    Large CRT TVs

    Saw a rather basic CRT on Visual Alchemy LLC: https://www.visualalchemy.tv/2004_27_philips_27pt543s37a This one was from 2004, but only has a coaxial input. My aunt had the 2002 version of this TV, and it had composite, component, and scart. This must be a cheaper one.

    Large CRT TVs

    CRT TVs have the best image quality when performing at it's highest resolution. I had a CRT rear projection TV from 2002 and the colors on the component inputs seemed to be the most accurate when set to 1080i.

    Large CRT TVs

    Most of the 90s still had that blurry and hazy picture that was present throughout the 70s and 80s. It wasn't until around 1997 or '98 when the picture quality in most shows became more vibrant and lost that hazy effect. Shows from that point on resembled a 480p YouTube video until most...

    Large CRT TVs

    CRT computer monitors had sharper quality than the ones used for TVs. HD CRT TVs had excellent color accuracy but text still wasn't as clean as flat panels.

    Anyone think that these large CRT TVs are scary? I think so. I'd say 32" and over is a "Hellavison". Hellavison is the nickname I give larger CRT TVs. I don't think they made direct view CRTs any larger than 40 inches h I prefer small to medium sized tubes since they have better...

    The COVID-19 thread

    When do you think covid will reach an endemic status? Feels like it already. 80% of the people at my job don't wear masks anymore.

    Did People Used To Look Older?

    Some of the employees at my job that are fresh out of high school look like 8th graders.

    Did People Used To Look Older?

    I've noticed this too. I've seen 20 year old high school yearbooks and the high school students looked the same as a someone today would in their mid 20s.

    What is an internet forum?

    Precisely why forums are still better than using social media.

    Obsolete things that you miss

    I wonder what they used to transfer stuff before the late 70s. I've noticed shows from the late 70s to the mid 90s have that dull hazy look to them. It wasn't until 1998/99 that shows had a clear picture.

    Censored Vaccine Card

    It looks like it's from the Simpsons.

    Obsolete things that you miss

    In the NTSC, I believe older shows were transferred over using composite, typically before 2002, causing bad rainbow effect and dot crawl.
