Earlier there was a thread asking why CRTs aren't being produced anymore despite the increasing demand for them, and I may just know why.Simply, CRTs will be mass-produced once they're basically a dead and extremely rare commodity. When demand increases insanely high due to that alongside the rapid interest in retro games, companies will probably make new CRTs or at the very least televisions that have filters for retro gaming. But that's if the hobby continues to grow, but my guess is the growing scarcity of CRTs and the ever-growing interest in retro gaming will create enough demand for them to be produced again.What do you guys think anyway? Quite curious as to what others think.
The other thread is still up. Fuck off.
>>12572206This did not deserve it's own thread. You are not special. Fuck off.
>>12572216You sound butthurt.
>>12572223I am special, this site allows me to make myself special with a name, and allows me to make any thread I so desire and can broadcast whatever I want to say. Ywnbaw btw

You need to build it near a source of sand, you need the capital to get it going and keep it going indefinitely because glass manufacturing requires the things to be pumping 24/7 because if you ever stop the glass cools and clogs your entire shit and sometimes explodes, so when you make your leaded glass you need to be able to justify running it to produce a continuous flow of it for years and years. You can do it man just go ask some people around your local community to help you out. Better yet go draw up some plans to start your own CRT manufacturer and then go commission and existing manufacturer to do a run of leaded glass for you, something that they probably haven't done for over 20 years and their staff don't have the training to do anymore, and the whole thing has been hella regulated everywhere in the world since because lead is really bad for you and the environment, so you can probably spend a couple years with a lawyer getting that sorted out with whatever government body you have to go through to get approval for it. You can do it man keep believing.

>>12572206By the time CRTs are officially extinct I'm sure microLED tech will have advanced to the point where CRTs won't be relevant anymore. MicroLED has perfect black levels and effectively zero latency, the only real problem is how expensive they are to produce, which will come down over time. They're certainly cheaper than if you were to start trying to spin up CRT production again.

>>12572206There's no increasing demand for CRTs, it's a niche market.>When demand increases insanely highNever going to happen.
>>12572206???? post in the other thread retard
>>12572206its a me a yo noid
>>12572206tell plasma TV makers to restart that cancelled plasma tech.>inb5 plasmas are input lag too.irrelevent unless you pretend to be a "competitive" gamer who don't even win any prizes. plasma was the next logical step after CRTs. in terms of brightness and contrast anyway.right now the only advantages left for olde CRT TVs are:- dithering/composite blurness that made old console games look better. can be imitated with filters and bilinear upscaling but not perfect.- ability to display non-native resolutions with minimum artifacts/glitches. not really fixed in modern upscalers, hardware or software.the old CRTs now are probably not as bright or high contrast as they used to be. modern LED monitors beat them now. for "newer" PC games, the composite filters aren't even needed since 1990s+ PC game were basically RGB with crisp clear pixels on PC Monitors.
>>12574591OP is jealous of the success that thread has
>>12574612plasmas dont have lag. the entire screen refrshes as fast as the center of a crt. the top of a crt is faster, bottom slower than a plasma. over all an entire frame finishes faster on a plasma ( as long as you disable any post processing bs it might have in the menus)theres a guy on yt measuring this shit with a time slueth
>>12574873koolaid. make plasmas /vr/ tech again.
>>12573797Will still be the same sample and hold trash. Manufacturers will never make something that can replace CRT, because they don't want to. I am pretty sure they could have made an OLED with CRT like scanning already. But they never will, because manufacturers are allergic to consumer choice.
>>12574873Imagine being that kid in the year of our lord 2026
>>12574612I am a competitive gamer and I do win prizes tho
>>12576937>i win prizes.post them and and your fur suit.
>>12572206They are still discovering abandoned offices and warehouses full of them. Last one I saw some guy won 20 of them from a government auction and they had trouble giving them all away. There are rumors of nos crt tubes stored in China from the end of crt production and also many from when tv's were recycled in the 2010's.>>12575023I'm thinking something like a laser projector behind an aperture grill should mimick it really well, it could be a homebrew project or work like the virtual boy with its vibrating mirror and a laser.
