"hello, fellow youths" is a meme for a reason...

I think 1080i basically cheated using the Interlace method that CRTs used for years, doing half the screen at once.

If you don't like them, I understand, but I do. =)

=P you could just keep an eye out for an old dresser or a bookshelf at thrift stores/antique shops.

Heck, keep an eye out for a rear projection or an old console tv that quit and gut the console, lol. Heck, a while back, somebody down the street had a rear projection out on the curb for free, but I didn't have a way to get it home safely, lol (I didn't have my truck, and I live on a hill)

yeah, but the problem is for the weight of the one CRT, you could probably ship a half dozen LCDs.

Half a plasma tv, though, lmfao.

no I know what you're talking about, though it never bothered me.

You could always tell when one was turned on, even when it was muted.

I'm sorry they gave you problems, though.

depends on the tv. I've mentioned it once or twice, but my fiance's mother had a CRT that was 1080i/1080p (can't remember). weighed a ton, but it looked nice, and the tube meant it actually had room for halfway decent speakers in the case, lol

lol, fiance's mother had a 1080i(1080p? Can't remember) CRT in the mid-two thousands...had a nice picture, admittedly weighed a ton like you pointed out. Even cheap sets were reliable, though. LCD/LED are fine, I just liked the CRTs a little better. I wont deny some of that is nostalgia-goggles, but If I could find a hi-def CRT anymore, I'd buy it in a minute.

don't feel bad, My fiance's mother had an actual HD CRT and she had to put it in hock, then never got it out. Pissed me off so bad...If I'da known she didn't have the money, I would have gone and got it out myself...

Could you imagine any other industry being so unimaginably narcissistic and spiteful to its customer.

Journalism...Politics...Hollywood...

...you know... the sad part is instead of making it an assassin's creed game, they could have made a new game, set it in modern times, and had a black man somehow learn the ways of the samurai from an old man, trying to keep the old ways alive. could have done all sorts of things with that, maybe even started a new ip the way capcom did when their RE:4 concept strayed too far from the rezzy series.(Devil May Cry started out as a prototype for RE4).

...But because they're marxists, they can't do that, no...they have to inject their politics into something that's already popular and call everyone who says it's shit a racist, because, let's face, it's all they have...

Ironically, the left wishes he was 100% of what they claim he is...

Half of their attacks on him were them practically begging him to be an authoritarian... Ten to nothing, if he had gone full Mousolini on their asses, they would have been practically slobbering on his penny loafers, and happily (not fearfully, happily) doing so...
