Are CRTs still the best monitor technology?
Yes and no, it's difficult to explain.
>>108682906
>>108682633no, just a gets an oled gramps
Depends. As you can see CRT's and OLED's are on opposite ends of the two extremes, while TN and IPS offer the most stability. But notice the converging point in the center, that was interesting.>INB4 windows paint!I know, it was for me. The graph wasn't the effort, the tests were.
>>108682633no
>>108682962this but miniLED instead
>>108683056> miniLEDsame old lcd trash with a new meme of the day backlight.
>>108682966What the fuck is this graph, explain
>>108682633>Are CRTs still the best monitor technology?yep>>108683054>shit tv>shit resultsmany such cases for poorfags.
>>108683122When they say that 'CRTs and OLEDs are on opposite ends,' they mean that both offer top-tier image quality but for entirely different technical reasons (one being analog/scanned and the other being digital/organic light emission).The bit about the 'converging point in the center' is the interesting part of the graph they tried to draw. It likely suggests that, under certain refresh rate (Hz) configurations, all these technologies reach a point where they look 'equally good' or perform similarly.
CRT = Cancer Ray TubeDon't use CRTs if you care about your health.
>>108683122Pretty self explanatory.
>>108682633Crt's are so scalped, at least in canada/usa that a 17" e waste pull is about as much or more than a 2k 240hz oled monitor, and any of the top 5 spec models are worth about $2-5k + tip + shipping which in the case of the failed state that is canada is about $300-500 from USA to here. Assuming they starting making them again, which will never happen at the specs of the fw900s for 16:10 or one of the high spec iiyamas at some what comparable prices to modern day 4k oleds($1k cad here) then maybe you could have a discussion. In current climate it's just a humiliation ritual either way. These monitor companies must be in pure states of ecstasy knowing that they managed to get the goyim to buy monitors that are generally accepted by the consumer to only last 3 years, and anything more is just a blessing to them, but they would of been fine with the stated warranty. Considering monitors in the past were one of, if not the highest profit margin items but had the benefit of lasting forever, now even that is gone and there is no reason for them to ever make anything better
they hurt muh eyes
>>108684302i've had my OLED for more then 3yrs and it has zero burn in or anything because I take care of my shit.
>>108683876No. Seconds of what? Blur per 0.01 what? How much is 1 blur?
>>108682633The best? No. But if you have space and the budget, having a CRT tv for anime and a high quality CRT monitor for fast paced games is really enjoyable. I watch animated shows on an HD 1080i wide screen tv and imo it looks nicer than an quivalent OLED. Not really sure why, it's not as sharp, it's not even as crisp, it just looks better to me.
I'm fortunate to have found a 2070sb for pretty cheap, once I used it for a few fast paced games, everything on an LCD looks smeared and blurry.
>>108682633If you ignore everything else but CRTs, yeah. But OLED has: >higher resolutions>higher frame rates>higher brightness>higher contrast>higher color volume>higher color accuracy>larger sizes>lower weight>more/better inputs>perfect geometryAs long as none of the above matters to you, then yeah... CRTs are the superior display technology!
>>108682633No.
LOL CRTs are shit
>>108686441>Higher frame rates On paper frame rates are better but you need 240+ Hz or other techniques on an OLED to actually match the motion clarity offered by CRT technology. I still game on my flat panel tv because size and color, but the motion does suck.
In military and hypercritical sectors they are still used and manufactured
>>108686589Motion clarity is better but at the same time you still suffer from lower refresh rate and reduced smoothness on CRTs.
>>108682633for anything but static content, yes.
>>108686441 hereforgot to tell but India number 1 power!1!
>>108682633For gaming, yes. For everything else, no. They are soft and have geometry distortions and the monitors tend to have a noticeable flicker. A good LCD is the best for everything else.
>>108686594But they are not for TV use.
>>108682633No, it's not, and I've owned one of the last high-end CRTs since new and I was a CRT holdout until about 2011.Now I have an OLED phone, laptop and TV, only my desktop monitor is an LCD, at some point I'll switch it to OLED too.
Can someone repost that GIF or WEBM of CRTs being manufactured?
>>108682633No.They weighted a ton, had far worse colors, drew far more power, had far worse resolutions and more. And don't get me fucking started on scart cables, sure the idea of them combining video and audio was nice but they SUCKED as a port.Also anyone making any arguments about input delay is a retard, that was a problem on cheap HDTVs around 2005-2008-ish but very little made after then has had significant delay and its always clearly labelled.A CRT filter in most games will get you close enough if you're desperate for the graphical effect.
>>108682633only if you were born a genetic cripple and have to wear glasses to survive
>>108686213>2070sb
>>108685961Blur per .01 in seconds for each type of monitor... It says right there. Seconds on the x axis, blur on the y axis. The true center is .7.
>>108688224Ebin :DD
>>108688926Nice geometry. I never took the time to get it so perfect, I did have to fix my G2 pot internally though, was set very high. I did get it sharp.
>>108682633No, by far. Its ridiculous people are asking this. I am a CRT enthusiast. OLEDs have already surpassed CRTs in everything. I use high end CRT monitors, which look fantastic, have high contrast, great motion clarity... But because I can't afford a 500 quid OLED. Would I use a CRT over a LCD IPS, yes, but only for graphics, not work where text clarity is needed. If I could get an OLED, I would use that instead, because of all the negatives of CRTs.
It is also unbelievable that people are spending hundreds of dollars on CRTs, when technology has advanced. I got my monitors for 50 quid each, and I thought that was a scam.
>>108689679I was not aware they sold OLEDs that could display 60hz without motion blur. Or able to display multiple resolutions without scaling.
>>108684302Her @ is Milkgore.Her pussy is pretty sadge.
>>108686620>geometry distortionsunless you're doing something requiring spatial precision like graphical work, it doesn't matter>the monitors tend to have a noticeable flickeronly under a 85Hz refresh ratemost CRTs since the mid-late 90s support 85Hz and higher refresh rates
>>108687978you're conflating CRT TVs with CRT monitors
>>108682633Old stuff looks good on CRTs. That's it.Trying to retrofit high res video with any amount of detail onto one looks like ass.Even trying to watch a 4:3 4K video on a VGA monitor set to as high as possible (1280x1024 I think) didn't look as good as I was expecting. I'd rather watch it on my modern monitor.
>>108689703The people that buy CRTs don't actually use them long term. If they actually do use them, it might be for a few minutes at a time. They spend more time posting about CRTs. Once the novelty vanishes, they dump their CRTs in the attic or basement to collect dust.
>>108682633(turn it on)fuwee...swonk...eeeeee(leave the room)(come back)eeeeee(sit down)EEEEEEE(put on headphones)-----------(take them off)EEEEEEE(get up)eeeeee(walk away).....
>>108689894yep and then about a year later they try and resell them at some absurd price to justify their retardation. I've seen it many of times where someone overpays for literal e waste tube that are gone completely, cases destroyed to the point they can't be put back on and they try and resell them 2x what they paid.I imagine it's quite similiar to a vegan or odd dieter trying to explain why they don't do it anymore after telling every single human in their lives how epic they felt from the diet, or in this case how amazing the display was and how everything else is badFor a few years half the monitors i seen resell were from trannies, half of which weren't at the time i initially bought of them. They have seemed to move on to ipods now or whatever retarded larp of the day exists in 2026 quite possibly the best of oled is that you don't need to interact with these subhumans, who have no issue with lying and scamming in most cases, selling other trannies monitors with bad tubes or flybacks that are about to die. It was already a better value proposition 3 years ago when oleds were $800-1k cad now i seen 2k models as low as $399
>>108682633always has been
>>108689703Shouldn't be so surprising, at least not if they actually use them. I for one just have the stuff from back when I was a kid so I haven't spent a single dime, but if you're into some form of media from the era and are actually going to use the CRT then spending a few hundred on a device doesn't sound so wild to me. The value of an item isn't somehow exclusively determined by how old it is, if it's old but useful, it's still useful.
>>108682633I've been lugging this behemoth around for a good decade now. Saved it from the dumpster and it's traveled thousands of miles with me. It's not even the best one but it's mine and the only way to game. It probably weighs 100 lbs and has that high pitch hum that I can't hear because my ears are so shitty
>>108689703I buy stuff for muh sovl and shit and I don't care about specs or anything. Also I didn't pay too much. $50 for a TV some guy who has a huge hobby actually recalibrated, $25 for a decent condition TV/VCR combo, and $20 for a 19" monitor that could do I think 1600x1200 at 60Hz at least, maybe a bit more. I used it for a year and it crapped out, it's still in my closet, one day I'll take it apart and fix it. Probably just a bad capacitor.I am willing to pay far more not to have ugly modern shit in my home because I find it demoralizing
what's becoming more and more clear every single day is that only trannies are obsessed with CRTs
Having a crt was an exercise in nothing ever being clear. I had a bunch of them including the trinitron hd crts at the end.
>>108691703Trannies have moved onto ipods and walkmans although walkmans got reflooded into the market when they couldn't figure out how to change belts or realized how bad casettes soundkarens are the main new people into crt's specifically buying 13' tv/vhs combos to show off to their fat ugly friends, it's at the point i seen a new wanted add for one locally every 3 days with all the 41%ing going on i imagine it wont be long before all the crtrannies are gone
>>108689703Back in 2021 I bought a broken low-hour Sony GDM-F520 for 250€. Purchased a scope as well just to diagnose it (a fucking tek2440 DSO too which has a crazy story of its own). I had barely any EE background at the time, I was making shit up as I went. But I was able to pinpoint the fault and fix it. Learned so much, obtained some of the coolest hardware on earth, and have stories to tell. I've had the monitor for 5 years and I just love it so much. Worth every cent. I am never ever selling it, despite the thing being worth a grand or two at least.
>>108693233selling things just because they are expensive is retarded, its just something americans do because they hate themselves. Scalpers are mostly people who are into whatever it is to begin with and like all americans do whatever they loosely enjoy has to become a side hustle, i have seen it too many times with crts alone it's probably why high end ones are so fucked price wise. One week in seattle i seen 7 monitors sell for sub $100 and every single one got resold a day or two later niggas gotta be enjoyin what they have more often
>>108682633There is no best monitor technology. They each over their own strengths and weaknesses. It is just that CRTs got the short straw under the vast majority of use cases which is why they are no longer in mass production.
