The real MVP of the post
This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.
Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.
If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun... Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It's lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
(Apologies. Idk how to do piped links)
(Edit: tracker removed. Thank you!)
Here's the link without site tracking: https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
I don't know how to do piped links either. Isn't there a bot for that? I see it sometimes, but not every time.
There's extensions to automatically redirect. Just post the youtube link, piped users can figure out how to get it to pipe.
I don't know if it's the same with piped but in libretube app settings you can set it to open YouTube links by default
Oh yeah, I've long heard of their terrifying capacitors and other stuff. I'd never service one x3
Hey wait.... Yeah what the hell? They did do that.
That is one latent memory that I simply don't remember.
Basically the CRT I still use on my computer. Pops at least once a week and wakes me up.
I'm both impressed and frightened that you are using a CRT. Incredible.
Gotta get the translucent water effect on Sonic.
much better response times, colors and accurate legacy games.
whats not to love about them.
ok maybe the sheer size and weight.
resolution? burn in? energy effiency?
oleds are way worse with burnin. crts have pretty good resolution too, the last one i had was 1080p, it did high refresh rate at lower resolutions, it was pretty great.
cant argue with energy efficiency tho, even the heat output of those things are brutal, but its such cool tech.
This unlocked a memory I had totally forgotten about, I got given an old crt monitor by a friend's dad in high school who worked on professional animation work and that thing was massive and heavy, but had amazing color and could do some insane max resolution like 2600*1900 on like a 24" screen in like 2008. Had a lot of good times with that monitor, but do not miss lugging it up and down staircases for Lan parties.
snobpersonproblems but my high-end Sony OLEDs I own do not burn. My old one did, but it would go away after a power down or around 5 seconds of on-screen movement.

You need to escape the octothorpe with a backslash, otherwise it is interpreted as markdown for a header, and looks like you're shouting.

that's what makes them fun :>
Only true gamers use cheap CRTs from 2006
Why do you use one? Just curious
Just thought it would be fun, it was only $3 at goodwill so there wasn't much reason not to.
Haha! What the heck caused that? It did happen often enough that I relate to this meme.
Expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Or maybe ghosts, no one can say for sure
I'm going with "ghosts".
It's absolutely the most logical and mundane of the two explanations.

Is that what Ghosts in the Shell was all about?
That was just the magic fizzling out after a long day.
The mini people inside must get tired of working all day.
Hv discharge from the tube/caps
I don't think we're talking about the same sound
Cathode Ray Tube love. Let’s have a little static when we touch it! ⚡️
Either high pitched whine or the HBO theme.
Not sure what this is referring to, mine make lots of noises but I wouldn't describe any as a crack
Ominous
Not to mention the scart Cable, big cable going from tv to PS2. I had to move the tv.
Entering REM :)
Huh. A non-useless "nobody:". It's like spotting a coelacanth.
It’s still completely better with that cut off tbh
