Have any of the forum members been there? There are a lot of interesting pics on this site: [image] Erie Street, Historic Lowell A living snapshot of a different time in America is preserved and maintained by a community of volunteers.

[image] Purebred: Yep, we have one therapist that is about 300 miles away, all sessions are done with the camera in the phone. Why this therapist? My son saw one of his doctors that way. On a follow up visit for an accident, he had the Doctor saw him via video chat. This was during Covid. It …

I got my son one of those curved monitors for his gaming/computer system. Opposite curve from a CRT :wink: but it is pretty amazing improvement over the flat screen monitors. It looks terrible for off axis viewers but if you’re the one sitting in front of it, it is a huge improvement over the flat s…

Sitting in the ‘prime position’ in front of a curved monitor or TV screen makes me woozy.

Yeah, when he is playing games, it can be dizzying (for lack of a better term) for me. Unreal ability to react at light speed at that age. My brain is two or three steps behind the action at my age.

[image] ChrisTheTireWhisperer: already done as you suggested, years ago I trust your preference but as you know, they get better and better every year so may be worthwhile to revisit every so often. They do have images displayed most of us could never achieve in real use. Those 8k images are …

[image] ChrisTheTireWhisperer: Why would I be expressing my preference for CRT if I hadn’t already done as you suggested, years ago. The still screen pic of even an old LCD or plasma is far superior to CRT. The problem with the older flat screens was switching. They couldn’t switch fast enoug…
