Tell me again why can't we have CRT television anymore. Aren't there people memeing them as the best equipment for performance gaming and the only way to play old games with the visual effects the developer intended? I'm sure there's people willing to cash money for even a few as luxury items, so why is it that we have seen none? Feels sad to see a great piece of technology not receiving any advancements when engineering keeps making things easier.

My younger brother does play his classic consoles on a CRT~

You sound like an autist and a luddite. If youre so bothered by modern techology, then why the fuck are posting on a science and math themed forum, and why are you even on a computer to begin with? Your post make no sense.

Years ago my parents owned a "top of the line" 32" CRT TV. The thing cost a small fortune and weighed over 300 lbs. It took several people to get it into their new house when they moved. After the vacuum tube broke they got an LCD TV with a screen that was more than twice as large, with several times the resolution and framerate, and it cost them barely a fraction what they paid for the CRT. And best part is that it didn't weigh as much as a gorilla.

>Feels sad to see a great piece of technology not receiving any advancements
The switch from CRT to LCD was the advancement OP.

You can't have them because the last company that made them sold their equipment to a manufacturer in China that could not figure out how to make the wire winding machine work so they scrapped it. Humanity has more or less lost the capability to create CRTs. If our survival depended on making them again, we'd figure it out, but as it stands now, the expertise has been lost.

Well, they had a very good reason to not continue to put money into infrastructure and training to make them. No one fucking wanted them and 99.999% of people still don't

CRTs got killed because they actually allow you to timetravel and shit.

You are literally shooting electrons at your eyeballs that become quantum entangled.

Its no coincidense you can buy 0 new crts

placebo effect, the same as the audiophile faggots yapping about muh vinyl, muh flac, muh golden ear, etc
>the only way to play old games with the visual effects the developer intended
same, just because the game was designed for a shitty display doesnt mean it wont look good on a better one
in 10 years when skyrim becomes retro, there will be faggots claiming that you have to play it on an ancient video card with graphics setting to low because thats how people played it back then and "part of the experience"
>I'm sure there's people willing to cash money for even a few as luxury items, so why is it that we have seen none?
they can have the old ones, just change the caps or whatever components that go bad over time
>Feels sad to see a great piece of technology not receiving any advancements when engineering keeps making things easier.
you see, we dont make wrought iron anymore, because steel is better and now that we have large blast furnaces it is way cheaper, so there is no point in making it anymore. same with CRTs

CRT's picture shrinks in and out depending on how bright the image is. It's very apparent if you watch a letter-boxed 16:9->4:3 video on a HD 16:9 CRT so it's letter-boxed on all sides.

The main question in both cases is "what were the artists looking at when they drew the art." For console games, that's almost certainly a high-quality professional monitor like a PVM.

For games like Skyrim, or even Gamecube games, artists were using SGI workstations and the like with high resolution CRTs. They'd have more in common with modern monitors than your grandma's old tube.

Same for audio: nobody has mastered audio on vinyl since the 1930s or some shit. It's going to sound best on digital equipment, like the ones used in the studio. If they used analogue equipment in the studio, then you better be damn sure that you replicate that equipment's transfer function, or it'll sound like dogshit.

Get an OLED TV. They're expensive, but they have nearly identical operating characteristics to CRTs, but with they're even lighter than LCDs.

It's pretty funny to me to see gakking all over OLEDs, when they look pretty much like CRTs did back in the 1970s. But hey, big screens are big.

That sounds more likely to cause some health problem than time travel, if anything.

They're heavier, and as such more expensive to transport and slower to sell.

There is flatscreen and leightweight crt technology, but it's being patent squatted by kodak

In the end of the day it really is a cost of production and difficulty of repair issue.
You have no idea how easy it is to make a flat panel these days.
it is quite literally cutting paper at the appropriate sizes at this point.

>shooting electrons at your eyeballs
the way it works is it shoots electron at the screen that absorbs it and releases photons.
why would it shoot electrons at you are you fucking retarded

Remember when ps one image would rotate circles on my finlux. That becouse it wasnt completly synced.

Vinyl is just objectively worse than digital for music though. There is a case to be made that this art was supposed to look like the left image and not the right one
