Be aware of the energy you are wasting, a modern tv uses much less power than a crt.

It’ll be because I‘ve been deemed surplus to requirements by the algorithm and smooshed down into base nutrients with everyone else, thank you very much.
They have sad sadly in a box for far too long, I really need to go find an old crt and stop living in shame.
Next up, article on the advantages of eating cyanide. Doesn't matter about the advantages - the disadvantages far outweigh them.
What’s the disadvantage of crts that outweighs all the advantages?
There's something so comfy looking about CRT monitors. I know it's just nostalgia, but there's something in that. I've been playing a lot of Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) recently. The games are alright, but honestly they kind of suck when objectively compared to modern games. I still enjoy them though, but that's because they take me back to simpler times. I'm not sure I'd use a CRT monitor for any of it's tech specs, b…
Sure the games might not have had as much breadth or depth at times, but I feel today's games are far more generic in general, you have to go searching for interesting concepts, rather than just browsing what is 'on the shelf' at the shops.

But I thought by now I would no longer be annoyed by those.
Probably I'm less annoyed than before.
I can't imagine loving a monitor the way I loved my iiyama Vision Master Pro. 1600x1200 at 71Hz driven from a Matrox Millennium (4MB VRAM and no 3D acceleration whatsoever) with soft-edged pixels and no visible grain or mesh. It was by far the best computer-related object I had ever owned. But that would be so impractical now, given its bulk and what else is available. We actually still have a CRT as our main TV here…

That's only for TVs, though. Computer monitors had higher refresh rates and were not audible.
I could hear them. They can't have been that high.

It did? I thought they're advertising themselves based on how effectively they can blind you. You could turn down the brightness on a CRT down to 10% or less at night and still use it.
Why can’t you turn the brightness down on your lcd?

After you use one for ten hours, you go home with a weird tension/buzz in your head. Doesn't happen with LCDs.
