I think I’m legitimately traumatized by how heavy CRTs were. The memories of the pain carrying them induced is etched in my body.

I dont feel nostalgic in the least about them.

I am nostalgic about their operational principles, but I was already willing to give these up for the convenience of an LCD panel circa 2003. We had a lot of LAN parties to attend back in those days.

The draw of the LCD in the 2000s was the idea that the image you were seeing was a pixel-perfect representation of the creator’s intent.

Funny that—I'm literally using a shader on my SNES emulator to get a sense for how the graphics would look on a CRT!

		I think it was a time before the vintage feels for CRTs really. Sure, there were greybeards naysaying the coming of the LCD due to motion artefacts and smearing but the rest of users just wanted something high-res and flicker-free.
