They have their own problems and drawbacks. I wouldn't really want to go back to the not-quite-perfectly-sharp look of CRTs, nor would I want the potential geometric distortion, nor would I want to give up the higher resolution I have now, or the refresh rate at high resolution that is possible with LCDs. CRTs also tended to be very big for their screen size, there's no fucking way I could fit 3 27" CRTs on my desk the way I do with LCDs right now.
I want an actual upgrade from current LCDs, not just 1 step forward and 2 steps back like what going back to CRTs would be.

Shut the fuck up you fucking autist. You crt kiddies are so fucking annoying. He wants an actual upgrade in tech not a step back to fucking tubes. Jesus Christ.

Isn't burn-in what killed plasma? The tech for it in later iterations wasn't an issue, but because it seemed like the stigma for burn-in caused plasma to never really take off.
Isaiah Perry
The step back is a step forward, no need to get so mad. All these things and more would be possible on CRT if the technology was continually developed. Too bad we just had to settle for what display manufacturers had an easier time shipping and manufacturing rather than what was better. Now we're stuck with it.

Plasma consumed A LOT more electricity.

I remember when tvs were an appliance. Something you'd buy every 10-25 years because it just worked. Now all tvs are literally giant smartphones that you replace every 2 years because "the new model came out" or because a part actually failed causing you to buy a new tv anyway, thank you planned obsolescence!

Plasma was kinda shit for everything except image quality >consumes power like motherfucker and heats up like a grill >bulky >plasma tech is hard to engineer for resolutions above 1080p with consumer size TVs, there’s limits on how small plasma cells you can make without it being expensive as fuck >burn-in

>my LCD/LED tv just got hit with the burn-in thing any way to fix it or am I fucked?
