It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible. (lemmy.world)

The CRT flicker gives me headache in no time, even with good maintenanced expensive studio monitors. I didn't had that problem as a kid in the 80s but now as I am older, and used to flicker free flat screen monitors, it is really bad.

What kills me the worst is how piercingly bright some flat panels are. Even through my astigmatism I'm one of those dark mode all the things kind of guys. CRTs never bothered me, I could stare at a bright white blank Word document all day, but my Gigabyte Gaming panel feels like staring into the sun.
