  Anyone else remember when “flatscreen” was the cool marketing hype for monitors/TVs?

  We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these colour TV’s.

  Those flatscreen CRTs were pretty great for their time though. Maybe/probably rose tinted glasses but man I remember them being plain better monitors overall.

    They probably were in terms of viewing angles at the time of release, and probably were better if you had a technician which was able to come and adjust it or could adjust it at the store before it was sold, but I think the flatscreen CRTs have a much higher tendency for image warping over time.

      Technician? More like some early 2000s teenager sweating bullets as they fiddle with settings and knobs they barely understand.

      I took that sucker to LAN parties and always had to recalibrate after bumping it up and down stairs. I actually had that damned thing in use through 2013.
