I want to preface with the statement I agree CRTs can offer a gaming experience that can't be replicated by LCDs. That said, there are a variety of reasons one might want to retrofit a CRT with something more modern (maintenance, lack of parts, weight, etc).
For LCD monitors, the 16:9 aspect ratio was adopted fairly early in their lifecycle so few modern (low latency) 4:3 LCDs exist, and none that I was aware of larger than 20-21in. Though I have seen people mod various cabinets with 16:9 LCDs, it's usually an awkward process and less than ideal use of display space.
Every once in a while, I scour the web to see if anyone has decided to produce a 29in 4:3 LCD display, and this time I came across something that might work:
https://www.lcdhome.live/product/digital-signage-30inch-square-screen-43-display-lcd-monitor/
I'm still not completely certain the response time will be low enough but it seems worth further investigation. I'm considering ordering a sample unit from china to perform testing on latency and inerop with my OSSC. Before I go that route and drop approx $600, has anyone already tested this display themselves?
