Do any of you still use a CRT monitor?

2019-11-13 at 8:16 PM UTCMost idiots don't know that the main reason electronics break down is continually turning it off and on. This causes stress to the circuits. When you leave the monitor on continually and never turn it off, it lasts decades. I haven't turned this monitor off for years and years.

2019-11-13 at 8:32 PM UTCBeen on this CRT color monitor for over 30 years now, and it's been powered on 99% of the time. I think I had one power out in all that time, otherwise, it's been on. Not a single issue with it.

I just took that pic, and my monitor is right in front of me. Obviously, since what is posted in the screen shot is today's posts from this site. -

Here's the the real BS in your cool story bro. You say you got your monitor in 1984. That would not only be way before SVGA it would be three years before even VGA. This means the monitor you claim to own iseither CGA or EGA. Windows XP didn't have support for either of them. Next time try bullshiting the kids when I'm on vacation or something. -

I never said I bought it in 1984, I said it was just over thirty years old. Did no one ever teach you math, Rodent? -

I've already went above and beyond to prove my statements. This thread is about old CRT monitors, not about your doubts and insecurities. If you want to keep wagging your finger at my posts here, go do it in Spurious. -
