Reminder: Before Feminism, CRT meant a TV/monitor built like a tank that would last you a lifetime, not an even more shitty version of Affirmative Action... (techterms.com)

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.

Monitors could go higher thanks to VGA connections. But, that's the limit. The limit is basically 720p, which is good for a xbox 360. Not much past that.

You have no clue what you're talking about. Bog standard prebuilt retail monitors did 1024x768 at 85hz. A standard gaming monitor would run 1600x1200 at 85hz, and high end gaming screens would do 2048x1536 at 85-100hz.

That's higher than "2k".
