I am happy CRT monitor are gone, those huge, heavy things, that often emitted high-pitched noises and lots of heat.
Their only advantage was that on average they seemed to last a bit longer. And viewing from certain angles was less of a problem.

... and they could keep a whole house heated.

Not to mention the flickering. Glad they're gone as well.

Who cares, do you really think there will be anything new to say on the topic after 85 pages?

Right. I have no problem with people liking what they have.

Yeah, they were huge power consumers. I'm happy to see them gone. Though, my PC and iMac still heat up my studio even without CRTs.

I'm sure we'll see authentic modeled CRT emulations before long.

We already are in the Emulation scene (particularly in Mame) using hlsl shaders to make screens look more crt-y!

Has anyone pointed out yet that KORG is GROK spelled backwards?

Korg kakaku (小売価格) means "retail" in japanese.
I don´t know if the name of the company has anything to do with that etymology.

64bit only user means tosser in English.

The name of the company comes from KeiO ORGan. "Korg was founded in 1962 in Japan by Tsutomu Katoh[1] and Tadashi Osanai as Keio Gijutsu Kenkyujo Ltd.. It later became Keio Electronic Laboratories

In 1967, Katoh was approached by Fumio Mieda, an engineer who wanted to build keyboards. Impressed with Mieda's enthusiasm, Katoh asked him to build a prototype and 18 months later Mieda returned with a programmable organ. Keio sold the organ under the name KORG, created by using the first letter of each founder's name plus "RG" from their planned emphasis on products targeted for the organ market (emphasizing the letters R and G in the word "organ")"

Korg updates its Legacy Collection with a new Arp Odyssey emulation
