    I can hear the humming from here.

    I thought I was developing tinnitus until I noticed it was gone after we replaced everything.

    They can have fabulous picture quality but not with the cheapo units we had. But 800x600 is all anyone needs right?!

      At one time, 800x600 very much was.

      Heck, the first monitor I had which could do that resolution I turned back down to 640x480 because the higher resolution made everything far too small!

      Nowadays even 1920x1080 is feeling cramped at times because there’s so much padding and chrome and bloat on every application there’s hardly room left for content

      I do not miss the high pitched background screech of CRTs. Monitors or TVs. The TVs from the late 90s that would show blank screen instead of static were the loudest.
