They make CRT the fastest monitor in the world (700Hz)

We’ve spent years with brands struggling to offer the best gaming monitor. in terms of refresh rateand now we know that no one is superior CRT monitor made 22 years ago. That’s it. Using TN, Fast IPS or VA panels, OLED or MiniLED, none of these technologies managed to beat the record set by the CRT monitor. Although, of course, there is some help, and that is
Resolution is important to achieve this achievement.

This help is of little importance. and the current fastest monitors on the market They resort to Full HD resolution
(1920 x 1080 pixels) to be able to further increase the limits. As the resolution increases maximum refresh rate dropsThe reason is quite obvious and can be summarized as follows: bandwidth and processing limitations. That is, the higher the resolution, the lower the refresh rate must be due to bandwidth and processing limitations. At higher resolutions more pixels They have to be updated every second. The effort on the GPU and CPU becomes even greater when more pixels mean more information to process.

An old CRT monitor boasts a refresh rate of 700 Hz.

As you saw, YouTube channel RetroGamingBase used an old monitor to set this record. iiyama Vision Master Pro 512. We’re talking about a CRT monitor, a technology that many of you reading this article may never even try. To give you some context: yes, those old fat-ass monitors. They’ve managed to push refresh rates up to 500Hz before, and this time they’ve broken the record.
up to 700 HzBefore reaching this record, the same video managed to reach 600 Hz.

While a modern monitor uses a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels to achieve maximum performance, this CRT monitor had to resort to a resolution of 320 x 120 pixels for gaming at 700Hz (320 x 150p for 600Hz) Extremely low resolution, especially if it
22 inches. Interestingly, Windows 11 has managed to adapt quite well to such low resolutions.

This CRT monitor is capable of achieving maximum resolution
2048 x 1536 pixels with access to four USB ports and all this for nothing, just almost 30 kilograms.

Does it make sense to use this type of monitor today?

Today, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors are in high demand in a certain niche. to retro video games. And despite the fact that this is an outdated technology, still has some advantages on LCD panels (liquid crystal display).

CRT monitors can display a wider range of colors and with greater precision. In addition to the proposal
deeper black colorwider viewing angles or Almost instant response timeAdditional benefits include no dead pixel issues and absolutely no ghosting issues.

Using CRT monitors is ideal for retro foodies as they can display pixel graphics and colors in a way that accurately the original idea of ​​old game developers.
