A good thing too. Secondhand CRTs are getting scarcer and demand is increasing. It’s a very schizophrenic microeconomic case study.
- grawprog 6y agoI've still got a couple. Got rid of one last time I moved. Haven't used any of them in around 10 years now. ETA: Wait, I used the CRT monitor on my desktop server sometime about 5 years ago after a power outage and I needed to restart the server.
- speeder 6y agoMy problem now is how to ugprade my GPU :( My favourite monitor is a CRT, currently plugged into a R9 380X, that is the most recent GPU + RAMDAC combo... newer video cards do not have RAMDAC anymore :( Also I do have the CRT main problem too... I own a Television that I intend to use to play old consoles, and that TV is from a very sought after model, but it is stuck on my parents house because it is so big and heavy that there is no physical space inside my apartment to put it :/ It will wait until I move into a ground-level house to use it... (I still regularly turn it on and use for other things, it works great)
- willis936 6y agoThe lack of RAMDACs in new GPUs is a real problem. The nicest DP-VGA adapters I can find need to be imported from Germany and even they top out at around 200 MHz pixel clocks before there are sync drops. When the blanking time is factored in, 1600x1200 at 75 Hz is unstable. Very disappointing when I have a P1130 (rebranded G520, 1200 TVL).
