what happened to """nerds""" like tihs?

The quality of our foods became worse. They started putting vegetable oil in everything because it's """"healthy"""". (It actually causes oxidative stress).

That kinda looks like a Slavic lan party in the mid 00s

Nah, they only were better than earlier LCD. And you generally weren't paying with 144FPS or other modern things. Not that this makes most people better players, but it's better technology.

Apart from monitors becoming slimmer and peripherals and cases glowier, LAN parties still pretty much look like they used to.

Lots of people here look more or less like that. Of course there's all sorts since it's not a beauty contest. Examples:
lanport.ch/gallery/
instagram.com/switzerlanch/

This looks more like post-soviet "computer club", it was something like internet cafes, but mostly without internet and with LAN games, mainly original Counter-Strike. They were pretty popular in early 2000s.

how do you append yourself like this?

The best things about CRT monitors were that you could run in any resolution without the equivalent hideous scaling used in LCD. There's no "native" resolution so running in 640x480 actually looks decent. This made developing content so much easier because you could easily see precisely how content would look in any resolution by changing the resolution. It also had the massive advantage for being able to display graphically intensive content at higher framerates and better image quality thanks to lower resolution without using a crappy scaler.

Another best thing is that motion clarity looked closer to perfect than any LCD because there's no visual artifact from lowering display persistence. Even the fastest possible LCD's have visual artifacts from slow GTG transitions or overdrive artifacts. Color, black depth and contrast all looked perfect too and in motion. With LCD's you have to choose. If you want good color to make content for you're black depth and contrast will look like complete ass on IPS. If you want good contrast and black depth you will lose the ability to create content on the display as color accuracy will be off due to gamma shift on VA. If you want maximum speed in motion everything else will look like absolute shit on TN. No problem here on CRT. Everything looks perfect.

You never had to worry about buying a "gaymer monitor" to get low input lag they all had input lag as low as possible.

The size argument is mostly irrelevant to desktop usage. A 24" CRT monitor is very big and heavy but there's no real need to go up from that size for the vast majority of people. 24" isn't too big or too heavy.

No dead pixels. No backlight bleed. No panel uniformity issues. All CRT's look perfect.

I really wish they kept making CRT just for desktop use. That would be a great way to deal with the toxic pollution and inability to recycle problem too.

Have you ever used a CRT

Yes and I stopped using them because they made my eyes hurt.
Still wish I could go to the store and buy a new one to have around.
They're actually pretty difficult to procure high quality ones from where I live.

>I really wish they kept making CRT
It's kinda sad to think that these are actually dead. Most likely nobody will ever make another crt again.

Yeah, and the blacks on my brand new 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor are worst than those of the last Samsung CRT I had, why do you ask?

That being said I still doubt how much I would actually use one if they did make them. I mean they are not really hard to come by but I still use my whatever flat monitor.

>The best things about CRT monitors were that you could run in any resolution without the equivalent hideous scaling used in LCD.
what?
miss one of preset resolutions and you would get shit on the screen or even damage the screen if you went too high on older models.
i'm all for tech nostalgia, but i couldn't wait for those hideous radiating monstrosities to go away. however in picture/color quality the top products did overperform first generations of lcds by great margin for a long time.

Calm down, it's just the obligatory GF that got dragged to that lan party while nagging and being bored to hell.

Just about to say this...
They where a staple at our lan parties.
Thats why we started bringing movies so they had something to do.

>miss one of preset resolutions and you would get shit on the screen or even damage the screen if you went too high on older models
I have no clue what you're talking about. CRT's support a wide range of resolutions as do LCD. Some probably program in more than others but that's irrelevant. While they both support a wide range of resolutions, CRT looks objectively better in all but the LCD native resolution because LCD scales all other resolutions from native. If you don't use scaling on LCD then you will have a tiny display corresponding to the size of the resolution. Try running in 320x240 on LCD then report back.

just like your personality.

I've always, always loved the idea of LAN parties. The closest thing I ever had growing up was a handful of birthday parties/sleepovers at a friend's house playing Xbox games (mostly Halo CE).

It really sucks that splitscreen and couch co-op is just so rare these days. That, and that everyone is "grown up" now. Wives, kids, jobs, mortgages. I want to host or attend a LAN party but it's just so hard getting everyone's schedule lined up.

Now look, if this were 2004 I'd completely agree with you. Early-gen LCDs screens were unbelievably shitty, and CRTs were better in almost literally every way.

But that's simply not true anymore. Comparing a modern LCD to a CRT (even the most recent ones, which are still going to be what, over 10 years old?) is a complete no contest.

LCDs are

CRTs had their time. That time ended more than a decade ago. There is literally no reason to own a CRT in 2019 other than feeling like a special snowflake, I'm sorry.

You wasted like half your post on this because it's the only thing LCD really has going for it and it's useless in the majority of cases for desktops.
>144Hz screens offer a faster refresh rate than almost any (98%+) CRT
>240Hz LCDs are faster than any CRT at any resolution, period
This is almost universally untrue and CRT's already had LCD refresh rates some 20 years ago. They undoubtedly would be faster if still being made today not that it needs it. Already faster in all measurable metrics where higher refresh rates are needed for LCD.
>don't make noise
I owned three CRT desktop monitors and they were all silent. If you count TV's those were silent as well. Certainly no where near as common of a problem as backlight bleed, pixel defects and screen uniformity issues. LCD panels, every color and shade from black to white have uniformity issues. None present on CRT.
>"ghosting", "gamma shift", "black depth" and all those other buzzwords, while real, are not nearly as important or noticeable as CRT fans proclaim
These are quite possibly the most important measurements a display can have and not even remotely close to buzzwords.

Hell, show me one that can do that at 120. This is to say nothing of 1440p or 4K, which are completely unobtainable in CRTs.

>They undoubtedly would be faster if
"if"

>Already faster in all measurable metrics
Hmmm... no? Persistence/ghosting is comparable or better on LCDs. Input lag is far below the threshold for human detection (and no, you aren't a special snowflake who can "notice" a 1ms delay). Refresh rates, LCDs absolutely dominate.

>I owned three CRT desktop monitors and they were all silent.
That's because you have poor hearing. I guess in that case CRTs are comparable.

Nice meme.

Look amigo, I know being wrong is hard and sometimes people are diehard fanboys of deprecated companies/technologies, but CRTs are objectively and in every way equivalent or worse (mostly worse) than LCDs.

But riddle me this, because despite being wrong you obviously care about this a LOT:

If CRTs are so much better, so great in every way, why does almost literally no one use them, ever, anywhere? Surely if they were such an improvement over LCDs, we'd see them in TV and movie production studios, we'd see YouTubers and streamers using them, we'd see them in engineering offices and at large tech companies. But we don't. At all.

Why is that, do you think?

And that was over 20 years ago. If CRT's were still being made today they'd be shitting on LCD's even harder. They'd be thinner and lighter, too. Higher refresh rates. higher resolutions and better in almost every conceivable way.
>"if"
If you don't agree with me you're a shit eater plain and simple.
>Hmmm... no? Persistence/ghosting is comparable or better on LCDs
1. Those are two completely separate things.
2. Persistence in CRT's is much lower, on the order of nanoseconds. The lowest persistence LCD's, that require users to have advanced display knowledge to setup correctly, have at best .25ms and typically 1ms+
3. LCD's have slow GTG transitions, CRT's are near instantaneous. Slow GTG is mostly what causes the image artifacts on LCD's. LCD's also suffer from crosstalk, CRT's don't.
>want to know how I know you aren't actually a creative professional?
Want to know how I know you just arbitrarily inserted "creative professional" into a response that has nothing to do with it?
>Look amigo, I know being wrong is hard

So one, presumably extremely expensive specialty CRT almost-but-not-quite matches what a $160 entry-level LCD can do. Also you ignored 1440p. And 4K. And 165Hz. And 240Hz.

"If" means nothing. We are talking about practical products that a normal individual can buy, today, without taking out a second mortgage on their house.

Technically separate and closely related.

You can't detect the sub-3ms (max) ghosting on any modern display. You're well into audiofool territory.

You can't detect this on any even halfway decent modern LCD. At all.

It cost about a grand and shits on every LCD ever made in almost every metric.
>Also you ignored 1440p. And 4K. And 165Hz. And 240Hz.
I didn't ignore any of these. It can run a resolution at a higher resfresh rate and resolution than the majority of desktop monitors being used today. And that was over 20 years ago. How much of a brainlet do you have to be to not put 2+2 together and realize that if CRT's were still being made today they'd be shitting on LCD's *that* much harder?
>"If" means nothing. We are talking about practical products that a normal individual can buy
No we aren't we're talking about what could have been, potential and how stupidly better CRT's were in almost every way, a long ass time ago and how much better they'd be today if they were still being produced.
>Technically separate and closely related.
And you're dodging the point. They're only related in the way you can see artifacts from one using the other. And it means LCD is inferior to CRT. Quit dodging faggot. You're wrong.
>You can't detect the sub-3ms (max) ghosting on any modern display
Like hell you can't. You can't make a modern display that doesn't have detectable ghosting when lowering display persistence, not yet anyway.

What's the point? That neither one matters because even slightly better than "included with my grandma's prebuilt PC" LCDs don't have any detectable problems in that area? Or, really, any other for that matter?

>Like hell you can't. You can't make a modern display that doesn't have detectable ghosting when lowering display persistence, not yet anyway.
Spoken like someone who has literally never played games or compared monitors side by side. You can't. I know you really, desperately wish you were special, but you aren't. You cannot detect ghosting on ANY reasonable quality LCD in 2019. And don't give me that "yeah *chuckles* well this $45 monitor from 2007 I just picked up on Craigslist has TERRIBLE ghosting, so checkmate" bullshit.

>Not even close.
Nah, actually very close. Almost identical arguments - pretending to see things you can't, saying stats (that don't matter) actually do matter, believing you can see or otherwise detect things others can't. It's like schizophrenia except you're literally choosing to do it.

>Yes you can, easily.

They haven't made a high end computer CRT for some 20 years now. What part of that don't you understand? How many years did it take for you to be able to buy a consumer grad 1440p 144hz LCD with low input lag? And you still can't buy one that doesn't suffer from one of or multiple problems if not all of these: backlight bleed, panel uniformity issues, pixel defects, shit black depth, shit contrast, shit color accuracy, color shift, motion artifacts. CRT has literally none of these issues. None. And it already had the performance characteristics of your best gaymer monitors, 20 years ago.
> LCDs don't have any detectable problems in that area?
Again your argument is you're a blind retard so I don't know what you're doing trying to have a conversation that you clearly have no clue about.

>CRT has literally none of these issues. None.
Actually, color depth is one, you don't even have the signals to do 100% sRGB or anything like it.

Another one is 144hz, very few CRT did anything like that. And even then not at full resolution - which it only did with a good bunch of blur, actually. It also did flicker.

So it's more like a bunch of the best gaming monitor features, but not quite all that are really desirable.

This CRT nostalgia is kinda cool but sometimes I wonder if the people who go on about it actually remember what it was like using CRTs.

Tell me about it. I have been tempted to drag my old 24" Trinitron beast out of the basement. Better in almost every single way. Except it weighs 240lbs.

I've had people ask me why I still have 8 Dell C840 (Pentium 1.8ghz, NVidia Geforce4 440 gp and 1600x1200 screen) laptops. I got them free from an older job, cleaned them up and reapplied thermal paste. Just last year brought them to a Friday party by request, what was to be 1 night after the party turned into a classic game weekend. A 8 port switch was setup. I put out the laptops with a simple logitech mouse each. Each person had their own ear buds or a headset. Using 2 power strips to not cause any power issues and in case people wanted to plug in phones. Everyone had a blast doing groups in Diablo I. Total Annihilation, Unreal/Quake and other games.

I guarantee everyone who spergs out about monitors is under 20 and has never used a CRT in its natural habitat

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Eh I played at 120hz at 1280*1024 on a 21" crt. It was and still is pretty great

Not exactly true, manufacturers didn't list a true resolution because they didn't want people to know exactly how many phosphors there were. In terms of a native resolution if you're using a 4:3 screen you want to use a 4:3 res otherwise you'll stretch it

Its like all these plens actually don't have memories that extend that far back in time.

Back when you could wear a trench coat without being a school shooter

This poster is correct.

However if you want to shit on CRT then use their lack of wide color gamut, no high dynamic range, high power consumption, and the fact that they emit damaging alpha, beta and gamma radiation.

As a trench and duster coat user I do indeed miss those days.

That's true but it's not a technological limitation but mostly a matter of implementing newer standards and requested features.
I'm not really advocating people go out and get a CRT over a LCD so I'm not sure what the point of these kinds of responses are. The main display characteristics of a CRT however are still vastly superior to LCD. If they were still being made today, these other features would be brought up to standards as well.

No the reason why CRT production stopped was really just a perfect storm, unfortunately.

you also forgot: it took a huge amount of tweaking to get the image as close to perfectly rectangular as possible. but it was never 100% and wasn't permanent (moving the monitor to a new location often fucked it up pretty good)

all that connectivity and not a single instagram thot or virtue signaling tweeter in existence yet.
RIP good times.

This but unironically. My family must've been deaf, but every CRT display I ever had made a high pitch whining noise loud enough to hear over a loud conversation. I got headaches from it constantly. I don't care if I'm losing something with my LCD, fuck those displays.

meanwhile today we have curved LCD's where people pay a premium to not have straight lines

I'm extremely sensitive to this and I've come across countless CRT's and never experienced it not even slightly

I'm not a CS.Go pro player, a little less response is an adequate trade off for higher resolution, adequate aspect ratio for multitasking, less weight and bulk, etc.
