Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Would a modern CRT make any sense?
It’s always interesting to see how much pushback there is whenever CRTs or alternative display technologies come up. Reminds me of the fanboy wars around consoles and whatnot. CRTs offer advantages over modern sample and hold displays. Modern sample and hold displays also have their own... -

Would a modern CRT make any sense?
Fair enough. I never said that it’s something most people would like to see. I own CRT, plasma, LCD and 4K QD-OLED displays. I know it’s something I want to see. Owning all these different display technologies, I don’t think it’s a simple case of nostalgia like vinyl; the tech has real... -

Would a modern CRT make any sense?
Without getting overly technical, SED/FED uses phosphors (like CRTs and plasmas) and operate as impulse‑based displays. With SED/FED displays you don’t need 1000Hz displays to match CRTs. Movies and other low frame rate 24p content is flawless as well. Apart from the motion quality, the way in... -

Would a modern CRT make any sense?
You have to compare those prototypes to other displays available at the time, not to today’s mature panels. An SED/FED panel made today would outperform those early prototypes by a wide margin. Most of the prototypes are from the early to mid-2000s. I believe the last demonstrations were... -

Would a modern CRT make any sense?
I think the best way to bring back CRTs is to have OEMs such as Sony offer restoration services. That would be much more feasible than restarting production lines. This would also be ideal for the environment because it would prevent sets from going to the landfill. If the program is a success...
