Xbob42 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 They go into a lot more detail than last time, even talking about how for a general desktop experience a flat panel is superior, but for pure gaming, CRT just eats LCDs and LEDs for breakfast and it isn't even close. Also brought on a new person who wasn't part of the last video just to show it wasn't those two nerding out in a bubble. I gotta get me one of these chunky boys, I miss mine.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Plus all the gamer nerds turned to wimps with easy to carry monitors. If we still had CRTs nerds would be ripped as fuck lifting 150 pound CRTs. 💪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The most important benefit to modern screens compared to CRTs is size. I can understand there are some real benefits to CRTs, but I'll take whatever minor visual downgrades for that nice big screen any day.

It also sucks Panasonic pulled out of the US market. They still sell in Canada but your warranty would be void taking it over to the US.

silentbob Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 8 hours ago, Raggit said: Is Gears of War 5 really that... blue? It just might partly be my phone camera. Yeah it has a bit of blue from the ice but a bit of white tends to push a bit of blue in some other pics I have taken. Might not be the best example but the darker pic is from my JVC 950 (iPhone 6+ camera) which doesn’t have the HDR tone mapping like my new NX7 has. So it was using a custom gamma setup by another user on the avsforum. From the Blade Runner 2049 UHD disc, just a few secs off from each other. As you can see the NX7 pic also has a blueish tone as well. Hoping to get enough money at Xmas to buy a spyderx elite calibrator to make my picture quality the best it can be JVC 950 NX7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Crt are great for some things but not all things. The early days of the ps3/360 were brutal for me on CRT. I’d get crazy eye fatigue and headache over some games like oblivion. I think I found what caused the most problems where heavy use of POM and abused normal mapping.

May have had more to do with low fps. Low fps on a CRT is extra bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it more had to do with a mix of interlacing and Parallax occlusion mapping regardless if the fps was high or low, I would get the same issue. I didn't have the same problem on an LCD and less of an issue on a progressive scan CRT with POM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it may be related to the interlacing and POM causing a lot of shimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
