Why is that a surprise? I still have my old childhood 15” CRT and in fact still regularly use it to play old games consoles.
The picture looks as good as the day I bought it so why would I throw it away?

- OGWhales 5y agoFor old game consoles, CRTs can actually look better than a modern day LCD. Edit: https://imgur.com/a/JGr57WE https://imgur.com/a/JGr57WE

- laumars 5y agoThat’s oxymoronic. It clearly looked good when it was state of the art, it is only when compared to more modern technologies that CRTs look bad. But even by modern standards, CRTs are widely considered better looking for games. Not just retro consoles where the sprites were designed to take advantage of the blurring effect (thus using the limitations of the display to create new colours and emulate alpha blending) but also many modern gamers are starting to see the appeal of CRTs too because it means they can run their games at lower resolutions without them looking pixelated and turn all the rendering effects up to max.
