I still remember the precise day my old Iiyama Vision Master Pro CRT finally died back in 2007. It felt like losing a limb, and my muscle memory has never truly recovered from the transition to flat panels. These days, we have these bloated operating systems adding forced composition latency to everything. Running games in borderless windowed mode is basically a death sentence for high-level play because of how the OS compositer handles frames. You can buy a three thousand dollar monitor, but Microsoft still finds a way to inject buffer delay just so your desktop transitions look pretty. My old setup didn't need to negotiate with a window manager to show me a frame. Anyone else forced to run registry hacks just to get back a fraction of that raw connection to the engine?
