Mmmmm.... Radiation.
the camo wall is from when I was a kid. I painted it with my dad, and even though it doesn't really fit me anymore, I don't want to paint over it because I liked doing it.
Edit: also no, the steam deck is not powering the monitor. I put it there because I liked the juxtaposition between the 90s CRT and 2023 OLED steam deck. It's an old 2200+ AMD sempron. Also yes I know it's a PC monitor, not a TV. It's still a CRT, hush.
Edit 2: after fighting with spoilers, I give up.
Nevermind that the static "snow" that you see is cosmic background radiation*
*well a part of it
Teletext, remember teletext?
...we still have teletext on digital TV. Heck, we have teletext on the Internet now.
The problem with modern TVs isn't with the display tech (which is great compared to CRT), it's the adding of microprocessors and software that auto-updates via the internet, and subsequent enshittification.
This is because software externally controlled by the manufacturer can act as an agent of the manufacturer on hardware you own - with it primary control over your TV isn't really yours, it's theirs and will serve their objectives not yours.
(Such a setup can basically be turned into a way to use your resources to serve their ends and, lo-and-behold, most manufacturers do exactly that)
The pinnacle for TV quality was maybe 10 years ago, when screens were flat and OLED was already available but the TV wasn't running software that auto-updated via the Internet and operated as an after-the-sale agent to serve the interests of the manufacturer in hardware you paid for.
Do TVs actually refuse to work if you don't connect them to the internet?
Old TVs could also take a hit from a bowling ball without a problem, new ones can break if hit by a rubber band!
Old ones could also distort the image if you moved a strong magnet across the screen.

then you get the greatest sound of all time when degaussing
