I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
Not sure if joke, but hells yeah, they used to being a huge fucking block to your door.
I mean we still send out people to collect bags of ice. It’s a shame we keep losing people. Probably should sell the bags for more than $2.50.
