I grew up with crt both as tv and computer monitor.

The last crt I regularly used was the shared tv in my dorm, which I moved out of in 2008.

I absolutely have no memory of them being superior.

Digital Foundry did a write-up on it:

Left and right panning is also an issue in cinema.

Are we sure this is a lcd issue and not a frame rate?

I remember the weight and desktop real estate they consume.

We had 21" CRTs back in the 90s for full page displays. I remember someone at a client injuring their back moving one. One of my former coworkers broke a desk by putting a CRT on it. I had a 27" TV that I could barely lift. Now I can easily move 55" TVs. I haven't gotten stronger in the past 30 years.

I had a Sony HD CRT widescreen that weighed 245 pounds. The image was incredible , especially the blacks.

While I love the CRTs I have on some old hobby builds, I’m extremely doubtful a “new” CRT could be manufactured at a price people would want to pay.

It would sell to a niche if it was affordable; I just don’t think the manufacturing infrastructure exists anymore to make this at a price people would pay.

Let’s not forget the weight either - a modern CRT running something approaching a size and resolution we expect in 2022 is going to easily exceed 20kgs. Apple’s last 21 inch CRT before the switch to an all LCD line was 35 kgs.

nah they were SO BAD dollar for dollar compared to LCD.

I am not nostalgic for the days when 3 hours of using your PC felt like frying your eyes with lasers.
