Reflective screens are better for your eyes. All of you who mutilate Game Boys with backlights are committing genocide and crimes against humanity. You are literally doing pic related to your consoles. Isn't it enough that you're constantly bombarded with LED lights and 8+ hours of screens that burn your retinas like laser pointers?
>>12000589Absolute retard take
It's funny how zoomers don't even know that we all went through the same panic with CRTs where your mother would constantly tell you to move away from the screen and its "dangerous radiation".
>>12000589I don't know about "better for your eyes", but I absolutely do prefer a reflective screen when there's abundant light around.Playing a Game Boy outside is a nice way to spend some off time on a sunny day. Of course, apartment dwellers might find it hard to find a nice spot outside to sit down and play. They have my sympathies, and they can have all the backlit LCDs they want.
originally the gameboy screen was slightly emissive from the trace amounts of uranium they added to the lcd (which was also responsible for the iconic green tint)
>>12000615Early CRTs really fried your eyes though.Google it
>>12000639I'm guessing you're referring to some early CRTs leaking more X-Rays than recommended.Can you mention a single case of anyone actually receiving serious eye damage from them?No? Then fuck with this retarded broscience based on barely remembered half-truth and sensationalist headlines. It's always the same shit by the same retards.

>>12000615- CRTs are no longer produced because they have inferior picture quality versus LCDs- CRTs emit dangerous levels of X-rays or other forms of radiation- CRTs always have easily-visible flicker- CRTs always cause eyestrain- CRTs always make a high-pitched squealing noise- CRTs contain lethal amounts of electricity, even when unplugged- CRTs need calibration more than two to three times a year- Overall CRT black levels are not superior to LCDs because ambient light ruins CRT black levels- Analog CRTs have more processing time than digital LCDs due to poor RAMDAC performance- Afterimages caused by phosphor decay are extremely annoying and are a significant downside of CRTs- Sending an improper mode (resolution or refresh rate) to a CRT can cause permanent damage- CRTs cannot have touchscreens- 4:3 is so bad that nobody should use a non-widescreen CRT- The Sony GDM-FW900 is the only CRT worth owning- Curved CRTs have objectively inferior picture quality versus flat CRTs with otherwise equal specifications- CRTs should not be used because they are heavier and deeper than LCDs- CRTs have severe reflections because they do not have matte coats- CRTs can be permanently damaged by nearby magnets- Analog signals limit a CRT's resolutions and refresh rates and negatively effect picture quality- Heavy metals are used in CRT glass to reduce radiation
>>12000614If by retard you mean based chad, then yes. He is indeed correct.
>>12000639That's why the glass of the tube is leaded, to prevent that.
>>12001079There are CRT touchscreens, didn't you go to a store in the early 2000s?4:3 is a good aspect ratio, though I prefer 3:2 or 16:10 nowadays. 16:9 is a meme.
>>12001161i went to stores in the 90s, secondary
>>12000615Man I spent countless summers trying to develop a mutant power and all I got was this lousy astigmatism
