the Problem is that both are TFT (mostly IPS with some VA as well).

2019-12-04 01:14:37 UTC  

TFT was the cheaper tech I believe

2019-12-04 01:15:29 UTC  

At the time TFT were more expensive

2019-12-04 01:15:39 UTC  

because CRT had little to no electronics

2019-12-04 01:15:58 UTC  

And they were new

2019-12-04 01:16:09 UTC  

But long term it was destined to be cheaper

2019-12-04 01:16:13 UTC  

They fixed some Problems at the cost of other

2019-12-04 01:16:26 UTC  

just because of the lack of things like copper

2019-12-04 01:17:02 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 01:17:21 UTC  

i even went through the trouble of replacing the power supply when it burnt out

2019-12-04 01:17:43 UTC  

You don#t happen to have a PSU for a samsung S27D850T, do you?

2019-12-04 01:17:52 UTC  

Not that model sdly

2019-12-04 01:18:06 UTC  

I was lucky to find one for this

2019-12-04 01:18:16 UTC  

Got it in an auction lot

2019-12-04 01:18:18 UTC  

If you're in the US you can just order a PSU

2019-12-04 01:18:34 UTC  

and it wasnt the EXACT model, so I had to cut part of the steel frame to make it fit

2019-12-04 01:18:36 UTC  

the PSU for that burned for no reason sadly.

2019-12-04 01:18:42 UTC  

I loved that screen, was my favorite

2019-12-04 01:19:08 UTC  

Sadly I was so dumb to get a 32" 4K VA screen (LG 32UK550-B), wich is just awful

2019-12-04 01:19:13 UTC  

ordering a 10+ year old PSU would be more expensive than buying a new one at this point

2019-12-04 01:19:20 UTC  

but luckly I got a Samsung C32HG70 this month

2019-12-04 01:19:48 UTC  

the sad thing: Could have gotten it for 70€ less if I waited a couple of days

2019-12-04 01:19:57 UTC  

Thats always how it happens

2019-12-04 01:20:28 UTC  

Yeah, but I got it on my Birthday, so its somewhat fine

2019-12-04 01:20:55 UTC  

🍰

2019-12-04 01:21:09 UTC  

I will cry when i have to replace this ancient piece of shit

2019-12-04 01:21:23 UTC  

It's resolution is something really weird

2019-12-04 01:21:31 UTC  

Yeah, right now I don't have piece of Shit Screens 😉

2019-12-04 01:21:37 UTC  

well, kinda the LG but not really

2019-12-04 01:21:53 UTC  

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

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

2019-12-04 09:16:31 UTC  

and they consume less power now

2019-12-04 09:17:01 UTC  

early backlights perhaps not, but now for sure

2019-12-04 09:17:57 UTC  

a 1k panel would pretty much smash any crt

good medium-high base system

2019-12-04 11:25:57 UTC

That is NORMAL and why yo don't want to save on your screen!
If it doesn't break, it will survive multiple rigs.

For example, if you were one of the rich/insane ones to get a 30" Dell screen with 2560x1600, you'd probably be using it today!

Totally!
