Depends on the new monitor and your use case.
Compared to cheap TN panels old CRTs will have nicer colour and viewing angles.
If it was a very high end monitor it might very well be high resolution, and the 4:3 aspect ratio is very nice for documents and web pages.

Where it went wrong was when people decided that worse colour and refresh rates were an acceptable trade off for not having a 100lbs of desk occupying glass tube. Not gonna lie, they're right. CRTs simply use too much space and energy.

tl;dr CRTs are too big, heavy, and use more power, but better in every other way.

why do normies have to ruin everything?

>>381190701
you've discovered the truth that you have forgotten over long years of LCD indoctrination
now it is time for you to fall down the rabbit hole, seeking CRT perfection

NAH BRAH
Normies were happy with 12" 50lbs screens taking up literally the entire surface of the desk. It was the familiar tube that they had in their living room that made the computer just like TV.

The nerds needed their precious desk space for real work. The nerds were weak and couldn't lift a 50lbs 12" screen, let alone a larger screen. The nerds eyes started bleeding from the barage of light from the cathode ray gun. The nerds needed a new way. An esoteric way. Liquid crystal. So crazy it just might work.

Unlike normies who wanted pretty graphics and good looks, you don't need awesome colour or refresh rates for a terminal. You just need something to output text.

Face it, if it was normies choice, we would still be using CRTs.

CRT's are objectively superior
>faster response times
>superior colour
>no motion blur
>no pixilation
>superior contrast

only disgusting lolicons who prefer their monitors light and small would choose lcd's

>the image looks like shit, even if I get the brightness and contrast the way I like it the image is still grainy as fuck and weirdly stretched and it often looks like there's a huge lump in the middle horizontal row
I don't see any logical reason to prefer that, you must have nostalgia goggles the size of a VR headset.

>300$ for a monitor that's inferior to the one you had 20 years ago

i think it's because we grew up with crt monitors, so they look better to us than the new lcd one's

You have a shitty CRT TV is sounds like. Pic related would make your PS2 era games look great, especially if you had component cables.

SED was the foreseeable advancement in CRT that would've enabled monitors to maintain superior color and feedback in a smaller package. Due to disputes over technology rights and various other factors the format never became commercially viable.

Is that a trinitron?

People fell for the thin meme, same with phones. Worse product but oh look it's thin.

>>381196283
What's worse in phones? Speakers suck more often than not (and companies employ tech that compresses noise so music sounds shitty during calls... but not really relevant)

Battery life.

>>381196806
Batteries are the bottleneck in every mobile related tech. Maybe Tesla's cooking up something good.
