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 still have an old ass Samsung gaming widescreen that has a 2MS

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

I'm really thinking of putting the LG in a box and use other Screens I have

This monitor has been through 3 computers

trinitron crts are good but in the end panels have way better image quality

and they consume less power now
