This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

People did care, which is why people who played games competitively continued to use CRT monitors well into the crappy LCD days.

Heck, some people still use CRTs. There's not too much wrong with them other than being big, heavy, and not being able to display 4k or typically beeing only 4:3.

You beat me to the punch.

We were absolutely considering output delay and hoarding our CRT monitors.

Some of us were also initially concerned about input delay from early USB until we were shown that while it is slower that it was unnoticeable.

I forgot that! PS/2 mice and keyboards were hoarded.
