orijin20238yCRTs were shooting electrons out at nearly the speed of light. Imagine a long exposure of this when it's hitting your soft jelly eyes.
LCDs don't work like this. -
@orijin I doubt most moms were thinking about electrons when they told their kids not to sit close to the TV :P
-
orijin20238y@Charmgoggles photons have 0 resting mass, unlike a speeding electron, they bounce off and loose energy untill they come to a full stop.

BartBB6898yIts not all about CRT, you know. Different researches claim that the fact your eyes get used to looking at a specific distance makes it harder for it to adapt to other distances. Having a screen right at your eye is not good for long periods of time. @kamen @orijin

kamen69638y@BartBB A computer/phone screen is not very different - it's only better because you can easily look away from it.

BartBB6898yI never said they were different. But they actually are, the closer it is to your eyes, the worse. Your eye muscles get used to using a certain amount of strength, and then have a hard time adapting to a different distance, usually longer distances. @kamen
