You might want to reread my comment because you’re just making false claims that are already addressed about color and resolution

No I’m not. OLED has better contrast and a wider color gamut than the best CRT. And it can have high refresh rate without dropping the resolution below the already low native resolution.

4K resolution, ultra-wide aspect ratio, and extremely high framerates are simply marketing gimmicks

So anything that your current hardware can’t do is a “marketing gimmick”? Okay… But at a minimum that would mean that OLED is just “unnecessarily” better. I’m not saying it has to matter to you, but the benefits of high framerate don’t abruptly stop at 120fps, and 4k isn’t even reaching the point of diminishing returns if you’re not using a tiny 17" display.

It is not physically possible that a human could see flicker at 85Hz.

This is just not true. You may not notice it, but many people can. There’s an issue with LED lightbulbs flickering at 120hz, for example.

Anyway I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy your CRT, I think it’s cool! I just don’t think it’s better than OLED in any tangible way.

I’ll agree that early LCD screens were really bad. TN looks terrible. I think a modern IPS or VA is a better experience than CRT in some ways, (often better color, better resolution, display size, etc.) but still has major issues like poor response time and motion clarity.

CRT does have some advantages– it is good for retro games, as a lot of pixel art was designed for the slight blur that CRTs have (waterfalls in some games, for example). And they do have good motion clarity compared to sample and hold displays, but it’s because they are flickery. 85Hz flicker isn’t as bad as 60hz, but it’s still really uncomfortable for many people. It’s one reason why almost nobody uses backlight strobing on LCD monitors. Not worth the tradeoff for most.

OLED really is pretty close to perfect, though. Vibrant accurate colors with excellent motion clarity and high refresh smoothness, virtually infinity contrast…

Trinitron really was ahead of its time, but a 32" 4k 240fps P3 OLED doesn’t match it, it far exceeds it.

I think you might be a bit crazy, haha. I do have some nostalgia for CRT, but OLED is far better in every single way.

Larger available size, Higher available resolution and better clarity, Higher available refresh rate, Wider color gamut and more accurate colors, Higher contrast ratio, etc.

Not to mention how flickery CRT is.

I 100% get the appeal of old tech, but it’s a bit silly to say it’s equivalent to modern stuff.

This sort of flickering can be really noticeable especially at low brightness, with the always-on display for example (although still nowhere near as bad as 60hz CRT flicker *shudders*)

But I honestly do not believe thet you’re able to see 4000+ hz flickering. If you genuinely can, I’m sure you could get a world record for that.

My guess is $30, could be $40 although I doubt it after the response they got.

Any general purpose consumer device should probably have 64GB or more.

But I don’t see the point in disallowing <32GB, as that can still be enough for using tablets for lots of uses like e-readers, smart home displays, kiosks, etc.

In practice, this just means that low end devices will stay on older versions of Android even more than they do already.

If I move something close enough to my face it appears in view twice seemingly semi-transparent

That sounds like what I experience, not just for things very close to my face, whenever my eyes are aligned to something in front or behind.

But in order to do the dominant eye test, you need to only see one image in the foreground and background simultaneously. So how does that happen unless the view from one eye is at least partially supressed?

This is one of those things that’s really hard to talk about and describe, but I would love to actually understand it. Also no, I can’t notice my blind spots.

I’ve tried it, but there isn’t any traffic data, so it’s really not usable for me. Also the search isn’t great either, and there’s no lane indicator.

Don’t get me wrong, I think OSM and Organic are great projects, they just don’t really compare to other options for my use.

Honestly I might consider giving this a try. I really don’t want Google to have my location at all times, and I trust Apple at least a bit more with my data. Currently using Magic Earth, but the traffic info and search, while usable, are not great.

Not at all, I perceive depth fine.

If I focus back on my hand, the two images align, and I see both images of the background. It’s just that I’m always seeing information from both eyes.

If anything, from my perspective it’s everyone else who I would expect to have difficulties with depth perception. You’re only perceiving one eye consciously, (In the binocular overlap region), and the other eye is just used for depth information by your subconscious, is that correct?

I’ve heard of this test before, and it makes no sense to me. If I focus on a distant object, I see two images of my hand, one for each eye. So I’d have to choose which one to put over the object.

Yeah I can defocus my eyes too, I assume most people can. I’ve never heard of someone being able to see during saccades though.

That’s interesting, for most people the brain just substitutes in the image of where your eye moves to, so it feels instantaneous. (there’s no noticeable blindness) But you can see throughout the full movement?

In a similar vein, I never understood having a “dominant eye”. I honestly don’t really understand the concept, I guess most people’s brains will cancel out information from one eye?

Many countries including the US use 12 hour time for everything, so it’s easier for a lot of people to not have to constantly translate. So it makes sense to be the default in those countries. And yes, I think 24hr should be standard everywhere, but it’s not. I also think it’s insane not to use SI units, but oh well. (I think we should use decimal time as well, but that’s never going to happen because we’d need to redefine so many units.)

I’ve been told that it’s strange, although it seems like an obvious combo to me:

Pan fried potatoes, mushroom, and onion. Served with tomato sauce to dip it in.

5x4 rectangle, subdivided

To me, even numbers are bouba, and odd numbers, especially primes, are kiki.

I’d say 7 is pointy, but not really jagged. 2 is rounded and pebble like, but I’m not sure if I’d call it a circle, more pill shaped.

I dislike the implication that FOSS software doesn’t look nice.

There are plenty of beautiful apps on f-droid.
