What the fuck is this love for CRT? Whether it's new or old, it isn't warranted.
Seriously, 240p resolution where you can physically see each pixel on the screen, and games were designed with art direction that intentionally utilized the light emitters to smooth out edges on the glass, while they also fired light directly into your eyes, and were insanely heavy.
"it worked forever" until the parts literally fucking burned out, or the emitters actually burned your fucking screen, let alone your retina. Which, normally, would still have been 5-10 years.
This shit isn't like the solid, cast-iron, sewing stands from the early 1900's which were built to last forever. This is just cheap electronic junk from the 1990's which was still made in China and Indonesia with no intention to keep them working.
Seriously, pick a product that isn't shit. Like those sewing machines, or antique furniture, or even stone masonry for construction.
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.
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...

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