Some people myself included find CRT's easier on the eyes--especially those who have migraines triggered by light, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I found a good LED that was affordable that didn't cause serious eye strain. Especially when at the "end of era" CRT's could hit 120-180Hz even on the low end models.I've always been wondering: Why is he using an old CRT monitor?
He's a graphic. CRT's are very good for working digital stuff, even the old ones are better than most middle-ranged screens right now. You can google the details, if you're interested.I've always been wondering: Why is he using an old CRT monitor?
All the patches for that specific version, i.e 3.05 has 7 patches and you need all of them.I just have a quick question. I'm sure the answer is buried somewhere in previous pages, but I went back a few and didn't see, so, for the patches, do I only need to place the most recent patch in there, or all of them? I'm noticing a lot of untranslated text in places. This seems like a silly question now that I type it out, but I want to be sure.
Only reason he uses a CRT is so that he can have his cat glare at himI've always been wondering: Why is he using an old CRT monitor?
Actually he has a Cintiq.He's a graphic. CRT's are very good for working digital stuff, even the old ones are better than most middle-ranged screens right now. You can google the details, if you're interested.
Funny you say that, because I personally have the reverse issue. The polling effect on CRTs drives me insane. Makes my eyes go O.O if I don't use a CRT for a while.Some people myself included find CRT's easier on the eyes--especially those who have migraines triggered by light, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I found a good LED that was affordable that didn't cause serious eye strain.

You sure that your CRT wasn't just breaking down? Old CRTs have sync issues that causes some very obvious refreshing.Actually he has a Cintiq.

And he was, because at that time especially CRT's were far better in terms of color, contrast, response time etc. The issue with CRT's is mainly weight, space and eye strain (and if you want to go green - power consumption). Nowadays, the gap is much smaller - still, an average user doesn't upgrade his screen as often as the PC. And if one is working with digital stuff has a good CRT from before (and it works well) there's no reason to buy a very costly EIZO (or some other high end stuff) that might be working as well as your "old" CRT but costs a few thousand bucks.Someone I knew once insisted that Good CRTs have the best colour contrast. Since he's crazy rich and built his own water cooled gaming desktop (this was back in 2006 and water cooling wasn't as common), I had to assume he was right.
Which doesn't make the point moot? Also, if we're talking about details, ILL's CRT unfortunately died and he's looking for a new screen, while getting by on said tablet (I think, not sure whether it's actually Cintiq) and a mediocre LCD.Actually he has a Cintiq.
That's caused by either a failing monitor, or the refresh rate set too low. The higher the refresh on a CRT the easier it is on your eyes.Funny you say that, because I personally have the reverse issue. The polling effect on CRTs drives me insane.

Wasn't quite sure what you meant by digital stuff. I assumed drawing, and drawing is done directly on the Cintiq without needing to look up at the monitor.Which doesn't make the point moot?

Cintiq (every Wacom LCD) have problem with color accuracy, Red channel a bit vivid. it looks good color but sometimes looks really bad in other monitor especially like CRT.Wasn't quite sure what you meant by digital stuff.

Don't think I've ever had any issues with color accuracy, but it's also one of the later models. Only issue I have with my Cintiq is AMD cards not properly converting the digital signal from the DVI-I connector.. Main reason why I ended up switching to Nvidia.
