- gogopuppygogo 6y agoDuckhunt only works on a CRT with the original light gun. What are your priorities?

- gogopuppygogo 6y agoThat is not the original light gun.
- mywittyname 6y agoSome of those last generation CRTs had amazing picture. I had one from 2003 or so that could do 2048x1564 with a picture better than anything you could get from an LCD until the late 2000s.

- TheFlash 6y agoEurogamer did write a review about playing modern games on a (very good) CRT monitor [1]. It's better than any LCD and even OLED monitors according to them: [1] https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-modern-games-look-beautiful-on-crt-monitors https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-moder...
- dmead 6y agoimpressive. I'd super appreciate the image quality but it's really hard top give back the desk space to a monitor like it's 2003 again.

- speeder 6y agoVery good that article. A point not mentioned there but that is a major reason for me to use CRT: Contrast. The contrast in most flat screens I tried is just terrible, a classic example I use is trying to play Superhot and then watch Game of Thrones right after... Superhot was everything white, so I fiddled with the controls until it was playable. Then Game of Thrones everything was black. So I fixed it... then went back to Superhot and everything was white again. With CRT after I adjusted it, I don't need to adjust anymore.
