I don't understand why LCD's replaced CRT's. Why couldn't we just keep investing money into CRT's and make them better, instead of abandoning them? LCD monitors and TV's have been around for more than a decade and they still suck outside of ludicrously expensive professional monitors. OLED has a lot of benefits but they're very expensive and have color degradation.

Jesus christ you people are so fucking lacking in any self awareness.
Huh I wonder why something that takes up a fuck ton of space, soaks up tons of electricity, and often only came in 4:3(muh Sony ultra expensive and rare 1080 widescreen CRT) was killed as soon as possible
Believe it or not, most people quite frankly don't give a shit. Most people aren't using their monitor for detailed schematics, photo editing, or film production. Most people use it for facebook, video games, word processors and general web browsing. which, does not need 100% color accuracy, or really high refresh rates.
If you want a really nice flat panel display, you're going to have to pay for it. Just like if you wanted a really nice CRT display, you had to pay a premium for it, hence why there was only maybe 3 CRT models that did half the shit you imagine they do.
Learn 2 economics. Most people dont want a giant ass cube in their living room, or taking up 90% of their workspace you fucking retard. I think CRT's are cool too. I think vinyls are neat as well. but not being able to understand why they arent around anymore is just inane. Fuck its like everyone here is 17 years old and just trying to be trendy on fucking Sup Forums of all places. end your life holy shit

>+easily overclockable Modern LCDs can do refresh rates are high resolutions. The best CRTs could maybe manage 1280x960 at 96-100hz, maybe 120hz for the absolute best.
>-poor colors outside of IPS which is a premium IPS is cheap. It's even in chromebooks these days. The best of the best are expensive, but even those aren't THAT expensive.
>-poor input lag Depends on the display.
>-terrible blacks Black levels are far from terrible in 2017. In decently lit to bright conditions LCDs actually outdo CRTs thanks to the fact that LCDs polarize incoming light as well as outgoing, whereas CRTs reflect and scatter it.
LCDs replaced CRTs because they're far cheaper to produce, can be made into a far greater variety of sizes, and are incredibly cheap to ship compared to CRTs. The capabilities of modern LCDs is beyond what CRTs would have ever achieved in the real world. Rec2020 color spaces, HDR, High PPI are just three huge quality improvements that would have all been difficult on CRTs.

>Modern LCDs can do refresh rates are high resolutions. The best CRTs could maybe manage 1280x960 at 96-100hz, maybe 120hz for the absolute best. That's only because they stopped being produced though. They had Interpolation/Black Frame Insertion TV's pretty soon, as even TV manufacturers had to admit LCD's look like blurry garbage for anything fast paced. But true 120Hz LCD monitors didn't come out until 2009 for 3D, and only later did they become cheaper and more common. You had to either gamble on a cheap overclockable Korean panel to get higher refresh rates, or buy an expensive 3D Lightboost monitor. Even now it's difficult to find something that's both a high refresh rate and a quality panel at the same time.
Joseph Parker
It's even more difficult to find a CRT with a high quality picture. Most are garbage shadow mask displays which are on their last leg. The fast IPS panels are going to get cheaper and more numerous over time. CRTs are just going to get rarer and rarer.

Christopher Young

Caleb Johnson
Literally every LCD without backlight strobing looks like blurry trash. Again, even LCD manufacturers knew this was an issue, as they quickly came up with interpolation and BFR to solve the issue the best they could. Remember when we use to be able to read scrolling text easily? Not unless you have a CRT, plasma or projector. At 144Hz text is more readable but it's no where near a CRT.

Colton Rivera
>LCD strobing enjoy your crosstalk
Gavin Mitchell
>this is bullshit and you know it You can literally go buy 1920x1080 120hz+ monitors right now.
>typically bigger sized CRTs could do bigger resolutions and refresh rates CRTs were limited by the horizontal scan rate and RAMDAC. The highest RAMDAC output you'll see on consumer hardware was 400MHz. The best horizontal scan rate you could wish for, even on professional CRTs, was 144kHz. CRTs of that caliber couldn't physically do 1920x1080@120hz, they can't scan the beam fast enough in the vertical direction. Even if you had a magical CRT that didn't have this problem, the RAMDAC issue is still going to bottle neck your CRT's resolution and refresh rate. If I remember right you'd be lucky to get somewhere around 75-80hz at 1080p on a CRT. After that point any video card you'd want to use would simply not be able to transmit that much data. It's also a big issue considering most modern video cards don't even have a RAMDAC.
>CRTs starting from 20" are the only good ones No, the good ones were aperture grill displays such as Sony Trinitrons. They came in all sizes.
>my 21" CRT I bought for $30 some years ago can do 1600x1200@95hz and I use 1088x680@160hz to play FPS games no burn in Post your timing values then.
>great colors and brightness CRTs have objectively low brightness compared to modern displays. They're literally unusable in sunlight even.
>the perfect combo Or just get another quality LCD that has a strobed backlight.
>just because you only used 15" CRTs with recommended resolution of 1024x768@75hz doesn't mean the tech itself is not good That's a nice assumption, but it's wrong.

Brody Walker
Maybe higher-end optical mice are nice and actually work, but I've gone through a half dozen shitty red laser mice and have since moved to an old Dell Ball mouse that is less error-prone, works on virtually any surface, never catches, and has survived not only however long it was used for its first run but 4 years of use now. And while the rollers do need to be cleaned every 6 months or so it's better than getting tiny hairs and fibers caught in its sensor every other day leading to it spazzing out until you clean it.

CRT's they are pretty cozy
William Wilson
Even the most casual normie gamer ever can tell the difference between 60 and 90fps, much less 60 and 120fps. The fact that LCD monitors made 60Hz the standard is fucking garbage, and they were stuck there for the longest time due to the response times not being able to keep up with the refresh rate. Regardless of how you feel about CRT vs. LCD, the loss of higher refresh rates was a DOWNGRADE. 75-90Hz used to be recommended, now it's 60. That's an objective downgrade regardless of if you care or not.
Jose Myers

Plasma was the replacement technology to CRT but retard normies didn't understand how to use it so the tech got BTFO. Now only OLED can match 6 year old plasma tech.

LCDs are shit for gaming and always will be. They will never be as good as CRTs period.
Kayden Ross
what did he mean by this
Jackson Young
He isn't wrong. What killed CRTs is how much they weigh. It's just not practical and it costs an arm and a leg to ship. Also you typically want to improve on power consumption over time not increase it. If monitors kept getting wider, bigger, whatever, CRTs would not only weigh more but also use more power.

72Hz is the sweet spot for smooth motion actually, it's why 3d monitors changed from 120Hz to 144Hz. (72Hz for each eye) 60fps has never been good enough.

Julian Sullivan
I think people have rose-tinted glasses with respect to CRTs, they really weren't that great. I'd take a good LCD for gaming over my old Trinitron any day. Yes it had some advantages but come on, it's huge, uses tonnes of power, the picture is never a perfect rectangle, contrast isn't as good as most people like to claim (try switching from a fully black to half-white image and see the black areas increase in brightness significantly due to light bleed).
Having said that, I can't wait for OLEDs to get good at motion so I can replace my plasma.

I like to play twitch shooters on it or watch old 4:3 anime on it. The colors are way better than my other screens. I can also go all the way down to 800x600 and play at 180hz I score around 146 on humanbenchmark consistently compared to 177+ on my 144hz lcd. All the resolutions scale perfectly on CRT btw so they don't look bad.

72Hz is the lowest multiple of 24Hz that doesn't strobe to an annoying level that's why film projectors strobe at 72Hz, displaying each frame 3 times
