The capacitors aren't the problem as stated above. The CRT itself is a very large capacitor (stores charge) and can knock you on your ass for a long time after the tv is unplugged.

Also, she's weird.

I like video games and all, but I think we need more people, today, that are willing to say, "No. The thing I have is good enough."

Yep, I am one of them. I still have my 20" Sharp CRT TV from 1996, VCR, Casio Databank 150 calculator watch, etc

I'm not one. It's something I have to fight. I either get overly sentimentally attached to old things, or way too green with envy over new things.


I keep using old stuff because they work fine. I don't need the latest stuff if they work. It save me money, time, etc. I do upgrade/replace them if they don't work anymore or really can't be used.

Degauss won't always fix it - I permanently screwed up a CRT monitor playing with magnets in high school.


The degauss in most modern CRTs isnt perfect. You can degauss the monitors regardless of their 'gaussed' state if you know what you are doing.

Yay, thanks for the promote!

That'll do for now

I will have to call fake on this one for several reasons.

The fact that there is even a camera there in the first place.

the puff of dust is supposed to be ink toner which would have stained his clothes. it appears to be added in.

Fuckin kids these days! Sounds like that guy has no idea what was to use a monochrome monitor or even a CRT.

I actually preferred CRT monitors for counterstrike since I could punch them without doing any serious damage

cigarettes and a CRT monitor? what, are we in the 70s?



I preferred CRT monitors for their oh-so-bright colors and unique 100% any direction viewing angles.
