wtf story for the day. So apparently those fat f***s are way better for modern gaming. If the video is to be believed then a 1080p game on CRT is far superior to even a 4k oled ! They are going gaga over it actually.

Some talking points I gathered: 1) low/zero latency 2) no motion blur 3) all resolutions look great on CRT , no upscale problems like LED . ANd some more I didn't understand or listen to.

CRT was a real gem in Gaming... can support 2560x1600 Max resolution

CRT can drive framerates much higher than LCDs these days. Pretty ahead in that regard IMO.
