I think I’m legitimately traumatized by how heavy CRTs were. The memories of the pain carrying them induced is etched in my body.

I dont feel nostalgic in the least about them.

I am nostalgic about their operational principles, but I was already willing to give these up for the convenience of an LCD panel circa 2003. We had a lot of LAN parties to attend back in those days.

    As another person going to LAN parties. I am nostalgic about many things. CRT screens and CRT TVs are not on that list!

    SNES/N64 games might look a little better on them, but I take that over the downsides. I can also look longer and more comfortably at modern screens.

    On the other hand my current desktop PC with a huge GPU and CPU cooler is not particularly carry friendly either..

    The draw of the LCD in the 2000s was the idea that the image you were seeing was a pixel-perfect representation of the creator’s intent.
