Why did we stop using CRT monitors and TVs for anime?
same reason we don't ride horseback to work
CRT gives you cancer
>MY GLASS/PLASTIC SLOP MAKES ME SPECIALI started a family instead of fetishizing bulky old tech for hipster nostalgia streetcred
>>287532532Fuck you.
>>287532451Because CRTs are shit and inferior to electronic displays in all but a few specific cases.
>>287532532>I started a familyand yet you're still hereI feel sorry for your "wife" and "children"(i.e. your waifu pillow and tissues)
>>287532451there's no advantage except if you're really into the vibe. it's not like old games that were sometimes built around the specific nuances of crts, it was just a compromise downgrade from film.
mental illness: the thread
>>287532451They stopped existing
>>287532451because they're too fucking heavy for our weak weeb arms
>>287532451they're no longer being made
>>287532451Because they're objectively inferior and the only reason people care about them is the nostalgia factor
>>287532451Holy Soul
>>287532532Sure you did
>>287532451Around the late 2000s widescreen monitors and T.v were becoming common place in homes partly due to consoles and Blu-ray players.>the static on your hands after the T.v is on for hours
>>287532451Why are they like this?
>>287532532You can marry and reproduce while still dropping a hundred quid on something snazzy
>>287532451In 2006, when I replaced my 19" CRT with a 19" 4:3 LCD flatscreen. I still have the LCD but never use it.Then I replaced the LCD with a 40" 16:9 720p non-smart plasma TV in 2008 for the digital transition in 2009. The plasma was awesome for watching torrented anime from my laptop.The plasma broke in 2025, and I replaced it with a meh 43" LG smart TV. But it has 5 anime free streaming channels which is nice. And I got a component/HDMI adapter to connect my VCR/DVD player to watch old stuff./old

>>287532451For the life of me I can't figure out if it really would be worth my time to go back to a machine I haven't used since my single-digits, so I've been thinking of just buying one to see for myself
I fished the old big CRT out of the basement and set all my retro consoles back up a few months back>mfw I forgot the sound CRTs make
>>287532451Poorer
>>287532518There is a 100% correlation between cancer and breathing.
