1) Perfect black levels 2) Flawless off-axis viewing 3) Much faster refresh rate than LCD 4) Warmer, more natural image (thanks to scan lines and small granules) 5) Far longer life-span 6) Not subject to manufacture problems such as dead-pixels 7) Good range of compatibility with lower or non-standard resolutions without blurring
Given ultimate space and money the world's best CRT could easily crush the world's best LCD. So tell me Sup Forums, why do you like your inferior screens that companies such as Samsung have brainwashed you to think is better than what already existed? The only cost-savings are on their end.
And the funny thing is you guys keep buying this crappy LCD technology and giving away your free CRTs on Craigslist. A fool and his dollar are soon parted I guess.
And before you start yapping about IPS panels: Enjoy your slow G2G response to switch pixels already, not to mention that hidden input and scalar lag. Luckily, CRT has no such bullshit.
The only semi-legitimate point I've heard against CRTs regards weight, but you don't bitch about the weight of a prospective couch while furniture shopping, do you? Didn't think so.
>the weight of a prospective couch while furniture shopping I consider the size of it before everything else tho
Eli Parker
And it looks blurry regardless of the resolution you use.
Jonathan Hughes
My 144fps 1440p IPS from Eizo is pretty sweet. The only thing CRTs do better is resolutions below their native one.
Jaxon Taylor
Trinitron doesn't.
Josiah Powell
>thanks to scan lines and small granules almost thought it was non-ironic.
if you're not, my ips has better colors and just as good viewing angles. i don't care about 4ms lag. but it's not a fucking radiative lightbulb which can literally make your vision worse
Wyatt Sanders
The only use I have for my CRT is emulating old video games accurately. Nothing else can compare to that, but beside that I don't have much use.
Robert Torres
um no sweetie. They perfected the technology in 2001. We aren't discussing novelty trash from the 80's mk?
Josiah Brooks
crts do black levels better you dense fuck bitch
Justin Clark
fix your convergence faggot

>Under some circumstances, the signal radiated from the electron guns, scanning circuitry, and associated wiring of a CRT can be captured remotely and used to reconstruct what is shown on the CRT using a process called Van Eck phreaking.
Gabriel Adams
Why haven't you gone flicker-free yet? Do you really hate your eyesight that much?
Jaxson Martinez
I was already using LCDs by this time so I wouldn't know.
Caleb Hughes
Send me a GDM FW900 then. I'll take it.
Gabriel Peterson
Enjoy your cancer.
Austin Peterson
are you saying alphabet soup can can steal my pepe remotely?
Jordan Walker
Maybe in the beginning of LCDs this was once true. Probably with cheap trashy LCD it's still a thing.
Most likely though, a modern top-of-the-line LCD from say EIZO or another professional vendor wipes the best CRT in every of your points.
Jace Garcia
>my 14 yr old CRT is still living while my 1080p LCD died in 2 years Point 5 is accurate, it's a shame that my CRT is severely limited in resolution
Hunter Kelly
>more natural image (thanks to scan lines) Yeah because real life is full of scan lines
Fuck off retrofag
Jonathan Reyes
Did you even look at the image you posted ?
Daniel Richardson
VA or good IPS is way superior. Don't compare a cheap gaymen IPS screen to a monitor that cost much more when it was new
Christian Campbell
Enjoy getting cancer from beta radiation, OP
Parker Russell
Bitch, I have a Trinitron display from 1999, and apart from my Eizo I mentioned above it's the best monitor I ever owned. As crisp as any LCD. Even more so if you have low resolutions because it doesn't use interpolation and just leaves unused pixels blank.
Connor Roberts
I much prefer having perfect geometry.
Brody Collins
8) Fuckhuge lenses in the glasses.
Jordan Wilson
I only like CRTs for old games. The lack of input lag is really sweet and the colors are nice.
I ordered a cable to connect my PC to a CRT TV via RGB SCART. Apparently with the ATI Pixel clock patcher and the custom resolution utility, it's possible to use a modern AMD GPU with latest drivers and still be able to output at those really specific super resolutions and 15hz. Will see if the thing finally fucking arrives.

That's fucking radiacl
Jayden Hill

John Scott
>Warmer, more natural image You can have practically any colour balance with both LCD and CRT, STFU.
Angel Jenkins
That's not a lense. Anyway checked.
Owen Perry
Strobing is essential for good perceived motion at less than a couple 100Hz frame rate (simply having high refresh is not enough). On a CRT motion is fluid at very low refresh rates.
That's why there are flickering LCDs, but they can't manage to get close to the 1ms flashing of a modern CRT phosphor.
Well, it's 15 bucks so if it doesn't work the way I expect it, there's no real pain there. And if it does work I can toss that Wii I have for emulation in a garbage can and have something much better.
Joseph James
Sure dude, CRT's are awesome. Please invite me over to your house so i can check out your 27" 4K HDR CRT monitor, which takes up half your basement and uses half your city's power grid. Then after that lets make a call with your sweet Nokia 3310!
Hunter Roberts
Show me an ultrawide 3440x1440 CRT.
Hudson Wood
Any CRT that can sync at 110KHz will do that easily. Mine goes up to 200KHz.
Landon Rogers
Plasma panels are the real shit. Still running a 2008 Panasonic plasma. The panels themselfes are super fast, lag only comes from the input controller. Blackness and contrast are also very good. The image quality is a lot better compared to my 2017 LED LCD. Sad they discontinued plasma development. Power consumption is crazy though
Nicholas Campbell
Hdmi connected lcds are also suspectible to this
Jeremiah Cook
I think you're too young to have used one. In a few more generations young techies will sound like hippies talking about Atlantis whenever CRTs are mentioned.
Grayson Gutierrez
>Perfect black levels There are plenty of other systems with perfect black levels and none of the drawbacks of CRT
>Flawless off-axis viewing Incorrect. The curved screen makes viewing at wide angles much worse than LCDs. I was at an arcade a few days ago where they had a SNES set up, and as I walked past I could only see 2/3 of the screen because eventually, the other side was obscured behind the horizon of the monitor.
>Much faster refresh rate than LCD That's not true in all cases, and at any rate, the higher the frequency of a CRT the more noticeable the flicker from the electron gun scanning across the screen.
>Warmer, more natural image (thanks to scan lines and small granules) No. Just no
>Far longer life-span Can't really say anything for or against this point, but lifespan is more a factor of build quality then of the technology itself.
>Not subject to manufacture problems such as dead-pixels Fair enough.
>Good range of compatibility with lower or non-standard resolutions without blurring I think you mean that the analogue gaussian blur of a CRT is better than the digital stretch of an LCD, which is true, but you're a retard if you ever send a signal below native resolution to the monitor.
You also fail to mention any of the gaping problems of CRT tech, such as burn in, weight and size, flicker, scanlines, blur from poorly focused electron gun, colour bleed, power consumption, etc etc.

The weight is actually a benefit. You ever see Tyrone snatching CRTs? Nope
Jordan Collins
Can you list the display techs in descending order of quality and explain in short why they get the spot they got?
Andrew Evans
This is just my personal opinion, but SED/FED Laser rear projection OLED IPS LED CRT TN Any form of projection except laser rear projection
Also keep in mind that different use cases will result in different rating for different tech. CRT obviously comes dead last if we're talking about phone screens, but first if we're talking about oscilloscope displays.
Asher Price
IPS and LED aren't mutually exclusive dummy

Probably around IPS, but I'm pretty sure it's expensive as fuck.

I like its black level, too. The problem is, it's really power hungry and as heavy as the fattest negro.

Nicholas Hall
Better models come screen coated to prevent this.
Kevin Nelson
>far longer life span Wrong. Carts also flicker unbearably like a strobed LCD at all times due to the nature of their operation. Sample-and-hold displays are much easier on the eyes and thanks to new 240Hz panels, sample-and-hold motion blur is getting very low. At any rate, once mid-sized OLED panels are ready for desktop monitors, CRTs will be 100% outclassed even in the minds of the most delusional CRT holdouts.
