If I had to choose between a color TV that could only show live broadcasts or a B&W TV that could stream Netflix, etc., I would certainly choose B&W streaming. This obviously doesn’t require a smart TV—I personally use a Roku and rejected all of my Smart TV’s EULAs—but I consider streaming to be a much bigger objective improvement than color.
- fouc 5y agoThat would be a fun product actually.. kickstarter idea? B&W TV w/ built-in roku-like/streaming capabilities. I wonder how expensive it would be to manufacture a B&W TV these days
- Teever 5y agoIt would the exact same amount as a colour TV because the B&W would all be done in software.
- idonotknowwhy 5y agoIf you mean a bw crt, the consensus on the crt gaming sub is that it's too expensive and there are a lot of undocumented secrets :( I've found some Chinese factory which claims they can do it, but they seem to be using new-old-stock tubes. I believe EU regulations regarding lead in consumer products prevent this too.
- idonotknowwhy 5y agoI watch Netflix on a CRT TV in 2021 lol. Hook up a ps3 via component and it's a great way to watch older 4:3 content like anime
- hulitu 5y agoAre there any conpanies which sell CRTs TV?
- idonotknowwhy 5y agoNot any more, and they can't now (regulations about lead, etc). You can only buy them on the second hand market or find them on the side of the road.
