oleds are way worse with burnin. crts have pretty good resolution too, the last one i had was 1080p, it did high refresh rate at lower resolutions, it was pretty great.

cant argue with energy efficiency tho, even the heat output of those things are brutal, but its such cool tech.

This unlocked a memory I had totally forgotten about, I got given an old crt monitor by a friend's dad in high school who worked on professional animation work and that thing was massive and heavy, but had amazing color and could do some insane max resolution like 2600*1900 on like a 24" screen in like 2008. Had a lot of good times with that monitor, but do not miss lugging it up and down staircases for Lan parties.

snobpersonproblems but my high-end Sony OLEDs I own do not burn. My old one did, but it would go away after a power down or around 5 seconds of on-screen movement.

You need to escape the octothorpe with a backslash, otherwise it is interpreted as markdown for a header, and looks like you're shouting.
