Why did people choose to stop developing crt tvs?

You can pick up tube TV's for bargain prices at thrift stores. Most will let them go for $10 or less.

They’re fucking heavy

>shows colors and especially black better than anything else I own
you own garbage

What exactly made them so fucking heavy?

I got strong doing lan parties with a 19 inch crt.

They have to have lead shielding to protect the users from radiation

Big thrift stores don't even take tube TVs anymore. You can find them on CL too, usually for free or just a couple bucks.

>this is what zoomers really believe

Thick ass glass screen. They where awkward to carry because all the weight is up front.

I want to get a bunch of them and build an 80s style TV wall like a supervillain

the main reason is because they take up more space

>Low res

Bullshit. There were PC monitors back in the day that could do 1440p at +60hz. Only reason we didn't see CRTs with 1080p was because there wasn't any content around for it.

because flat panels were liek so cool when they started coming out

that TV in the pic you posted has a warped picture, not a flat screen

Plasma TV's were the benchmark for quality until recently because of the picture quality and the 600hz scan rate, which completely eliminated flicker. The drawbacks were that they weighed as much as arnold schwarzenegger, and they consumed 500+ watts. They also had burn-in issues and the phosphors eventually quit, so the TV faded over time.

This. They're significantly cheaper to manufacture than Carts were. Also, because LCD/Plasma/OLED TV's are so thin, it costs far less to ship large numbers of them across the ocean from slantland, since you can fit 5-6x as many flat screens into a shipping container as you would CRT's of a similar screen size.

I want a launch control facility like in wargames where the monitors are slanted and set in the desks I always liked that. bunker in goldeneye was neat too

Everyone saying they were heavy and bulky etc could that not have been helped if they continued development instead of moving to flat screen lcd/plasma etc

Attached: .jpg (800x459, 67K)

Also, it's hard as fuck to build a CRT TV that's bigger than 36", which is tiny by today's standards. Sony sold that 40" one in the early 2000s, and it weighed over 100lbs. That said, I'd love to see someone build a 50" widescreen 4k or 8K CRT just for autism's sake. That would be pretty rad.

People dreamed of flat screens in their home for decades and now you whiny millennial bitches can get them for under $500.

had better picture quality for a while not now tho
had better sound.

just to heavy

Except it's literally true bruh

See , the glass contains lead, it's to shield the user from the electrons and shit emitted by the CRT/phosphorus screen

Fucking thing is emitting particles to display images

Magnets, copper, glass, etc. Every step up in resolution or inches meant you got exponentially heavier.

These days, most LCDs and OLEDs are basically just circuit boards, some chips, wires and sheet metal and a thin-as-fuck panel.

back to the future's thing was such shit. even before people dreamed about them, there were tvs with wall cavities. my old house had a whole wall of bookshelves and cabinets and a tv cutout so it was flush. it's nothing new to want a tv that is set against a wall

Do you even know what CRT means?

Cathode ray tube
Cathode ray = electron ray
Electron ray = beta radiation

This is literally beginner tier stuff how can you not know this

Imagine making claims on a subject you know nothing about

>"dude just buy a $1000+ TV"

The high energy electrons hit the phosphos which convert them into visible light. There is some small amount of potentially dangerous energy coming through but most of it is filtered out by the phosphors and the glass itself.

dad refuses to get rid of them because they cost $2000 or whatever lmao. I get it's not my house but what's the point of keeping them when they are of no use nor of any value to anyone?

this, especially for gaming. i still have a crt hooked up to my old guitar hero games because getting 100% on a high level song on expert is nearly impossible on a flat screen, no matter how much you adjust for lag, try it on the crt and it becomes childs play. but honestly unless you are doing something that requires 20+ inputs per second the lag isn't that noticeable, especially in game modes

There isn't enough lead oxide in the glass to add any significant weight, stop being a retard. CRTs were heavy because you had a heavy as fuck chunk of glass in it, the walls of the tubes were thick as fuck, because they had a vacuum inside, and they had to be strong enough to not implode.
The electromagnetic radiation emitted from tube tvs was not dangerous, in anything built after the 70's, when they changed how tubes were built, because they discovered x-rays were dangerous. Anything built in the late 80's or later was using different designs and components that limited if not removed any risk of x-rays. CRTs were not radiation bombs, and didn't have THAT much lead or other elements in the glass that shielded x-rays and other electromagnetic radiation. The phosphorus screen didn't "emit" anything but light. Stop being ignorant on the internet.

grow up manchild

>Electron ray = beta radiation
I hope this is bait, nobody could be this stupid.

Cathode rays are actually a vacuum, and when inert CRTs actually weigh almost nothing. When you pick it up you mix all the electrons up inside the vacuum and cause it to gain mass. That's why you were supposed to just put it on the dolly each CRT was sold with and let the vacuum settle before wheeling it around.

Neat fact-when you smash CRTs you're actually releasing trapped electrons and expanding the mass of the universe.

Remember the Titans

>Yea that's why I'm telling you the glass contains lead and is heavy as fuck
There is not enough lead in the glass to add significantly to the weight. And, it's not pure lead, they used a lead oxide. Maybe 3,4 pounds of a 100 pound crt would be from the added lead.

>But since all that is a quantum mechanical process you still are getting bukkaked by electrons lead or not
You don't have the first fucking clue what you're talking about, do you? The risks from CRTs was XRAYS, not fucking "electron bukkake', whatever the fuck that means.

"quantum mechanical process" - really spastic? Really? We're just throwing words together now, hoping they make sense?

>I don't think CRTs are legally even allowed to be produced for retail use anymore

CRTs are still produced and have never been prohibited in production or use in any way. They're still made and sold all over the world.

"I don't think" sums you up perfectly. You should try that more, before posting nonsense.

The EU has done nothing of the sort. They wanted to ban plasmas, because of how much power they use, and they throw regular conniption fits over recycling of CRTs, but they are in no way banned. Do you just make shit up to try and have a point?

I remember when plasma tvs were incredibly expensive

I've never actually seen one of these in person so it's nice to know I didn't miss much.

Most home media at the time (including video games up til the 360 and PS3) relied on the resolution and composite masking that CRT's offered. VHS and DVD look alright on a CRT because there's less detail being shoved through the output signal. It's also kinda why the image is somewhat blurry when you use official hookups for video game consoles that were made by Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo or whoever that were intended for HD Flatscreens.

Yeah, LCD screens are cheap fucking garbage. That's why they took over the industry. Higher profits for lower input for a vastly inferior product.

That's not a warped picture, you fucking moron. You've clearly never seen a CRT on in real life. What actually happens is that you can see a clear picture from just about anywhere in the room, whereas with an LCD screen if you look from anything less than a dead on angle all the fucking colors turn to shit.

Just a reminder that CRT technology is better than LCD, LED, and OLED. The only reason they stopped making them is because the others are easier to make and are smaller, not because they are better at displaying kinos.
Just a reminder that we were denied the superior thin TV technology, SED, because of a lawsuit
digitaltrends.com/home-theater/canon-loses-sed-tv-patent-ruling/
They decided not to release them after the lawsuit was over because LCD and LED were already out for years and they didn't feel that people would be willing to pay twice as much for a new technology when people just switched to LCD and LED even if SED is superior.
>but muh new TV looks better than a 1970s CRT
LCD, LED, and OLED technology is inherently inferior to CRT and SED/FED.
Heres an analogy, A and B are racing, A is a better runner than B and it looks like A is going to easily win and he should, but A suddenly stops running and B ends up winning. Yes, B may have won but A is superior and the only reason he lost is because he stopped running for whatever reason. Only a dumb piece of shit would say B is superior just because he won that race.
That said, I do have a high end LCD because I like physical copies and want to view my blu-rays and 4k UHD blu-rays on a screen they were meant for. I watch VHS and some DVDs on CRT. I would much prefer some company to start selling new and further developers CRTs or at least SED or FED so I can stop using my LCD. I would pay at least twice as much for one and even more if it were made in the US.

I don't know why the "CRTs have good blacks" myth has persisted for so long. I think where most people get confused is when they hear that the screen emits zero light in areas of the image that are black. And while this may be true, they neglect to take into account the fact that the screen itself is not even close to black to begin with.

Where can one even get a decent CRT? What and when were the last models made?

High contrast colour that isn't properly graded is what makes that buzzing noise.

There was a midget inside to manually control things whenever you sent him a command with the remote control.

It outlived my own mother!
It wasn't until she passed away and I took over the family house that I was finally able to get it out on the street for trash pick up day, along with the old busted washer.
I got to admit, I got my $$$ worth out of that set in good son points.

Plasmas are still the best. I just watched a Laserdisc on my plasma TV this evening. That combination can’t be beat.

i remember in high school our teacher let us watched the beheading of that captured american soldier in iraq on his computer monitor in shop class back in 2004.

shit traumatized me back then.

My old tv spontaneously burst into flames one night. True story.

do you live in a 3rd world shithole somewhere where crts are still new?
these pieces of shit are literally junk in usa and other developed countries

If you have a crt that isn't subject to blooming the black levels are better than va, plasma, and oled.
We're talking 0.01 cd/m2 on something like a pvm or trinitron clones.

It's entirely dependant on the lighting conditions.
>PVM
They have even worse blacks than consumer sets because they were designed to be used in light controlled environment.

No more a measure of a crts black level than it is over in projectorland. You're deliberately misconstruing an industry standard term.
