Having started my career as an Avid guy by deliveriing hire suites to post production companies, I really don’t miss CRTs.
We would deliver three with each suite; two computer monitors and one “client” monitor for previewing output.
Lugging three hefty 21" CRTs up flights of stairs (because the edit suites were always in the cheapest rooms on the top floor) is not an experience I miss.
Interestingly, this article converges with something else I’ve been checking out recently: the largest High Definition CRTs. There’s some nice YouTube vids out there showing modern games running on monitors such as the Sony HDM-3830, and they look great. But it’s still mad to think that it would still look tiny and convex next to my current telly.
