I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
I’d love a good toaster, do they stil exist or do you have to build your own?
They aren’t being made any longer but you can buy used ones. The channel in question (or his second channel maybe) goes over a process to make them a little safer for modern use (like using a polarized plug).
