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.

Well this is getting silly if you're just going to keep repeating objectively wrong things and also misrepresent what I've said ('anything your current hardware can't do is a "marketing gimmick"' ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„)

Since we've left good faith diacussion and entered the realm of silly, fine! You've activated my trap card! Can your OLED do this??? presses degauss button You can see 85 Hz flicker, but I can bench press 1200 lbs and run a 60 second mile ๐Ÿคช

Enjoy your OLED and I'm glad you're finally getting to enjoy perfect color, true blacks, and high contrast again after all these years!
