When was the last time you watched cartoons on one of these things? I honestly don't know how you could even stand to.
I'm 1997 and what is that?
Let's just say I wasn't hooked to the TV. Freaking kids these days, with their facebooks and their HD subs.
>>77343259
I still have a crt tv and still watch on it. It makes me keep my youth while I watch old vhs recording of fox kids
>>77343272
This meme is getting old, I already saw it in the Dexter's Lab, Fox kids, and Kids' WB threads
Also, CRTs were still very much in use from 2000-2005. You should remember shit from when you were 3-8, unless your parents whacked you in the head with a metal bat.
I watched some older season Simpsons on one that I keep around forretro video games
Looked pretty fine actually. It's less blurry than when I watch them on my HDTV.
I still don't have a flat screen. Am I poor ?
>>77343259
Just under 2 hours ago. I prefer it.
>>77343259
I think mine is busted. All it does is play Teen Titans GO over and over.
Today
>>77343323
>am I poor ?
Considering you put a space between the question mark and words means you're European, so probably yes.
>>77343323
Yes. Yes you are, you Europoor.
I didn't get a flatscreen/HD tv until last year. Actually, I still don't have one since it's my roommate who couldn't live without one.
I also had pic related until I was like 13.
>>77343259
When tvs switched to HD I was too poor to get an adaptor
>>77343259
I'm actually watching TV on a CRT now, only TV I got, but I only get public channels. Don't have cable or satellite or whatever. Only cartoons I get are the Simpsons and seth macfarlen's shit and I've never liked either.
>>77343259
OP, what is that black square thing? I only watch cartoons on my Holo-3D Quantumcaster.
>>77343259
Still have one. Still the only TV I use.
CRT or HD? Why does it matter? Do people other than old people even watch television anymore?
>>77343497
Poor or just a hipster?
>>77343514
Not him, but crt is needed for older video game systems.
>>77343527
Ah yes, people on /vr/ say that all the time. Although I think they have dedicated threads for that sort of thing. Too bad the traffic in that place is slow
>>77343514
>Poor
This plus /vr/ related concerns as these posters pointed out: >>77343527 >>77343540
>>77343259
Bash em all you want but those things were built to last unlike flat screens that die after 4 years.
When those things showed cartoons instead of shitty TV shows and series.
>>77343497
Same here.
>>77343550
>>Poor
Same here.
Though there was once one of those fancy new flat TVs in our household for a few days, but it had to go since it was a present for someone else. Felt like living in the 2010s for a while.Yes, I'm European.
>>77343505
Seriously. I thought this thread was about TVs in general.
>>77343527
just emulate it you fuck face
>>77344155
This. Who the fuck does not has a decent PC in this day and age? People who uses phones and laptops on 4chan should be banned.
>>77343259
It's possible.
TV still has a safe zone where they put most text and visuals so that you can watch most programs on one of these
A couple of weeks ago.
I had a CRT TV in the kitchen up until just then when lightning blew it out, and public access is still in 4:3 SD in my neck of the woods. More often than not while making dinner I tend to have awful asian dubs of Spongebob showing for the sake of having something on while I'm around

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
>>77344193
Light gun games don't work on emulators. Some games are also difficult to impossible to play on a keyboard. Some games just aren't emulated at all.
>>77344377
>Light gun games don't work on emulators. Some games are also difficult to impossible to play on a keyboard
There's programs and plugins you can use for controllers.
>>77343304
I own a CRT monitor, I was using it until a year back when my TV's aux input broke. now I keep it for the inevitable moment when this shitty flatscreen dies.
>>77344456
LIGHT GUN GAMES REQUIRE TRADITIONAL TVs. WHAT PART OF THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
>>77343259
Why would I watch them on anything else? Computer screen is a lot smaller.
>>77343259
Are you talking about TV in general, or about this particular kind of TV?
All the time, I have my laptop connected to it and it acts as my media hub.
I'm constantly streaming cartoons and games on it.
>>77344585
This. I don't watch tv all that much and I just download whatever I want to watch on my laptop and then connect it on my LCD tv. Television is truly a thing of the past.
>>77344489
Meh, Light Gun games suck anyway. Nothing of value was lost.
>>77344521
TV in general.

>Emulation magically makes the problems with LCD/LED screens go away
Why would you even bother posting when you're this fucking ignorant?
>>77344880
Still better than being some old relic fat fuck who's sticking to ancient devices no one has or wants anymore. PC master race 4 life.
>>77344880
There is literally nothing wrong with that pic.
>>77343259
2009, back when Jetix was taking its last breaths, before becoming Disney Channel
>>77343527
Lol, you reminded me of my nephew who brought a NES to my house and was trying to figure out how to hook it to my HD flatscreen tv.
>>77344880

>>77344880
I've always wanted to see the rest of that thread.
>>77345200
With composite cables?
>>77343259
Literally the tv in my room is that kind of TV. It's nigh impossible to play video games on but it's enjoyable to watch cartoons on still.
>>77344155
>>77344193
interesting argument anons, go ask /vr/'s crt thread about this. might save those guys some time.

I know you are being sarcastic but no one cares about a bunch of old fuckfaces.

Also learn how to properly greentext.
>>77347689
Correction
Are you autistic or something
>>77347761
Old people, kids, and normies shouldn't be here
I still use a CRT as my second monitor and often have cartoons on it while doing other stuff. I don't get what the big deal is, sure it's a little smaller, but it has far better colors and scales better.
Honestly, if it weren't for consumer technophilia, constantly mistaking "newer" for "better", CRTs would still have a niche. But the companies are glad CRTs died anyway because their shipping costs are extremely high. Plus they're pretty energy inefficient.
>bought a crt / VCR combo with my own money in 1994
>Just bought a flat screen TV / monitor combo last month to replace it.
The VCR still worked. I used to tape TechTV anime blocks on that thing.
It's been a long time since I had a TV.
It feels like just a worse version of a computer.
>>77347794
Using a phone on 4chan is not a old man
I didn't get a flat screen until a few months ago.
While I assume the noise filter, which is built into all TVs these days, has gotten rid of the annoying static lines I've been seeing since the cable companies all switched to digital, I have noticed that motion is now slightly blurred.
>>77347903
Still used by kids and normies.

The round CRTs, probably ten years ago.
Had a flat screen one until 2012, actually.
>>77343302
Go back to Facebook, moron.
I have a small flatscreen and a tiny as fuck CRT. I still use the CRT sometimes because I still like those types of TVs
>>77347755
I have a smallish CRT stored away for when I pull out old game systems.
Occasionally play an old DVD on it. But modern players with upscalers have come a long way. As long as the DVD is anamorphic then it looks basically the same to me.
>>77350854
Triggered.
>>77343259
just now
adventure time on teletoon
my favorite/the best episode
feels good man
>>77343259
I play Melee on mine, there about it.
>>77344880
The reason you don't play classic game consoles on digital displays is because they use an analog signal which has to be upscaled. Which, depending on the model of the TV, usually takes at least 1/20th of a second and can even take nearly 1/4th. And if you play video games online, you know what 250ms lag is like.
Emulators certainly solve this problem for reasons I don't think I need to explain (the signal has always been digital and most monitors have at most 5ms lag between digital signal in and picture out).
Some people like classic hardware and classic peripherals. And most emulators have serious problems. In fact I would say only the NES and SNES have really authentic emulators and some consoles (such as the N64 and the PS2) still only have complete pieces of shit whereas others (such as the XBox) can barely be said to have any emulators at all. But if you only care about playing a game and aren't too picky about your experience, then usually you can get by with emulators.
>>77343259
I still have one of those. Watch cable on it.
i have one of this
i dont really see it so much, most of the time it just makes background noise or lights the room
i believe simpsons is the only cartoon i actually see on inalso bdz but thats weebshit
It's been a while because I mostly watch newer cartoons on my computer, but I still have a CRT. Bought the thing back in 98 or so, and it hasn't shown any color change or sound degradation. No sense in trying to move the behemoth and buying a flat screen when it still works perfectly fine.
I still buy BluRay/DVD combo packs so I can watch movies on it too.
