shut the fuck zoomer. CRTs were made for standard definition content. you probably have no idea what it actually looks like but it looked WAY better than those shit rips you see on YouTube. The BEST way to watch SD content will always be CRTs. the BEST way to play certain video games will ALWAYS be CRTs. die mad about it. your oled fires light right at your eyes too, dumb fuck. we're they heavy? yeah. how often do you move your tv though? is that really a factor that matters? plasmas were WAY harder to handle in that regard.
and yeah they work a real real long fucking time. I have a consumer model from 94 in my bedroom, it was barely ever used in its day so the picture is unbelievably crisp. I have a professional model from 91 that is so crisp it will knock your fucking socks off, I guarantee it. 5- 10 years... HA ive seen working crts from the 1960s! OLEDs are just as burn in prone as CRTs and if you think anyone's retina was burned youre even more retarded than you sound.
the product wasn't shit, it was invariably more reliable than modern displays.. I do custom av installs and have for years I KNOW lmao there was no software there was no bugs, no cec, no edid NONE OF THAT you gave em the signal and they fuckin displayed it, end of story. now do you want to argue about 1970s amplifiers cause I'll clean your fucking clock on that subject too you smarmy zoomer cunt.
Shut the fuck up, Zoomer. I still have them and there's a reason I don't use them on any modern system. SD content is 480p max. Yes, old video games look okay on CRT's for the exact reason I said, faggot. And yes, moving a television is hard when you have to, and as you age, you end up not being able to move it at all. It's like a very shitty piano, or less useful anvil.
I'm sure that it does last a real long time when you don't fucking turn it on. No, OLED's are not nearly as bad as CRTs.
If you have a 60's CRT, then I pitty you for your monitor sized screen on a television weighting in at 75 lbs that you literally can't connect anything to, and can't see any broadcast television with.
You're an idiot if you think it's more reliable. As you said, when you don't use it, it works great.
I want you to pick a good old product, you fuck-witted retard.
who the fuck said anything about using them on modern systems? that's just as retarded as trying to watch SD on a modern television. I am old so I watch old shit.. like old recordings of broadcast television. the only way to watch it and have it look right is using a CRT. and thats a fact. do old games look OKAY??? Yeah that's why every composite upscaler has crt filters, faggot.
I didn't say I never turn it on, I said it wasn't used much in it's day... meaning the THIRTY YEARS it sat in my neighbors kitchen being used for a few minutes evey morning to watch the news before they left. I use it damn near everyday.
I do not have a 60s crt but have seen them working. let's check in on an OLED in 50 yesrs and see how it goes.
they were absolutely more reliable. do you know how many fucking stupid issues I deal with all the time with retarded TV OSs doing professional installs? do you know how many times I replaced basically new tvs that shit the bed for seemingly no reason? they were more reliable by nature because they were vastly less complicated. you're retarded if you can't understand that.
they actually were common in PAL regions... think they started broadcasting in 16:9 in like 94 or so over there. sony called em super trinitrons, cool shit.. but academy (4:3) will always be king in my heart.

You could get 16:9 HDTVs near the end, they just werent as common, and they cost an arm and a leg...

huh.
shame none of my ntsc content would look right on a PAL tv, but oh well.
