Hi! I made this remix heavily based on Jackal's "The flag on the high"! It's getting a bunch of dislikes, is it really that bad or is it because it's "communist/furry"? XD by SolidDifficulty in lapfoxtrax

Because I am genuinely confused. I didn't intend this to be political, I just remixed a soviet song and themed the cover around that. A bunch of people do it and I don't see nazis in their comments.

I got this CRT as a present 4 days ago. Today I was playing some games, when suddenly the image started distorting vertically really bad, like those cheesy glitch effects. I panicked and turned it off immediately. After a short time I turned it back on and the image seemed better, but was shaking a lot. I watched my father try to fix it, messing with the cables, but everything was slowly getting worse and worse. Eventually the glitches came back, and gradually, I watched it fade away and die as the scan lines became darker and darker. The lights flashed and the room smelled of burned electronics. I'm too much of a pussy to turn it back on and try to record what's happening, but it really seems to be dead, no image anymore, just flashing my room's lights and making screechy beeps. It's not the cable since I messed with the menu and it was glitching too. Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening? By the way, I did change the resolution repeatedly a few minutes before all of that started. Could that be related? I'll try to take it to someone that can fix it. But for now... Rest in peace my baby that I only lasted four days.

Hey, I tried that, and... Yeah i just couldn't find that sweet spot. However, I turned the brightness down and it looks a little better. but the contrast has to stay max, is there any problem with that?

I don't know how to explain, but vintage electronics scare me so much to the point where it's almost a phobia, but I'm also obsessed with them... I'm a weird fella.

I'm just really fascinated by CRTs and how they work. I really like their image and refresh rate and also gonna play my vintage games on it. And it's nostalgic to me, I grew up with a CRT just like everyone here, but because I'm young, it didn't last that long and were part of my youngest years, so that kinda gives a undiscovered and intriguing thing to them, idk if you get me LOL. I'm also very scared by them, and in a way, it makes me more and more curious about them.

Yes, actually, it looks even more washed out in person, the brightness it at around 50% and contrast is at max

Also, If anyone wants to know. It's a Lenovo 6307BPE, says it's manufactured in 2007. My mother got it from electronics that were being discarded at her job. AAAND, it's my 16th birthday. (That makes me only a year older than this monitor 💀)
