I worry this about a lot of things. But what alternatives are there when crts are gone or all broken?

I’ve never had a flat-screen with as good color or 0 latency like a crt. And im sure they exist theyre probably just 2000 dollars.

    Latency is not 0 like op suggests but he’s not entirely wrong about the latency comparison to modern displays (at a technical level for your average modern display). You are still correct that the numbers are so low typically that it’s not an issue for… 99.9% of people. Probably more, we might want to add a lot more 9s to the end.

    If we’re talking to someone like a top competitive street fighter player though, I’m super interested in how they feel about CRTs vs modern displays. Note that this is also a different conversation if you’re on a TV that doesn’t have some sort of a Game Mode, those can be rough.
