Why don't they just make modern 4:3 gaymer monitors with nice color gamut and 240Hz and super high resolution I would kill for one reeeEEE
WEBSITES DON'T EVEN USE THE EXTRA HORIZONTAL SPACE 16:9 IS A FUCKING SCAM

@arc I wish I had one of those crt monitors, you're getting awesome contrast, smooth picture, and low latency. Still pretty good resolution too. A really good one will push above 1080p in 4:3 but it's more common to find 768p.
@arc but yeah I think the only site that makes good use of that extra space is twitch, because of the chat. Phone layouts started becoming popular right around the time that 4:3 monitors were on their way out so we never really good websites that utilized the entire wide-screen size. Maybe that's for the best though... I can imagine it being pretty cluttered.
@beardalaxy CRTs are just "retro gamer monitor $200 I know what I have" it's fucked. I mean I'm sure you know... but dammit, people were giving them away 10 years ago!!! And prices on good 4:3 LCDs are getting unreasonable now too... I just want a normal option for 4:3, at the least, dammit! There's new 1080p monitors for like $80, why can't they just chop the sides off of it!!!
I got a CRT but I'm about to trash it, it's too dim (even at night) and has some weird alignment issue... If I can ever find a reasonably priced 1600x1200 CRT locally I'll definitely jump on it but I haven't seen much around the past few years...
@arc yeah they are getting a lot more rare. I took a couple out to the desert to shoot when I was 18 with some buddies and hella regret it. I had no idea.
