and have terrible resolution

Now-now. With CRTs resolution is not an inherent trait anyway. You could trade off update frequency for better resolution and back.

They’re heavy, waste tons of space, guzzle power,

When CRTs were common, LCD displays also were heavy, wasted tons of space and guzzled power. And for some time after that they were crap for your eyes.

Even the best CRT ever made is absolutely destroyed by the worst of modern LCDs.

No, the best CRT ever made is really not that, but also costs like an airplane’s wing.

Well, that and the resolution was so garbage they had a natural form of antialiasing, but that’s a really optimistic way of saying they were blurry as shit.

An LCD display has resolution as its trait. A CRT display has a range of resolutions realistically usable with it. It doesn’t have a matrix of pixels, only a surface at which particles are shot.

So, the point before I forget it. While CRTs as they existed are a thing of the past, it would be cool to have some sort of optical displays based on interference (suppose, two lasers at the sides of the screen) or whatever, allowing similarly agile resolution change, and also more energy-efficient than LCDs, and also better for one’s eyes. I think there even are some, just very expensive. Removing the “one bad pixel” component would do wonders. Also this could probably be a better technology for foldable displays. As in - now you scratch a screen, you have to replace the matrix. While such a component wouldn’t cost as much a whole matrix, the lasers would be the expensive part.

Anyway, just dreaming.
