OK here is a picture of my first computer screen. I miss it. Do you own yours? Let's see what you owned.

CRTs are trending
I miss degaussing
I think a) they’re not really being made any more, b) nostalgia c) they have good frame rates.Really? Why? Seems lie a step backwards…
The picture on the CRT's in the late 90's - early 2000's was excellent imo.I think a) they’re not really being made any more, b) nostalgia c) they have good frame rates.
My 1st computer used a colour TV as its monitor.
search for the one typo where you put an ; instead of an :wait for errata in next month's edition…
I also miss my old keyboard. I still have the CPU. CD rom burner I like it.Me and the ex got an Amstrad from Costco in 1988. It looked something like this.

My first computer screen was a television used with my Atari computer somewhere around 1980. It was my parents' television, and I have no clue what happened to it.OK here is a picture of my first computer screen. I miss it. Do you own yours? Let's see what you owned.

I have no idea but most monitors in my life has been very mundane. Hand me downs, old monitors being sold for cheap, something my dad dragged back home from the office. One anecdote I have, while working at a Thai restaurant in a bowling alley, I asked my boss if I could buy the 28inch HP monitor he had thrown in the back of his messy office for $50. He said “I’ll give it to you if you clean my office”, so I spent 3 hours straight scrubbing floors, organizing his desk and shelves, and throwing out garbage. It was worth it since it was slightly better than my current monitor at the time. I think my brother still uses it to this day.
As for my first monitor that I actually paid full price for, it was a Philips E-Line 32inch curved monitor in 2020. Not really a gaming monitor but 32inches, curved, 75hz refresh rate and 2ms response time was perfect for me at the time since I was used to standard 60hz high response rate monitors. I broke it by trying to take too much stuff to my apartment as I was moving in, crushing it underneath a box or something, and I was very upset. Since then I’ve used an old Samsung 32inch TV from about 2011 I wanna say. I like the size but picture quality and response is not the best of course. I just haven’t been bothered to buy a new one yet because it works perfectly fine for me honestly.
