Well son CRTs were better technology but the corporate jews were not making enough profit and they dont give a fuck about quality so they invented cheap shitty LCDs to sell to retards like you.

My problem with CRTs is that I like to be up close to my games so the screen covers a large portion of my field of vision. But even on high end ones, you have to be quite a distance away before you can't see the pattern of the dots.

>Resolution listed as a disadvantage for LCD
Stopped reading there.
>>2343735
That would be fucking retarded. You'd add software interpolation to a CRT? May as well use a LCD then. You just got rid of about the only advantage a CRT has.

>> No.2343881

>>2343869
You should read it because it literally explains why lcd is shit. Crt can do any resolution without scaling. Sure lcd can do higher resolutions like 4k but anything lower will look like shit because 4k is the native res.

Do you put your face an inch away from the screen? Never had this issue.

>> No.2343891

>>2343881
It's funny because it says there that LCDs scaling makes things look worse than CRT, but everything on a CRT looks blurry to me. I prefer LCD screens by a landslide.

But also this >>2343863 I like to be up close and CRT just plain looks awful up close.

>> No.2343892

>>2343865
Are you confusing lightboost with gsync? Gsync wouldnt cause a drop in brightness.

>> No.2343896

>>2343881
That's not true at all.
That article is also from 2011. LCDs have come a long way. A good LCD is miles better than any CRT. And if you really want to be blown away go look at something like a X950 from Sony or one of the high end OLED TVs.

>> No.2343897

>>2343891
Please tell me how you can magically upscale something like 320x240 to 1080p? There is no magic perfect upscaler, it just make things look less shitty. LCDs only run best with native resolution stuff.

>implying Illusion would ever bother with an international release instead of clinging to xenophobic notions of "foreigners can't get our toys".

Although come to think of it, if they got the guy who put together Huniepop to do an actual translation with an English voice cast, holy shit would that thing sell.

I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm saying I think it looks far better than on a CRT. But I just hate the look of a CRT monitor. You don't have to agree with me though.

Can you post a proper screen of it from a capture card or something? I can't really tell much from those low resolution shots of what appear to be photos of an LCD.

What is proper about it? You need to stop. Framemeister has a better image than a CRT.

First time I've ever heard someone bash CRTs so much. I have a feeling you would of chosen the LCD even without the framemeister because you hate CRTs.

I don't hate CRTs. They are great for what they are. I would had gone with one over my LCD if they weren't on life support.
But I wouldn't had gone for one because it's better. I would had bought one because it's what I had as a kid.

If you're going to compare picture quality you need to be realistic. LCDs have passed CRTs for awhile now in picture quality.
>>2343928
>what about motion blur?
What about it? There's strobing backlights and interpolation.
>what about lag?
LCD will probably always have more lag. But there are TVs with sub 1 frame of lag. That's not a noticeable difference.

>> No.2343941

>>2343926
Not really "better", just comparable.

I thought about getting one, then I came to my senses and didn't buy a $1000 toy that does the exact same thing as a free CRT television.

The default upscaling on my Plasma isn't even horrible, though.
