@patterfloof Yeah, and at least the CRT had the excuse of needing to warm up the emitter. LCDs have no such excuse. Laptop screens are on and fully bright before I even finish opening the lid, even if they've been off for a day. But desktop computer monitors, despite using the same technology, for reasons unknown, take a long time to turn on. @existentialcomics
