Laptops are responsible for the fall of CRT screens. Laptops require LCD/LED screens due to physical constraints, so when consumers started moving from Desktops to Laptops, the economies of scale factor for lcd/led screens made them cheaper to produce vs. crts.Because of their small sizes, Laptops & handheld devices are the only devices where lcd/led screens actually look good due to sufficient pixel density.
CRTs were shit mate
No the fall of CRTs is directly attributed to the fact that they're shit. Low res, bulky, and inconvenient to move or store. No idea why zoomers keep coming here to pretend they love CRTs when people my age remember when you had to fucking pay to get rid of them.
why do zoomies fetishize CRTs so much? we threw all of ours away, anybody who actually grew up with them would be glad they're gone
retarded beyond belief
>zoomers Before /vr/ was created this board used to have daily CRT threads. There was even lots of PVM discussion back in 2016.
Not trying to be rude, but pretty much every sentence of your post is incorrect
>>749822185yeah among cringe nerds
LCD tv displays, nothing else. The consumer is retarded and values practical over quality or ownership. It's dead, Jim>>749821531Weakling cope
>>749822185anon those were bait threads
>>749821771They saw people with tastes talking about them and triggered their denied need to belong to any form of cultural phenomenon >we all threw>weWuz? I have 3 crts
>>749821771Melee fags
>>749822216explain
>>749822531What's there to explain? Laptops killing crts is probably the most idiotic thing I've heard about why crts went away.
>>749821464Ops dream crt laptop
>>749822739Laptops & handheld devices caused a surge in lcd/led screen production, which helped lower prices for lcd/led screens in general, which gave crts a competitive disadvantage, that point is correct.
>>749821464>crt TV is better than a 4k oled TV
>>749822826Which AI model did you use to make that graphic?
>Posting an actual discussion thread>On /v/ndiaUnsure what OP was expecting...
>>749821464Crts were phased out because LCDs were easier to manufacture and had massive cost savings in logistics. Crt was also mature tech that had no gains left to make, it was a good as it could ever get and came with serious limitations. Meanwhile LCD/plasma was improving fast and had alot of potential.
>>749822969Gemini
>>749822917But if CRTs were so desired they would still get produced.
>>749823182It’s called logistics anon. CRT’s weigh more and take up more space so you would need more shipments that cost more individually than you do bundling together a gorillian flatscreens. Demand be damned if the customer is willing to settle for what nets you the higher margins.
>>749821464>so when consumers started moving from Desktops to Laptopslol underagedThe second flat screens became wide spread in the late 90s normies gobbled them upIt was a new modern form factor for the new century, that replaced something bulky and literally 80 years old design, no shit everyone wanted one and adapted as soon as they could afford it or it got cheaperonly now we are realizing that CRTs had some good points, everyone in the yearly 2000s treated them as outdated junk to be replaced asap
A 60 inch crt would literally be impossible to function properly at that size and weigh like 700 pounds. Crt fags are idiots
>>749823845remember richfag friend having big ass rear projection tv. seemed insane that display can be that big. now it's pretty normal to have even bigger displays. crts couldn't have gone that big.
>>749823845You're supposed to use a regular 15-30 inch CRT TV in a regular room & then you can have a giant crt projector in a larger room.
>>749821771They never had a great childhood and never experienced golden age of gaming. They are orphaned generation.
>>749822928Yes; 4k took decades of e waste trying to get true blacks and still barely manage to beat the power of a glass screen
>>749825043and people are still dumping crts to ditches trying to get rid of them after like 100 years
>>749821771They saw shit like this and thought it applied to all games.
I really don't care and yet want you to know that I do replay, or play for first time, games on whatever screen I have. Metroid Zero Mission on TV? Nice. Rondo of Blood on chinkheld. Was fun because the game is good and not the screen it's displayed.
I've played on my CRT almost every day for the past two months while my 4k OLED has sat idle. I don't think that's about to change as I still have a fuckton of 4th and 5th gen games to play.
>>749821464Maybe if CRT monitors are actually long lasting and don't turn yellow after 7 years or so like early TN monitors. I might vastly prefer it.
>>749821531>>749821531You never used an early LCD.Displays regressed hard and only recently caught back up
Laptops cost $200. I can play games.Fuck your "NEED HI-GRADE TECH" mindset of>Well!>$6000 plays better!!!!!!!!!!!>"What does it play?">SHUT UP AND GIVE YOUR MONEY
>>749825215>dumping crts to ditches trying to get rid of them because people is dumb, we know this already
>>749826304How do you feel about the new ps6/xbox helix not having optical drives & being $1000+? also, how do you feel about the high end rtx cards?
>>749826516>How do you feel about the new ps6/xbox helix not having optical drives & being $1000+?I find its requirement as a platform to play video games too unfulfilling to be worth that cost. It most "unfulfilling" factor is a sheer lack of any fun games to play... let alone a "new" game requirement such performance.>also, how do you feel about the high end rtx cards?I have no investment in the idea of owning it as a personal home device. I am sated with the performance of PCs since the year 2000.I can argue their value on a professional-level, assuming what's being paired with has efficiency.
>>749821614>inconvenient to moveNo joke; this is the #1 reason people migrated to "flatscreen."Merely because a woman can now move it.That's it.No.Really.That's the reason CRTs stopped being used.
>>749826304I can afford to give games hardware they deserve. If you play shitty games I can see there being no drive to invest in the experience.
>>749823845I had one since the late 90s.
Have you ever tried to move a CRT you dumb zoomer? If you did you'd knew everyone fucking hated them.
>>749821464CRT died because of inferior visual quality, audible hum when on, high rate of electrical failure, and contributions to lead contamination.
ok
>>749825917Yes I did.I also used plasma
>>749828326what was plasma like?
>>749829178plasma back then is like the OLED of today, similar problems too. Make of that what you will.
>>749829178NTA, but hot and as heavy as a CRT, but the contrast was comparable to OLEDHad picrel back in the days, fucker needed a heavy-duty wallmount bcause it weighed 55kg
>>749821464the consumer chose resolution over latency, so that's why the industry is what it is today. style won over substance.
>>749821771Scanlines. That's it, really.
I'm a boomer and never had a PC. I've only ever had laptops even back in the day in the 90s.
>>749829565What were 90s laptops like? Were they worth the price? Why didn't you have a pc in the 80s?
>>749829695They were bulky and fairly shit and expensive but they were ok for web browsing and emails which is all I really did desu. I'm not really sure why I never had a PC. I think I just liked the fact I could pick up my Laptop and carry it around the house and whatnot to different rooms and take it outside the house to different places rather than having a PC just in 1 room all the time. If you want to have a look at what they were like at the time I recommend checking out old episodes of this show https://youtu.be/2i0cEO2UeBg
>>749829695Just like PC in the 90s but with being bulkier due the state of tech not being compact as today.
>>749829931are you using amd integrated graphics or an nvidia card for your current laptop that you use for games? You went with nintendo instead of a gaming console/pc hybrid system like a commodore in the 80s?
>>749826971I had thisStill have it around somewhereIt was awesomeAnd could play Doom
>>749830237I had most of the major consoles along the way so I generally only played video games on consoles. I only really got into playing games on PC towards the end of the PS3/360 generation. My current laptop has an amd processor and an Nvidia gpu but I don't really play much games anymore. All I played this year was Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Star Wars Zero Company and Blood of the Dawnwalker.
>>749821464Nice argument.Unfortunately, I pay my own power bill.
>>749830673>not using solar energy in 2026
>>749829178Radiated shitloads of heat. Much heavier than modern screens too, but it's a big fucking TV, don't know what else anyone'd expect.
>>749830780He might be a bong.
>>749821614This. Big screen CRTs were hard to produce and impossible to move alone. The biggest CRT produced was only 43 inches and weighed 200 fucking kg.
>>749830780Yeah because my roof is like fifty years old and solar panels + a new roof would take a million years to break even on cost.>>749830979No I'm amerishart.
>>749829413>the consumer chose resolution over latencyWell yeah. Nobody's gonna care while watching a 24-30fps broadcast and video games weren't big enough yet to influence public opinion.
>>749831203This.I like solar in concept, but when you look at the cost/savings it's obviously a scam for retards.
>>749827210What game deserves $6000 hardware and can actually put it to use? Honest question.
>>749821464The Zoomer Revisionism around CRTs is fucking stupid, if you grew up with them you'd know how shit they were.
>>749831203>>749831568It's the same as LCDs; costs are small compared to the savings. Also; you can put them on walls too. You're not going to add 500kg worth of solar panels, just enough to charge your batteries and basic energy usage
I remember early lcds having a sweet spot that you had to view the screen from or else it would be very dark.
>>749831816they were the best unless you had noodle arms
>>749821464CRTs died out because>heavy as shit>took up a lot of space>took up a lot of energy>took a lot of money to manufacture and transport>can only scale so large until everything above becomes an issueThe only thing I miss about them is how easy they are to repair.>>749822185I browsed those threads for a while. Most of it was sweaty geeks who circlejerked themselves on shit they dug out of the trash, I was one of them. Guess I can't complain though because I've made bank recently on selling those same units I got for free 10 years ago.
>>749832035TN panel. Shit colors, shit viewing angle.
Were crts 240p?
>>749832201480
>>749832272i
>>749832128>took up a lot of spacecuck point, your apartment got expensier and smaller so it was easy seeing anything as taking a lot of space when even your fucking bed barely fits in your own bedroom>things has gotten worse since then>you can't even fit a lcd display on its stand without taking up a lot of space of a living room that only has a couch for midgets>tfw>>749832201Resolution doesn't matter to crts, you could slap a 360 via composite cables and shit look stellar, aspect ratio only got affected.
>>749832518>cuck point, your apartment got expensier and smaller so it was easy seeing anything as taking a lot of space when even your fucking bed barely fits in your own bedroomExcept I own a 2200sqft home and see no value in a CRT doing what a smaller, thinner LCD can do 99% of the time. I say this as I have two cathodes behind me taking up a whole desk.>expensierAh, ESL detected. You wouldn't understand.>you can't even fit a lcd display on its stand without taking up a lot of space of a living room that only has a couch for midgetsBro has never heard of wall mounts. If your landlord won't let you drill holes into the studs then that's a skill issue on your part.
>>749832128>Guess I can't complain though because I've made bank recently on selling those same units I got for free 10 years ago.Perhaps this is the real reason for the modern CRT hype: People are trying to sell them to dumb zoomers.
>>749832819>Except I own a 2200sqft home>post in 4chanDon't lie on the internet>Bro has never heard of wall mountsYou're not using them by choice, but obligation. That's the reality; lcd feel equally as big as a CRT cope tried to.
>>749833234>Don't lie on the internetThis isn't some seekret klub for NEETs. Some of us did well in life and still come back for the occasional shits and giggles. You're in one right now :^)>You're not using them by choice, but obligation.Damn yeah that obligation of spending 15 minutes several years ago to mount a TV is really weighing down on me. However shall I recover?
What's the best linux to put on one of my old laptops for my mother in her late 60s? She has never used a computer not even with windows. I just need something she can watch Youtube on that is very simple. I want to just put a big icon on the desktop that just says Youtube so she can just click that to open Youtube and not have to think about anything else.
>>749833234>lcd feel equally as big as a CRT cope tried to.You try lifting 65" projection TV (because they never made CRTs that big lol) on your own and move it freely around your ESL shit shack.
>>749821464I love ghosting!
>>749833907>This isn't some seekret klub for NEETs. Some of us did well in life and still come back for the occasional shits and giggles.That sounds like pure denial, people doing well in life don't have the need to talk about in internet unless they're compensating>>749834103Needs 2 people like a 65" lcd display. What's your point? Both are heavy as fuck but complaining about only one is flat out dumb>because they never made CRTs that big lolI'm sure I saw at least once a CRT above 50" in stores.
>>749833907>Damn yeah that obligation of spending 15 minutes several years ago to mount a TVWhat were you doing that took you 15 minutes to put a tv? Being a snail?
>>749821464not sure what this has to do with video games
>>749834315Compensating for what? It's a Friday night, I'm in between my game changing maps with every reply and so far this is amusing to me. Should I remind you that you replied to me to start this convo lmao. You got so butthurt on your CRT superiority complex you're left with only personal insults to soothe your ego. >>7498343715 minutes to measure, drill and hang. 10 minutes waiting in line to fuck your mom (left because line was too long).
>>749834315>Needs 2 people like a 65" lcd displayI am the king of manlets and I can carry one on my own. How short and weak do you need to be to need help?>I'm sure I saw at least once a CRT above 50" in stores.No you didn't. It was a rear projection.
>>749834780>keeps compensatingNobody cares about your fake irl behaviour and you shouldn't assume it. >>749835019Legit saw 2 grown ups, avid gym workers moving a measly 50" lcd display togheter. It supposed to be easier to move but clearly it's not>No you didn't. It was a rear projection.No, I'm pretty sure I saw them. Also those bigger displays on tv studios' background but those were sold to the masses
>>749832128You forgot the worst thing about them, the constant high pitched whining sound.>>749834061Mint
>>749835394>the constant high pitched whining sound.You mean the electric buzzing? My lcd has it too and it's far worse than my crts for some reason
>>749835256>Nobody cares about your fake irl behaviour and you shouldn't assume it. >he says as he keeps replying >Legit saw 2 grown ups, avid gym workers moving a measly 50" lcd display togheter.Well yeah when you live in a turd world country what looks like avid gym goers to you are manlets to anyone with a wingspan bigger than 5ft.
>>749821464>Laptops are responsible for the fall of CRT screensCRTs are responsible for the fall of CRT screens. No one wants to have a giant 60 kilo box on their desk for any screen size over 20". I switched to LCD the moment I could afford one and never looked back.t. 40 y/o boomer
>>749835715>Well yeah when you live in a turd world country what looks like avid gym goers to you are manlets to anyone with a wingspan bigger than 5ft.>manlets1.80 cms tall people isn't manlet tier, anon>y-you caredPure cope.
>>749826848CRTs were like the smoking section in restaurants. It's good shit that they are gone and never coming back.
>>749835256>It supposed to be easier to move but clearly it's notA 50" weighs like 40 pounds. Your gym bros are either frauds or were being super careful.
>>749835889I don't think a 50" lcd weights only 20kg. I think it's above that
>>749821464I am sitting on the couch with my wife, I have WWE Smackdown on my big OLED TV, I have a laptop on my lap browsing 4chan with a set of XR glasses on my face that has two OLED screens. I am posting on 4chan while watching wrestling, with the semi-transparent screens on my eyes turning the browser into a sort of HUD that I can see through to the TV. Stop fighting the future, anon. It's pretty cool.
>>749835981I would suggest that you stop talking about shit you know nothing about.
>>749836270Even google shitty AI says around 16kg. It's you who is speaking about you don't know nothing about, or a weakling with ramen arms for measly 40 pounds
>>749821464no. having a huge fucking screen 1 person could cary up a flight of stairs killed crts.
>>749836473>reading comprehension I already stated that a 50" is not heavy at all and doesn't need 2 people. Go finsh english class before replying to me again.
>>749836781>I already stated that a 50" is not heavy at all and doesn't need 2 people.Then why I saw 2 beefy fucks moving one? Weight as an argument is a moot point for any normal person.
>>749821464no, CRTs got phased out because the early-mid 00s had an obsession with making technology as thin as possible.
>>749829178Really good for an hour and then its hot and everything will burn inStill much better than LCDs of the same age for casual use
>>749821531They have their place in history. Where they will stay forever lmfao.
