    cause the human eye can't see beyond 60hz anyways.

    crt monitors can literally implode at any minute, any minute they aren't imploding they are showering you with radiation. they're a dead technology for a raisin.

      Very uneducated post, good job. There is no radiation unless the voltage is fricked and modern CRTs have a breaker. As for exploding tubes that is from aged old models.

        i'm explaining why crt died. i don't care what some nostolgia-pilled boomers have been cooking up in current year. LCDs did 90% of the job sufficiently without any of the crt-specific drawbacks.

          You were making shit up. That's not why they died. It's mainly because nobody wants bulky, heavy shit. Particularly when, like you said, there was a more or less equivalent kind of television in terms of picture quality.

            did crt monitors emit radiation or not?
            did crt monitors implode or not?
            >OH BUT THEY ONLY DO THAT WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG
            so when they're not properly maintained then they run these risks? what percentage of families properly maintained their tvs?

                0 because of their design if they were to implode on their own they would have before they left the manufacturer

                funny how it went from "you're making shit up" to "okay those things do happen but does it really matter?" again, you're a moron. i wonder how many LCD or beyond TVs have literally crushed people to death.

        There's no such thing as modern CRT's, you mong. The last factory producing them shut down in the 2010's and even then, they were still 70 year old tech.

        Pining for something out of nostalgia doesn't make it any less obsolete.

          By modern he just means the most recent ones produced in the 90s and 2000s. Even then it's not like the innovation stopped 70 years ago for CRTs - there's a night and day difference between a PC monitor from 1993 and one from 2003

            The actual innovations into the CRT piece itself, peaked in the 60's with color TV's. Everything after that was reiterations of the tech with new minor additions like remote control and built in coaxial connections. A CRT monitor is the exact same thing only with a digital to analog converter built into the box.

            They were obsolete tech in the 90's and just took a little bit to be phased away completely.

              TVs at least got "flat" screens and HD support towards the end of their lifetimes. PC monitors continued to improve in every way from resolution and refresh rates to more advanced corrections for geometry. TV were obsolete sooner for sure, but I would argue PC monitors weren't beaten in performance until a few years ago when higher resolution, higher refresh rate flat panels became more common.

    A bit shit compared to LCD. I miss when plasma was a thing and a high end option. It was so cool to think of getting a plasma screen TV, it sounded so advanced and expensive. Picture wise a 4k HDR OLED destroys it but it's still a fun tech and name.

      Most people can't hear this. People lose the ability to hear those frequencies as they age. Some later than others of course. I turned on my old CRT maybe half a decade ago when I was 27 or so and didn't hear a thing but it made my nieces and nephews physically cringe. I do almost miss it though.

        Weirded me out when other people couldn't hear what I was talking about as a kid with the CRT whine. While visiting my parents for thanksgiving, I noticed their new microwave emitted a high frequency pitch when the oven light was turned on (this being an over the oven model) and they couldn't hear a thing. Cracks me up that so many genuine boomers talk about how all the kids will lose their hearing due to loud music but it makes me wonder just what the hell they were subjecting their ears to all those years.

      very true.
      loved it. very comfy.
      I could tell when the tv was on from upstairs. id come down and my little bro would be playing games.
      miss my old tvs.
      we had like 2 70s tvs and 2 80s tvs small.
      and 1 "big" 27 inch floor RCA floor that my dad would use to watch "the game" and get pissed if we were tryign to play games when he wanted to watch tv. I totally understand how he felt now with a son of my own. but i get my son's feeling too.
      wanted to just watch dumb cartoons when my dad had Seinfeld on when i was a kid.
