While early CRTs did release some ionizing radiation, anything that connects to a PC will have a thick layer of leaded glass between you and the electron beam.

>liquid just display
enjoy having "black" actually be a dark silverish color.

That was a privacy screen. It was just a polarization thing that made the screen visible only from the front, to prevent coworkers seeing the sensitive or non-work-related things on your screen.

The CRT itself has integrated protection against the radiation it produces.

Infinite-Resolution. Get fucked LCD

A CRT's effective resolution is measured by its dot pitch, which is not infinite. You can often drive a CRT at higher resolutions than the dot pitch, but the effect is the same as using a higher resolution on an LCD and scaling it down: it gets blurry and you can't see the individual pixels anymore.

*decays and looks like shit*

CRT's have Perfect Blacks though.

>xkcd
cringe

so as long as i dont do anything retarded, how long should my CRT last? its currently like 17 years old now and only has minimal burn in.

True. So do OLEDs and micro-LEDs.

Mine is around 17 and zero burn-in. It really depends how much it's used, whether you crank the brightness all the way up, and whether you display static high-contrast images on it for long periods.

INSTANTANEOUS LATENCY.

It's over for the LCDs. S.

Latency is one thing CRTs beat OLEDs and micro-LEDs on. They don't have any framebuffer inside so pixels are lit as your GPU outputs them.

Perfect blacks until you have any ambient light in the room.

>le reflected light meme
>tfw books don't have perfect blacks either because of this

Does it work with MUSE?

Holy shit calm down didn't realize you people would be so pedantic. Get laid seriously it's just televisions lamo.

i fell for the crt meme and i loved it

Were SEDs superior to LCD/LED/OLED?
Why did Plasma disappear?

I don't own a tv at all but I have a pic related.
I sold off all my original hardware after moving a couple times and just emulate. It does an ok job with old interlaced games but not as well as it does 480p

HOWBOUT THE RED GUN GOES OUT THEN WHAT

WHERE DO YOU GET ELECTRON GUNS IN 2018

ebay + scavenge others in shop

DIY

PC CRTs could do 480i? I thought the lowest they could do were 480p? How about 240p? I regret not picking up a 1440p CRT monitor at salvation army that's closed down now, people are over valuing their shitty PC CRTs now in my area.

I do, but it's busted and I have to fix it.

CRT with only 60hz, enjoy your eye cancer

TV was always 60 Hz here, and 50 in most of Europe. Yet we don't see literal boomers all getting eye cancer at a higher rate. No, we're the ones getting nearsighted, from staring into computer screens all day, regardless of whether they're CRT, LCD, OLED or what.

Flicker causes eye strain, but the real problems are from focusing at a fixed, near distance for extended periods.
