Digital Foundry just did a video on why CRTs are """better""" than IPS displays. Get ready for the prices of CRTs to go up even worth and for even shitty sets to start costing an arm and a leg.
This is why gate-keeping is a good thing.

I wish I kept my old CRT's.
Why? They're heavy, low-resolution, noisy, and need constant adjustment. If you want true blacks that much just buy an OLED set.
>Brother finally moves out of the house
>Finally have room to move my Sony CRT back in the house
>Me and my friend pick it up and as we are both carrying insight, we start to hear a bunch of pops and cracks.
>Soon a big chuck my friend was grabbing just shatters into a thousand plastic pieces, we lose balance but set the tv down gently
>The plastic cracking started a chain reaction and before we knew it we had a pile of broken plastic bits with a big ol tube sticking out pointing into the air
The plastic mustve dried over many years, no longer a able to support the immense weight
I smash every CRT monitor or tv i find on the street
I'm glad I managed to gather: three computer monitors, five TVs and six arcade monitors (all in cabinets) for 20 bucks not counting the cost of the whole arcade cabinets. I acquired them over the years since 2013, the 20 bucks came from one of the computer monitors.
>zoomers think old shit randomly gets Thanos'd after a few years
Fake-ass story.
LOL these fucking kids. Seriously, man. I played on CRT TVs up to a mammoth 46" tube that weighed as much as a car, and monitors from 1981 through 2001. Nothing they do justifies giving up 85" displays and 4k resolutions with embedded Smart-TV features. But you guys have fun with those memes. If you remember, be sure to make fun of yourself in 6 months when you realize you never touch your CRTs anymore because you realized a 55"+ 4k screen is more luxurious than darker blacks.
If CRTs were remotely competitive, they'd still make them in bulk for the consumer class. And no, it's not because they're expensive to make. It's because most people are dumbshits that would pay $1000+ for CRTs.
I'll have to keep an eye on this. Might be a good time to finally get rid of mine.
Only autists would care about this. If your life is so fucking empty that you actually care about this type of shit unironically kill yourself
