Agreed, as soon as a diy company starts making affordable CRTs with modern I/O, I'll invest every penny I can
CRTs? What's the advantage there, other than nostalgia?
The ability to play Duck Hunt, surely.
Faster refresh rate, good for gaming, I'm told. Older games actually look better with scanlines. I haven't seen any appreciable difference with the input lag tho.
120Hz would have been a fantastic refresh rate when I was using CRTs, and 240 would be unthinkable. I can understand nostalgia for older games, but I can't imagine other benefits vs. modern flat panel.
Modern TVs hurt my eyes after a while, but CRTs don't for some reason. Plus, I like the display more. As I type this, my eyes are bloodshot and tearing up from looking at my tv for a couple hours
