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?

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.

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.

Actually he has a Cintiq.
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.
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.
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.
