CRTs are so terrible by themselves, but the history is amazing. The whole modern world, geek culture, gaming, people's childhoods... it all went through those heavy lead glass things.
The tech was much worse, but people seemed happier anyway. Maybe because what was actually on those screens was better("better" interpreted relative to the potential of the tech)
- WalterBright 5y agoThe tail end of the CRT would stick out the back of the TV set. One day, a picture on the wall came off and sliced that off of the TV. We did without a TV for a year or so as my dad thought good riddance. You can only watch so many Jack Lalane shows anyway.
