By popular demand posted:How come I can hear 15.7khz only with my ear to the speaker at full volume but not farther? Is that like the Doppler effect? You're likely feeling/hearing harmonics and distortions at this point, not the actual 15.7 khz tone.

When I was in 8th grade my parents bought me a 27" CRT for my bedroom, and the ringing was so strong to me, amplified by my small room, that I couldn't watch it. They gave it to my sister and bought me a different one that wasn't nearly as intense for whatever reason. I'm not sure I'd be able to hear it nowadays.

The best part about crts was that you could take the back off, risk a bad shock, and run speaker wires straight into the back of the tube. Then when you’d play music it turned into an analog visualizer oscilloscope thing That was fun

the real annoying 15khz whine of the deflection yoke is when someone whines about it (all your 90s PC monitor CRTs operated at above 15khz at typical VGA resolutions and more so there isn't anything audible)

Sophy Wackles posted:Try playing around 15,700 Hz here and see if you can still hear it. I think that's the CRT whine frequency. I can't hear it well because it's either loving up my phone or it's merged with the continuous unending tone of tinnitus which I hear at all times continuously It starts getting hard to tell around 14-15

Fantastic Foreskin posted:Don't put high volume high frequency noises near your ear. It's supposed to be super bad for your hearing, even if perceptually it's barely audible. really? i just spent a minute or two listening to that web site through my headphones. lol thanks something awful forums. stand by for the lawsuit jeffery. (I got to about 15,200 Hz before I stopped being able to hear it btw, no idea whether the quality of my headphones is a limiting factor. I could hear the whine of a CRT on standby when I was a kid.) When I was in school I recall one physics lesson where they played us some educational video, and the teacher left the tv switched on afterwards. After about 5 minutes one of the other kids asked him if he could switch it off because the whine was a distraction, and the teacher was super surprised that they could hear it. Well not surprised exactly, I think the question just caught him off guard, he found it amusing.

Amber monochrome is such a neat look, especially since green monochrome is so engrained as the "old" terminal look in media. I've never seen one in person, but I just like how the amber looks.

I've never seen one in person, but I just like how the amber looks. I used to work for a beverage company that used late ‘70s monochrome amber and green terminals that would print out data on old two-tone green paper fed into a giant dot matrix printer from the same era. I was told that the owner bought a fuckload of paper for the printer back around that time, but once it got all used up, that was it because they didn’t make that paper or even that size of paper anymore. This was in 2007

I liked how the picture on some old TV screens would shrink down to a glowing white dot when you switched it off, and they were all different. My grandparents had several ancient TVs, the kind that were built in to large wooden cabinets, and you could get all sorts of weird effects with the glowing dot by switching it on and off multiple times. Sometimes the dot would leave a trail lIke a comet as it faded. There was also that creepy thing where you would turn off the TV in a dark room and the whole screen would glow for a few minutes. I loved jacking with the tint and color and vertical hold controls and make people’s faces green and purple. Come to think of it, I got yelled at a lot for messing with the TV.

You Are A Elf posted:That incredibly high pitched 15 KHz tone they used to emit while they were on that made it seem like you had superhuman hearing and/or was a demigod or some poo poo. You’d be in another room yelling, “Hey, turn off the dang TV!”, and someone would ask how you knew it was on, and you’d just turn to the imaginary camera and grin like Kevin McAllister. I can hear up to 16,000 hz. Wife can hear up to 15,000 hz. Kid can hear 20,100 hz. Thx for coming to my TED talk

I've got a crt oscilloscope that focuses down to a dot if you let it. You don't appreciate how freakishly bright they are when the beam is in motion.
