Do any of you still use a CRT monitor?

    No ones jealous, it's just the only thing more pathetic than bragging about using old technology is lying about having it to affect a brag. It's super duper cringey and is exactly in line with your character spectral, you don't have to lie to kick it lil bromo we think you're a good gont when you tell the truth and lies make baby jesus cry

    Not even a high end CRT like a 21" Sony or whatever.

    don't listen to sudo that guy is a brainless lemming

    CRTs are fucking awesome, they have great refresh rates so games look ultra smooth, colors are richer, blacks are darker, the glowy feel makes everything more nostalgic and happy, 4:3 shows you only what is important just as God desires etc

    4:3 is the devils bee.

    Although I think twilight princess might have been in 4:3 which I how I always played it because my TV didn't support 16:9

    I love the color feel on these 30 year old monitors. Very rich. It can go as high as 1280x104 in 32-bit.

    you enjoy looking at a toothpaste box ?

    and no, 1280 wasnt available in 1989.

    You dumb, dum. The resolution doesn't come from the monitor, it comes from the video card. The monitor I have was built in the '80's, and it does indeed support up to 1280x1024 at 80hz.

    I'm on it right now, son. 1280x1024 on a Spectre 14" CRT color monitor from the '80's.

    Here's a disadvantage to CRT monitors.

    Van Eck phreaking

    Van Eck phreaking (also known as Van Eck Radiation) is a form of eavesdropping in which special equipment is used to pick up side-band electromagnetic emissions from electronic devices that correlate to hidden signals or data for the purpose of recreating these signals or data in order to spy on the electronic device. Side-band electromagnetic radiation emissions are present in (and with the proper equipment, can be captured from) keyboards, computer displays, printers, and other electronic devices.

    In 1985, Wim van Eck published the first unclassified technical analysis of the security risks of emanations from computer monitors. This paper caused some consternation in the security community, which had previously believed that such monitoring was a highly sophisticated attack available only to governments; van Eck successfully eavesdropped on a real system, at a range of hundreds of metres, using just $15 worth of equipment plus a television set.

    As a consequence of this research, such emanations are sometimes called "van Eck radiation", and the eavesdropping technique van Eck phreaking. Government researchers were already aware of the danger, as Bell Labs had noted this vulnerability to secure teleprinter communications during World War II and was able to produce 75% of the plaintext being processed in a secure facility from a distance of 80 feet (24 metres).[1] Additionally the NSA published Tempest Fundamentals, NSA-82-89, NACSIM 5000, National Security Agency (Classified) on February 1, 1982. In addition, the van Eck technique was successfully demonstrated to non-TEMPEST personnel in Korea during the Korean War in the 1950s.

    While Phreaking is the process of exploiting telephone networks, it is used here because of its connection to eavesdropping. Van Eck phreaking of CRT displays is the process of eavesdropping on the contents of a CRT by detecting its electromagnetic emissions.

    Honey what is that van with all the antennas doing in front of the house?

    Nothing dear it's just the government watching me watch porn.

    Bullshit. All you did was Google what year the color CRT came out and post the wiki link. A 35 year old CRT monitor would no longer function. Especially with the number of hours per day you have spent glued to a monitor on that time.

    It's still functioning perfectly.
