>CRT hurts my eyes

>>5222323
I'm not wearing shades, no.

This waste of a thread will stay up yet anything concerning GBA gets deleted.

Think about that for a second.

I wear plus lenses (reading glasses) when I'm on my computer, for print-pushing. TVs usually don't hurt my eyes too bad, even CRTs.

What's most important is use your devices from far enough back and to take breaks.

>>5222329
I might try those 3D glasses for the SEGA System.
lol no, I'll stick with DOS roms, thanks.

>>5222328
GBA isn't allowed anyway.

>>5222328
because its not retro you underage faggot

I'm an oldish fart and the light from CRTs is one of the reasons I never liked them.

Old laptop displays have severe issues with ghosting and blurry movement, you're probably better off connecting an external monitor

There is now a whole generation of zoomers whose eyes can't handle the superior contrast of CRTs because they're so used to the shitty contrast with grey blacks and weak whites of modern LCD's.
We truly are in the end times.

Read over OP's post again, he clearly meant 90's laptop displays and just called them by the wrong name

The actually made laptops with crts inside? Either way, I'm sure eye strain is caused more by the ambient lighting than anything. Make sure the environment around you is well-lit. Ideally you want a bright light just behind the monitor or slightly on the side

Your room looks exactly the same every god damn time.

>>5222319
Oh shit, I had one of those. 700mhz P3, 512mb of ram, 20gb hdd, and a 3d graphics card by someone or other. That thing was an absolute beast of a Win98 machine.
Still boots too, though it's in shitty shape.

That's not how you spell wet

>>5223212
>grey blacks
You mean like the blacks of CRTs?

>>5222615
I could understand the flickering, but not "the light"

>>5223806
Depends on the CRT.

>>5223212
I help run a game convention. We have about 75 CRT's. I personally own 15, including a PCCRT. Almost all of them have grey tinted screens. Even my 11 year old Gateway 1680x1050 had better blacks.

>>5223814
Yeah, some have even worse blacks.

>>5223806
>>5223820
If you think a switched off monitor shows how the crt handles blacks, you're more zoomer than we thought.

>>5223974
>posts a CRT with gray blacks
goddamn it anon you were so close

>>5223974
Would you care to explain how you think a CRT can produce a black darker than the colour of the screen when turned off?

>>5224053
The electrons are set to black.

Based. CRTs are meme tech.

>>5222615
light your room properly and your eyes won't hurt as much, smarty

I know I'll get flack for this.
Honestly gunnar glasses or similar eyewear might help. I have to stare at computer monitors all day for my job and I used to get wicked migraines. The gunnar glasses really helped, I might be placeboing myself but idfc it works for me.

>>5224053
make the room darker, now the screen is darker, can't do that with an LCD.

>>5222319
>laptop
>CRT
Zoomer or just retarded?

>>5224312
Why won't your mommy let you turn off the lights?

i finally understand the purpose of /vr/

to think people actually take this board seriously

>>5223274
It's almost like I took one picture and posted it over and over! I got rid of it over a year ago now anyways.

>>5223642
Wet?

>>5223810
That's just how I describe it. They have always looked very glarey to me, like looking into a lightbulb. I always hated them.

>>5224251
You got that right. One of the games good enough to have kept that pos around so long.

The issue isn't the frame rate, it's the refresh rate. Admittedly, there isn't too much you can do about that unless you've got the CRT attached to a PC.

Also, laptops don't have CRT monitors. That's impossible.

>>5224965
>That's impossible.
Imagine lacking the testicular fortitude to use an Osborne One.

>>5225146
Imagine the lack of age to have never used one and the lack of intelligence to think it's a laptop
