wish I could buy new 100hz 24" 1440p CRT monitor.

beautiful

240hz

suprisingly based, especially for uses in low latency video

Imagine how good CRT tech could have been right now if we didn't fall for the LCD meme.

didn't it reach it's peak? what can you do with CRT, really?

laser>plasma>crt>lcd

Why nobody made a monitor from the same lasers used in picoprojectors?

Better refresh rates, much more vibrant colours and they don't have a native resolution but instead can adjust the electron beam inside to pull off a broad varierity of resolutions loss-free.

how would you do that? mirrors? expensive

There were CRT-like tech in the work already. With much slimmer formfactor.
I don't remember that much, i bet some crt-auti... i mean some other crt enthusiast can elaborate.

Basically CRT design, but with lasers instead of electron gun.

They're for nostalgic boomers and gullible zoomers.

isn't it bad to hit lasers in your eyes?

They'd be drawing the image on translucent surface obviously, not beaming it directly into your eyes. That would diffuse the light.

I really miss them. Computing isn't the same with a flat screen.

still have one on storage
when i move out i might repurpose it to use with my old 486 pcs from back in the day

They're fucking great and you shouldn't care what Jow Forums thinks.

I still have one. I'd never use it though, it takes forever to turn on.

I actually have two, but the 2nd one is like 1024x768.

I don't fetishize them, but they do objectively have better contrast than both LCDs and Plasmas (although nit as much as OLEDs) and, being inherently analog, they obviously have less input lag when fed with analog signals such as VGA/SCART.
While I don't entirely miss them, I must say that it would have been interesting to see CRT technology develop further instead of being dropped altogether.
In its later years, there was a push for smaller tubes. Maybe one day we'll rediscover them, who knows.

Based technology that died too soon.

good, but only for emulating old games/watching old movies

Heavy, bulky, thirsty, emitting unhealthy radiation.
I still miss the vivid colors tho.

Larger ones are too heavy, can't put them on my lap.

LEDs are apparently also unhealthy for the eyes.

Go blind.
