Beware of CRTs they can arc if not handled properly

Plug them all in, and you've got a Cronenbergesque sculpture underscoring the protagonist's descent into the more surreal corners of the unfolding story.

Why the he fuck am I sitting here, looking at this pic and getting nostalgic about those stupid bulky, power-hungry, washed-up picture producing, x-ray-emitting CRT shit boxes?
Because the internet didn't suck when we had those. Game companies were still innovating when we had those. Google wasn't evil when we had those. Windows didn't spy on us when we had those.
Not only that, computers were a bonus, it wasn’t required for daily life. Those who were young in those days saw them as tools for fun not how we do paperwork.
Yeah, same. I used a 19" CRT from 1999 to 2009, and just now I almost thought "ah, those were the d...." NO!
The ONLY think I liked about CRTs were that they were durable because of the thick glass, and they didn't fall over as easily as flat screens. Other than that they were objectively worse in any single way.
My cat would disagree. She was very upset when I replaced her favorite warm perch with a flat screen.
CRTs can change their resolution and dot pitch, meaning that no matter what you show on it it’s always sharp and in native resolution.They are quite literally not worse in every single way.
