OK, will do, but of course it's too late to edit this one now.

This discussion made me want to refresh my understanding of current Apple monitors and if they have anything to offer. I looked at the Apple Studio Display glossy and matte versions at the Apple store. The matte version uses "nano coating" instead of whatever regular matte LCDs use, and is a $200 addon despite being inferior. -1 The reflections of the glossy screen are far worse than what you get with most (all?) CRT…
> and no motion blur which makes them sharper any time you view a moving image (yep I'm aware that you people don't understand this)
I understand they have motion blur. That wasn't my original point.
CRT made me sick. I was forced to use them for years and they fucked my eyesight. LCD resolved that issue.
Absolute zero fucks given to all of your points here. I have to use monitors for work and need something that doesn't torture my eyeballs. CRT is hell if I need to stare at it all day.
> You're a fucking dumbass.
No amount of autistic screeching bullshit will ever convince me to go back to using a CRT for daily work. Cheers.

Wow. I'm impressed that you were crazy enough to come back and post this detailed review that no one else will ever read. > and no motion blur which makes them sharper any time you view a moving image (yep I'm aware that you people don't understand this) I understand they have motion blur.

You need shorter pulses than 10 or 5 milliseconds to reduce motion blur down to the level of CRTs. 100 Hz would only be sufficient if the BF takes up > 90% of the time, instead of the usual 50%. What causes motion blur is the frame being held for a period of time. BFI merely reduces that time by half. On CRTs, each pixel is only held for 100 microseconds or so.
Hmm, I haven't thought this far into it, what matters is probably how long the persistence of vision of the human is. For the LG CX OLED ( https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_cx_oled ) (oddly one of the only OLEDs that have BFI) we can see they have no problem pulsing the pixels on on for only 3-4ms ( https://tftcentral.co.uk/images/lg_cx_oled/bfi_120_high.png ) (5ms divisions), resulting in these images (which I can…
You made me think about an interesting point I long avoided going into.

You don't know what you're talking about. LCDs were completely unusable until the mid 2000s, even then they were all 60Hz/75Hz with no black frame insertion, which made any animation what so ever, even text scrolling blurred to crap. It took me years to figure out that this was why I suddenly couldn't read any text scrolling on logs on terminals. Yes, CRTs, flicker, it's a feature, it prevents motion blur. You're mea…

Where are you every time some stupid Apple or Tesla user explains how other people are just "poor" so they won't get why their overpriced garbage is so good? Nowhere. You're just an autistic moderator and will always be a bane to society with your social pedantry.

Actually people who consistently spread misinformation that powers the corporate racket that normalizes low quality technology deserve to be shamed, you just naively value politeness over correctness, which I am very aware is a huge problem with sites like HN, Slashdot, and Reddit.

Motion blur is an area where impulse displays like CRTs still excel compared to sample-and-hold displays like LCD and OLED.
OLED can easily be implemented with black frame insertion. You could even do it yourself at from the GPU/software level given a sufficiently high refresh rate if the monitor units are still too stupid to provide it as a working option. I'm more worried about the terrible spectrum of light they emit as with seemingly all LED tech, and the viewing angle.

In theory yes. You’d need a sufficiently high refresh rate (1000 Hz or better I would guess) and corresponding brightness.
