Good video on CRTs vs 21st century gaming!

This is it. Now PCs are scoring CRT monitors. Seems to be the Trinitron at the top. The thing is no motion blur.

If this ever becomes a major thing and the refresh rate of LCD and 4K OLED cannot be smoothed out, what are the chances of CRTs being produced again? I know this is far fetched of course (there are a heck of alot of CRT monitors still out there).. I could see some Chinese offshoot company producing a slimline widescreen high resolution and DPI CRT for gaming.. Am I crazy for thinking this??

Lol. Call me a hipster, I guess.

I'm a pc gamer, and I never quit using a CRT monitor. People laugh. It gives a better image, especially for gaming.

Also, nobody likes motion blur.

If there are companies out there manufacturing mechanical keyboards with exclusive rights to specific keyswitches and an MSRP north of $400, There has to be light for a new CRT market.
I do not by any means regret squirreling away any premium CRT monitor I could get my hands on.

Y'all are making me want another LaCie 22" for my desktop, and I don't even game!

Now if we could petition Sony, Barco, or Electrohome to make a 4K CRT projector They would need hella big picture tubes as 9" one barely resolve 1080p.

Sony did make an HD Wide Screen CRT TV for a while around 2007 or 2008, I have seen them and they were heavy suckers to boot, they were known as the Grand WEGA TVs in the 32" and 36" size CRTs and they even had 3 HDMI ports on the back to boot for full 1080p video from the then new progressive scan DVD Players that had full 1080p Upscaling.

I believe those TVs when they were brand new were around $1,500.00 which was about as much as a brand new Flat Panel TV from that time period of similar size.

Maybe a decade or two down the road. The existing supply is starting to dwindle but its still easy enough to get old CRTs for free. A purveyor of new CRTs wouldn't want to compete with that.

I have talked to people who say they cant tell the difference!

Im my opinion one has to be blind not to be able to tell!!!

Those flat screen things hurt my eyes to look at,they are horrible!!

I love my CRTs and am grateful I have good stuff!!
