I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
I mean. All my friends who match my freak live 120Km+ away from me and so I have played online games with them.
But man it’s just not the same as the experience of snacks, a beat up sofa, crowding around a television, yelling at each other, yanno?
