    CRTs? What’s the advantage there, other than nostalgia?

      The ability to play Duck Hunt, surely.

      Faster refresh rate, good for gaming, I’m told. Older games actually look better with scanlines. I haven’t seen any appreciable difference with the input lag tho.

        120Hz would have been a fantastic refresh rate when I was using CRTs, and 240 would be unthinkable. I can understand nostalgia for older games, but I can’t imagine other benefits vs. modern flat panel.

      Modern TVs hurt my eyes after a while, but CRTs don’t for some reason. Plus, I like the display more. As I type this, my eyes are bloodshot and tearing up from looking at my tv for a couple hours
