>>10355The Sony GDM-F520 had an MSRP of $1,800 ($3,000 in 2023 dollars) and was infamously expensive. For comparison, the 27GR95QE can be had for $900. What CRT people fail to realize is that CRTs were and still are extremely expensive to produce, which is why we moved to LCD displays. They are cheaper. In 2005, the same time that the GDM-F520 was on the market, you could have gotten a high-end LCD monitor for $350.
What you are doing is pitting a $3,000 monitor nobody could afford against a $900 monitor and then gloating about how the $3,000 monitor "won." No shit it won. If you compare a shitty CRT like what most people had against a LCD, the LCD will likely win. And don't give me that shit about "muh 420Hz 4k on CRT." You could only get those timings on extremely expensive CRTs with fine dot pitches, not what most people had. If you tried to go too high res, lets say above 1024x768 on a shitty PIXIE CRT, the timing circuitry would fail and you would get a rolling broken picture, And none of my CRTs can deal with Mac DB-15 timings at 640x480 even though they are supposed to be 60Hz based timings. Said timings work fine on my IPS LCD.
