Hypothetical best performance from an all tube color tv
This was just a thought I was wondering, and I figured people on this forum would be able to give a more informed answer to it than I could since I am very unfamiliar still with vacuum tube electronics. Are there ANY performance advantages a vacuum tube tv set would have over a solid state crt tv or even a LCD TV ect. (whether in sound, color, tuning, reliability, contrast) I know vacuum tube sound is supposed to be "warmer" but I don't really know the actual scientific or measured differences.
I know CRTs have very good refresh rates, so much so that many gamers from my generation are still aggressively seeking out many remaining CRTs to play high speed action based games on them since LCD screens seem to be rather laggy. Thought experiment: A custom built all vacuum tube tv set with a modern trinitron style CRT with ultra fine dot pitch like in a high end computer monitor. I know the ability or cost to make such a thing would probably be crazy high, but I can dream of such a thing right? lol Regardless of whether there is any objective performance advantage I still am fascinated by how designers were able to make such impressive devices back in the 50s and 60s it is a testament to ingenuity and quality. |
