This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend

The end

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be?

So limitless and free

Desperately in need

Of some stranger's hand

In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane

All the children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town

Ride the King's Highway, baby

Weird scenes inside the gold mine

Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake

To the lake, the ancient lake, baby

The snake, he's long, seven miles

Ride the snake

He's old and his skin is cold

The west is the best

The west is the best

Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us

The blue bus is calling us

Driver, where you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn

He put his boots on

He took a face from the ancient gallery

And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he

Paid a visit to his brother, and then he

He walked on down the hall, and

And he came to a door

And he looked inside

"Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you"

"Mother? I want to..."

Come on baby, take a chance with us

Come on baby, take a chance with us

Come on baby, take a chance with us

And meet me at the back of the blue bus

Of the blue bus, on the blue bus, on the blue bus

Come on yeah

Fuck, fuck

Fuck fuck, fuck, fuck

Come on baby, fuck me baby yeah

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Come on baby, fuck me baby

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Come on

Fuck fuck

Alright

Fuck fuck

Kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end of your 16yo 4:3 monitor

>>916415 (OP)

Wait for MicroLED.

We literally have an entire general devoted to this.

>4:3 calculator screen

lol what does it have, a 30ms pixel response time? 60ms latency?

>I fucking hate widescreen displays and can't shell out $1000+ for a screen.

calculator screens have costed hundreds of dollars for the past 10 years. only recently they started making "high end" gaymer models for >$500

Stupid aspect ratio mate.

Get a 5:4 if you wanna be a prick about muh “widescreen” 4:3 is a shitty meme that is wider and crappier than 5:4

(Full disclosure: I sell 5:4 monitors)

>>916456

That's not an argument.

>>916465

>not and argument durhur

Also not an argument, also who said I was arguing? If you prefer 4:3 then whatever but you look like a dipshit posting yet another monitor thread on tech and not preemptively expecting people to tell you to give something different a try

>>916470

>who said I was arguing

how fucking stupid are you?

i hope you go bankrupt you fag

>feeling fondness for an lcd

>of any kind

>ever

Once you get over your shit taste, maybe go vertical 16:9 or whatever.

>>916442

Have a great weekend :) I hope you make tons of money and never have any financial problems.

>>916480

I hope you die in a fire

>>916418

>this emotional about dying plastic garbage

what is the name of this disorder again?

>>916484

I hope you have a happy life filled with joy and fun and the anger management classes sit in your past having effectively changed you for the better :)

>>916488

i hope you get tortured to death by mexican gangs who flail your dick one mm at a time and make you eat your own body for sustenance until one day you die from an infection

>>916492

I hope you receive helpful medical attention from trained professionals who are able to help you overcome your anger in life and improve for the better :) hopefully they will help you overcome your attachments to ephemeral objects so that you can move on from the loss of your beloved monitor and the frustration and grief it has caused for you. <3

I'm in the same boat. I don't know what I'm going to replace this with when it finally dies some day. Everything is some widescreen piece of shit now.

>finally switched over to VGA, after 1 minute of sitting in front of screen and pressing buttons

>>916475

notice how calculators with LCD screens slowly transition between showing different text and look shitty when you change viewing angle? an LCD monitor is just a bunch of calculator screens taped together. they're still slow as fuck and not even good for displaying animations in the first place because it fucks eyes' perception of animation by displaying an entire image for 16ms before showing a new one

>>916456

good thing it only has a finite number of 3's :^)

Don't know if you can save it but you can always buy a used one at a pawn shop or thrift store for cheap.

>>916503

I actually have to agree, I only recommended benq because OP

I prefer HP out of reliability I’ve had with them in the past.

Buy a used one or the one Dell made for 200 $ I think

>>916807

>$200 for an old LCD

no don't make this a thing

>>916854

Had this series model, 100hz refresh rate was wonderful.

>>916415 (OP)

4:3 desktop monitors are still widely available.

>>916854

Where do you find these cheap crts? I've been on ebay looking and everyone of them is 100+ easy where. Is there some secret pizza party mason club you're in where I can find these things?

>>916415 (OP)

I feel your pain, but good 4:3 displays are not hard to find if you know what you're looking for.

Learn how to visually identify the models you want and keep an eye out for people your local gumtree/craigslist equivilent. I got 2 HP LP2065s for $10 each from a bloke who showed me his garden while explaining that he used to dabble in graphic design before retiring and that's why he had these high-end monitors.

The CCFLs are technically rated for 50k hours, and while I doubt most'll last that long, supplies shouldn't be running out just yet.

If it absolutely must be new, Eizo do make 4:3 LED displays, but they're expensive for what you're getting.

>>916503

motion blur has not been a problem for desktop LCDs since the early 2000s when working with text. I don't notice it at all on IPS monitors from 2006. That said, it's still around for laptop screens since no one seems to give a fuck beyond the specs they can put on paper. My mother recently bought an MS surface laptop, and while the resolution is great, any contrasting elements leave visual streaks when dragged accross the screen. It's seriously one of the worst LCDs I've seen since the very early days.

If you're watching movies, or playing games, yes, CRT or plasma is the only way to go.

>>917131

>motion blur has not been a problem for desktop LCDs since the early 2000s when working with text. I don't notice it at all on IPS monitors from 2006.

are you blind? before i knew it was caused by motion blur, i actually couldn't tell whether the problem is caused by LCD or graphics or my perception. but it's there and it's obvious. even reading text in the terminal moving up the screen is hard. also IPS from 2006 have especially bad motion blur lol

>>917204

>hasn't peeled off the stickers on the palmrest

Absolutely plebian.

>>917323

you cant just peel those off. you need something that can remove the glue and white paper that will be left from the sticker. its much easier to just leave them there.

>>917334

isopropyl alcohol worked perfectly for me. maybe thinkpad surfaces are different though

>>916415 (OP)

Just buy Ultrawide. It's basically two 4:3 monitors stuck together.

I switched from dual 1600x1200 monitors to a curved 3440x1440 monitor and I couldn't be happier.

Where to find a 16:10 monitor made in the past 3 years anons.

I really like 16:10 but my monitor is in really bad shape now.

Why people prefer 16:9 to 16:10?

>>916415 (OP)

>$1000+

brand new you can get a screen for 100-200 and will be of similar quality of your 4:3. Go to a thriftstore and find a good 1600x1200 monitor, only buy samsung or sony. Buy a crt if you have the space.

>>917334

i peeled them off then used cooking oil and an old rag to get the glue off.

>>917359

Go to whatever price comparison site you use and filter on 16:10

should get a few hundreds

>>917334

Poster below this line

>>917355

No they're not I used it on my x200. It's fine.

>>917334

wd40 will eat the glue

peel a edge, spray, wait ,peel some more, spray

>>917250

A lot of it is up to your your personal perception and use case. 90% of my computer use is with static and images from within Emacs and I don't have any issues with blur on old monitors unless they truly can't update as quickly as I type. That has not been an issue for 15 years.

>>917361

Unless we're talking CRTs - which thrift stores are unlikely to carry - you'll be hard pressed to find good Samsung or Sony 4:3 monitors.

Dell and HP had the lion's share of business contracts and businesses are far more likely to fit out their offices with expensive monitors than home consumers are.

The Dell U2007 and HP LP2065 are the last generation of easily available UXGA IPS LCDs, but unfortunately both suffer from a panel lottery, so you have to be careful.

>>917617

>LCD motion blur does not affect static images.

that is correct. of course not if you're panning high detailed images (like satellie photos), then it's physically impossible to see many details until you pause for a second, which is highly inefficient

>>917617

There is plenty of screens in 5:4

>>917359

Dell makes the best 16:10 monitors

I just bought 2 new ones, and they're my favorite non CRT monitors

>>918247

If you really want your screen to be as square as possible, get that 1:1 Eizo monitor.

>>918247

CRTs have very high resolution.

>>916415 (OP)

Thinkvision IBM/Lenovo

got mine for around $35 iirc

>still no 2:1 screen

Literally every other aspect ratio is a meme.

>>917361

>only buy samsung or sony

Good job pointing to the 2 worst monitor manufacturers of today.

>>918247

>pic

Makes sense if you're a cyclops and if human sight was anywhere near as tall as it is wide.

>>919864

I'm pretty sure _widescreen_ is a meme. What benefit does it offer over 4:3 or 5:4? Does it look cool like the movie theater screen? Also the calculator screen industry went to shit just after a few widescreens came out. Now every screen has to have an OS and take 10 seconds to boot / change video mode. Menus take 3 seconds to display after pressing the menu button. The screen takes 1 second to react to a button press (e.g. arrow button).

>>919897

nice statism faggot

>>919666

checked.

>900p

nice find plus it's IPS so there's no more need to calibrate. if that's matte display then that's another plus though you could get a 1920 x 1200 for the same price with older thinkvision.

watch out for this thing though.

www.google.com/patents/US6506148

If you find US6506148 on the sticker or have cracked open that buddy and saw a US6506148 code then you're gonna get your mind controlled and be forced to masturbate (watch BPS episode 12)

new monitors especially gaming monitors mind control gamers to play and impulsively spend more on dlc/skins, microtransactions and p2w games while other kinds of monitors trigger parts of your brain to fap furiously to normalfag porn. If you slightly believe in what I am saying, try to get the business line of those monitors not some gaymer or generic kind.

>>920037

WUXGA is not a meme.

t. has dual 1080p screens upstairs, downstairs WUXGA and I really prefer the latter

>>920521

>it's IPS so there's no more need to calibrate

the fuck you talking bout son

>paper is full of integrals

i new integrals was the devil

my LCD is from ~2012, am i safe?

>>920551

but you could prefer cock for all I can tell. the fact that you use words like WUXGA or WHUXGA indicate so. but i agree, 16:10 is probably better than 16:9. i can't even remember if I had 16:10 at some point. that market came and went so fast that you'd have to explicitly look for it or be a gaymer fag who buys a new monitor every year

>>920552

>2012

Yes?

Since the botnet fully reached its total maximum around 2013 though the EMF brain patent were here 17 years ago.

Like I said, you could crack it open (not adviced for ccfl due to mercury vapor) or look for the paper online and see which patent numbers were used on the product even lookup what those patents are about

That's why I recommend the business line.

Ever wonder why baby boomers made so many babies? For capitalism? Consumerism (commercials)? Yes, the patents at work! Luckily the infected consumer CRT TVs are now phased out though there are still LCD monitors and smart TVs now which still use the same technologies - just look for the patent numbers.

>it's IPS so there's no more need to calibrate

IPS whitepoints are usually a bit yellowish but are easier to color calibrate than my 14yo sunlight exposed monitor

>>920037

Widescreen is forced marketing meme.

They want wider horizontals not verticals that is due to the fact they can't achieve excellent top/bottom viewing angles with a horizontal RGB pixel like on the old TFT screens plus those are expensive so they had to (((maximize))) the profit

So it only gets wider and right now is around 21:9

though the IPS should already fix this vertical RGB viewing angle problem, it seems that the "lets make screens wider" meme right now is just a vestigial.

>>920970

> 21:9

Da fuq?

>>923756

Okay that made me chuckle.

Speaking of 16:10

>the newest laptops with 16:10 are first gen Core machines and some modern tablets

Fuck this world, I want a 1920x1200 laptop with decent specs!

>>923823

>Fuck this world, I want a 1920x1200 laptop with decent specs!

Why the need for a powerful laptop when you can ssh to your desktop?

>>923823

Macbooks have always been 8:5.

There are also a few laptops coming out with 3:2 panels, which are slightly taller. (1.5:1 vs 1.6:1).

>>923824

Why the need for a powerful laptop when you can javascript to our cloud?

>>924275

>javascript

Well, that's the reason why laptop needs to be powerful :^3
