afaik america is still alive

I am, a 100 dollar 1080p TNT panel is pretty good desu, and if you spend a little more you can get ips, led backlighting is on all of them so you don't have to wait for it to go full brightness.

The weight didn't bother me since it would just stay on the desk, can't say I miss the misalignment and blurriness problems.
I sorely miss the blacks through.

>can't say I miss the misalignment and blurriness problems
Yep.

>switch resolution or refresh rate
>have to readjust every parameter again
I must have done this shit on my 76DF literally hundreds of times.

Does oled not have true black?

.t somehow who never saw an aperture grid CRT

I always liked them, but I also like that LCDs don't flicker.

It does but it's not great for desktop use because burn-out issues
CRTs also don't tend to have true black all the time, if the brightness is too high you can get a glow like you see in OPs pic instead of black, you also won't get true blacks if the image itself doesn't have enough contrast

>I sorely miss the blacks through.
Dude, we have a lot of them

Oled is useless for pc and games. Burn in is still a problem.

I would say OLED is ok for games
It's just your library must be pretty varied and not just one moba or something that you play for hours on end

Would love to buy a CRT problem is people either want too much for them or they are in rough shape

I always hated the high pitch whines these made

garage sales. Ask around local medical centers or broadcasting stations.
Recycling centers are full of old tech constantly.
People get PVMs and BVMs for free sometimes.
They throw this stuff away.

>if the brightness is too high you can get a glow like you see in OPs pic instead of black
That's because the "brightness" control is literally a black-level adjustment. "Contrast" is conversely a white-level adjustment.

This applies to flat-panel displays too but I don't care because fixed-pixel a shit.

I still use them. I currently have three 22 inch multisync CRTs on my desk.

How did consumers get duped into buying those early flat panels with shit image quality and barely higher resolution compared to the average CRT? Was widescreen that big of a draw?

/vr/ here these things will always have a place in my heart and my home

I owned a Sony 35" trinitron at one time.
>400lbs.
Extra lead in the glass (to block radiation) weakened the glass, which required the glass be thicker, which required a heavy steel frame inside the TV to support the extra weight (in turn adding extra weight).

I bought one because muh thin display looked cool af in 2000 and allowed me to have space for things other than a fuckhueg electron gun on my desk

Also I only played civ 3 and wrote assignments on it, and the only video I watched was porn.mp4.exe in Real!(TM)Player so image quality wouldn't have mattered to me even if I'd known about it.

>working in computerlab
>friend next to you leans over and degausses the monitor
Did that ever do anything to improve picture quality?

No but it made him look like a tech pro which is the only thing he cared about

Most people can't even pronounce it let alone explain it

>I sorely miss the blacks through.
Found the zoomer. CRTs had shit blacks. You would know this if you actually used them.

kek

All of those CRTs are turned off which means their brightness is effectively set to the lowest it can be and they're displaying the darkest black they're capable of.

Here's another picture demonstrating the superior blacks of CRTs.

Now try one with the lights on and both screens displaying the same image.

Actually they are just increasing

most people have shitty washed out blacks on modern LCDs and had shitty washed out blacks on CRTs, too, because on both types of screen they make the same mistake: winding the brightness up to 11. usually to compensate for a room thats also too bright.

Can't do that, look at the timestamps on the picture
But I have this one which is at least correct exposure for the room's sunlight

Well then there's no point in posting these images because they're not really comparing LCD and CRT black performance.

Monitors weren't ever alive to begin with

America is not a biological entity

>CRT brightness affecting blacks to a relevant degree
this is b8

Feign ignorance all you want

Nice complete non sequitur, retard.

it just resets any magnetic fields on the front of the screen. pretty much only ever used to clear up any distortion from a magnet being put close to a monitor

The argument for crt's having higher refresh rate died once high refresh rate panels came out. Which I'm glad happened. I remember endless arguments about why crt is better on Jow Forums

You are confusing reflectivity with backlight blacks which aren't the same thing, CRT has far deeper blacks in a dark room.

No I don't miss eye strain. Fuck heavy obnoxious CRT.

I'm not confusing anything. CRTs only have to deal with reflected light. LCDs have to deal with both the light reflected off the the screen and the back light, and despite this they will have darker blacks than a CRT in a lit room.

>CRT has far deeper blacks in a dark room.
That may be but this is an unrealistic scenario. 90% you are going to be using your monitor with the lights on. And if you want something that requires turning the lights off to use it then you're better off buying a projector.

It's the colour of the phosphor. Some CRTs had very black phosphor, whereas other were rather grey.

>Some CRTs had very black phosphor
A very small minority of them did, and it didn't necessarily correspond with the quality of the monitor itself. Most high end monitors had very light phosphors, especially professional grade ones. I guess because they were intended to be used exclusively in a light controlled environment.

I can't wait for microled so I can finally ditch my cancer tube.
