Do you still use CRT monitors? I do 
Yes, I have an old compaq monitor from around 2002 For how old they are, they still look good
no, but i'm pretty interested in getting one. i used to have one but it was thrown out years ago 
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.

The aesthetic of stuff like that on older monitors is really nice
I'm gonna buy one soon, does anyone have suggestions on models and stuff?
>>98 Any japanese brand of CRT monitor will probably do you well. I like NEC personally.

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.
why is everyone talking about crt monitor's whats that about?
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.
>>114 Mine isn't loud and it's pretty reliable. Yeah they're heavy but I don't mind
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.

My dad did too
Not too long ago, I saw one of our neighbors throw out their old CRT on their lawn so I took it

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.
I always stop at garage sales to try to find them for cheap but I haven't stumbled upon any yet
I don't even own a flatscreen display (besides the ones built into my PSP and gameboys)
