And I too had a Mitsubishi Diamontron 21"
And what really pisses me off about those "CRT are amazing" in 2019 videos is that they use some 3000€ CRT and compare that to something we have right now.
That things was fucking God-tier at the time
Naa, its because TFT and CRT work completely differently
but I don't know if TFT is really a good technology, personally I'd say its not.
Like all things, it is better at some things than others
And by the way: the claim that CRT consume more Power is a lie.
But we cant really have X type of monitor for gaming and Y type for web browsing
it depends on what you compare the CRT to what TFT
we have to make sacrifices to the center
in some cases the TFT can gobble 120W (and that's only a 24" one!) and the CRT can be far lesser than that
We can and do have a split between normal and Gaming Monitors, so its entirely possible to do that.
the Problem is that both are TFT (mostly IPS with some VA as well).
TFT was the cheaper tech I believe
At the time TFT were more expensive
because CRT had little to no electronics
And they were new
But long term it was destined to be cheaper
They fixed some Problems at the cost of other
just because of the lack of things like copper
i even went through the trouble of replacing the power supply when it burnt out
You don#t happen to have a PSU for a samsung S27D850T, do you?
Not that model sdly
I was lucky to find one for this
Got it in an auction lot
If you're in the US you can just order a PSU
and it wasnt the EXACT model, so I had to cut part of the steel frame to make it fit
the PSU for that burned for no reason sadly.
I loved that screen, was my favorite
Sadly I was so dumb to get a 32" 4K VA screen (LG 32UK550-B), wich is just awful
ordering a 10+ year old PSU would be more expensive than buying a new one at this point
but luckly I got a Samsung C32HG70 this month
the sad thing: Could have gotten it for 70€ less if I waited a couple of days
Thats always how it happens
Yeah, but I got it on my Birthday, so its somewhat fine
🍰
I will cry when i have to replace this ancient piece of shit
It's resolution is something really weird
Yeah, right now I don't have piece of Shit Screens 😉
well, kinda the LG but not really
