[Shotimes] (OT) New Digital Monitor

[Shylo McKinsey]

The Trinitron is the ONLY CRT I'd ever buy. I think
I've gotten so "used" to LCDs that now whenever I look
at a CRT, the flashing literally makes me sick. Even
if the refresh rate is up @ 80 Hertz or higher; I can
still see it flicker. Guess I'm just weak. At least
the with the Trinitrons you can't really see it...
