>>59652947
>>59652949
CRT televisions made noise, because of the flyback transformer oscillating at 15.75khz. VGA monitors oscillate at a minimum of 31.25khz, well outside of the audible range for humans.

>>59652892
Made me reply. Fuck you.

>>59653044
TV's probly did whine. I don't remember. But it was the capacitors.

>>59652892
>cheap
>durable
>has a semblence of viewing angles
no such tn exists

>>59653053

No it's the fly-back transformer.

CRTs are cool and shit, but they are inconvenient as fuck. if you're into using CRTs, maybe as a photo or video editor, that is completely fine. if you like to use CRTs for their """""high""""" (depending) refresh rates or whatever, that's also fine. but dont call that shit the "true redpill of computer visualization", when it's just a pain in the ass. btw, 4:3 isnt even comfy, and good luck finding a 16:9/16:10 CRT that isn't going to cost you out of the ass, isnt used, and doesnt weight 120lbs

>protip: you cant

enjoy the headaches tho OP :+)

>>59653020
I'm also from eastern europe and there's just as many of these still in use by various businesses and schools as there are old ones in storage.

From my experience of looking at them for 20+ years, they're just buzzing eye cancer.

Nostalgia driving people to say how FPS gaming or something is just superior on these monitors. Yeah of course a high refresh rate is great, but did you forget about the blur and the flicker in dark rooms? Or how it attracts dust like the 20kW dust magnet it is?

You're not very good at this meme, are you. You're supposed to imply that only one benefit can be obtained, yet you present one benefit and one disadvantage. Unless firing x-ray radiation from the screen is a good thing, it is obvious that the benefit of not causing cancer would be chosen over it.

>>59653053
>>59653075
this guy is right, I am a vr fag with crt tv's and monitors for old games. Flyback makes the whine.

the only sounds my monitors make is the zrrt-BWANG-fsh when they degausses at power on.


>>59653115
You can touch anything on a crt safely if you stick your finger under the suction cup looking thing on the tube to isolate yourself from the circuit.

>no high hz refresh rate meme
but most CRTs go at 85 Hz in their native res, and i bought a CRT specifically to get 144 Hz (by lowering the resolution)
1280x1024 @ 85 Hz
1024x768 @ 115 Hz
800x600 @ 144 Hz
640x480 @ 160 Hz (the absolute maximum for NEC FE990)

>>59653431
>Mfw 1600x1200@85hz
>1900x1440@73hz

>>59652787
But can I get a 40" CRT with digital connectors that support 4k at 60Hz or more?

why can't some manufacturer just start manufacturing CRTs by modern standards
>too pricey
no shit, that's why it would be an expensive niche product

>>59652803
>he thinks CRTs have crap image quality
*retarded shitposter*

>>59653941
*kys*

>>59653912
why would someone pay probably a multiple thousands of dollars for a newly manufactured crt when they could get an old one that's just as good for nothing?

>>59653962
>he is le buttmayd because crts are better than """"""muh 144hz ips maymay gayman lcday"""""

>>59653962
Yep that's pretty much the reply of a person who has run out of arguments.

>>59653973
that's why i said
>modern standards

we could have 9001Hz displays today

>>59652787
>no high hz refresh rate meme
Nigga what? If you're going to shit post do it right. This was the one thing CRTs where good at.

>>59653109
It is better for desktops. Square resolutions are for portables. Apple got it.

underage retard spotted

>>59654232
They had a wide range of refresh rates at different resolutions. They were all tuned to different shit. 1080p at 85hz in 1999 is pretty great.

>>59654250
>4:3 is outdated and bad because it's old
yeah right.

Using a magnet on the screen to get that funky ball of color was sweet tho

>>59654318
It's old fashioned. You don't see movies in the cinema in 4:3, do you?

>>59654325
You don't see them at 16:9 in the cinema either.

>>59654325
So? This is about work, not movies.

People that want CRTs just buy them used. Companies always jump on the latest tech bandwagon to save their profits so there's little hope for an actual business being built around that.

Now that high-end LCD monitors can do 144Hz the only reason to use CRT monitors is to play games at non-native resolutions without the image looking like shit.

CRT are still usefull when you want a ZERO input lag display.

I have a SONY 32in 720p TV connected to my game consoles and the zero input lag makes a noticeable difference.

All this lag is considered normal now, it's discusting.

>>59656491
>I have a SONY 32in 720p TV connected to my game consoles and the zero input lag makes a noticeable difference.
HD CRT TVs have image processing that will cause input lag.

>>59656050

This, it's what I use mine for.

>>59654013
>>59653973
Actually when you think of it, 4k CRTs would be easier to manifacture. The resolution is really only limited by the grill and incoming signal.

don't CRTs historically have better colors too?
and less ghosting?

On the Sony Trinitron you can disable aloof that processing. You still get it with an HDMI connection but not with component.

FYI the super fine pitch Trinitrons could do just under 1080p, something like 1035p that's at 60fps and 60hz and have no trouble down sampling.

Some of the CRT monitors we capable of over 200hz and some could do native 2k resolution all with no lag.
