So recently I acquired my first vintage CRT. Connected to the computer it came with, fired t up and I must say, I was wowed. The black levels were just so inky black, I could not believe how good Jazz Jackrabbit looked. It must have been something like 20 years or even more since I last time gazed at CRT. To this day I always thought "CRT craze" had been just a fad, because I remember I was first on the line to ditch them back in the day, buying the first TFT which was was advertised as being pretty much the best money can buy (it was 1024*768 Sony if I remember correctly, costed me something like 600 euros back then) and I was very happy with it and getting rid of those bulky tubes that seemed like from dinosaur-era back then.
But yeah, I do see the point now. I must admit I was almost shocked seeing the picture 😁 And bear in mind this was just some early 14" run-of-the-mill display from early 90s, nothing fancy. It's almost funny how I had totally forgot, gotten used to the shenanigans of the flat screens.
What do you think of CRTs?
