"If you've been playing games for any amount of time, then you most certainly have memories of playing games on your childhood CRT," said Coury Carlson, host of YouTube's My Life In Gaming, about the popularity of Cathode Ray Tube television sets. "Yet for all their history, in so short a time, CRTs have fallen into disuse," Carlson says. "Most people think of CRTs as useless, unwanted space-wasters that you couldn't pay someone to take away." But, Carlson concludes, "sometimes to get the best picture, you have to go backwards."
