I use one for a second monitor for things like old anime or games. Good for 4:3 stuff and the colors and image look really good for such a low resolution.

My monitor is not a CRT, but it's somewhat old (at least a decade old) and has an unusual resolution/aspect ratio (1280x1024, ie. 5:4). It still perfectly works.

My stepdad used CRT monitors for most of his life and he told me not to get one. They're loud, heavy, and unreliable and there's usually no reason to have one.

I have a couple in storage that were going to be thrown out. I've missed out on higher quality ones. My mother threw out our big CRT TV against my wishes. If you want a monitor with the CRT aesthetic, there's the Checkmate monitors.

>>113 1. High refresh rate (smoooooth ) 2. 4:3 (and other smaller aspect ratios) paired with the low resolution and that soft glow = cozy 3. Nostalgia

I've been using CRTs from 2020 till beginning of this year. If you use it too much, it can hurt your eyes, I've felt this. I usually use my computer for idk 15 hours/day, so this can be a pain in the ass. Now I'm using a LED 27'inch monitor with nice colors and it was the best thing I've done. I love CRTs and it's aesthetic, but I don't think it's suitable for me anymore. Here's one of my old photos using it.
