»My 19" #CRT is 110 Watt nominal.
My 30" Dell 3008WFP LCD is 163W nominal. (250W max) My 46" LCD TV is 171 Watt nominal.
The 24" Dell 2410 displays at work (3x) are ~120W nominal each.

It's really just since LED backlight the last few years that display power usage has gone down.«

Greetings Programs!

I'm jared. Been floating through Fedi looking for a safe, like-minded system to get installed in and find a comfy ~. So now that I'm here, here's an #introduction.

In another life, I was a Techno-Wizard, fighting the good fight against the Chi-Town Coalition forces and the Prosek family at large.

I'm a computer nerd who is still in love in the 80s and 90s. I've got a thing for 70s sci-fi and fantasy art and Choose Your Own Adventure books. I miss when the Sci-Fi Channel Anime Festival was a new thing.

If you want a list of things to know me by: 7 [Things] to Know Me By.

IRL, I'm married to a awesome mathy crafter and live in Maryland, USA.

Lots of #80sAnime, #fantasy books 🪄, #SciFi shows, music across a huge spectrum 🎹, #gaming, retro nerdery, #CRTs  and so on.

Aw man, I just noticed a little burn-in on my phone's screen along the top bar and where the gesture navigation bar on the bottom used to be. :(

It's not even two years old.

#Android #OLED #BurnIn

This is the first time I've seen burn-in in-person since the 90s. :P

(#CRTs)

It's so cold today (-5C) that I've got four CRTs fired up down here in the basement -only- to provide heat - our house heat isn't cutting it in the basement. Oy 🥶

"Modern pixel art suffers from two ailments: artists afraid of using traditional techniques because things may not look blocky enough, and rosy nostalgia that unfairly depicts CRT screens as a much more forgiving medium than they actually were."

The future is already here, it's just not very evenly distributed yet.

"CRTs don't really get true black! They're just not /quite/ as bad as LCD!"

Our CRT begs to differ. It's as good as our OLED phone.
