Misleading Link: .CRT file extension[edit]

I clicked on the link ".crt file extension, in computing" and couldn't find CRT or .crt mentioned anywhere in the article! 15:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Me too. Removed the misleading link. You might like to look at http://filext.com/file-extension/crt

Nothing recent allows any burn in[edit]

Older technology CRT suffer screen burn-in, though not as quickly as Plasma displays. However nothing recent allows burn-in, nothing since the early 1990s perhaps before.

It is not clear whether the statement is referring to recent CRTs or recent display technologies. However, some newer technologies such as AMOLED screens have the issue of burn-in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.14.228.130 (talk) 18:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was Casting vote: do not move. I have put cathode ray tube first in the list. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:22, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CRT → CRT (disambiguation) — I've seldom ever seen "CRT" refer to something other than cathode ray tube. Who even types in "CRT" to find out about Chinese remainder theorem or the Chicago Rapid Transit Company? I see this as annoying to readers who want to read about the cathode ray tube display technology, which has a well known abbreviation but stumble onto a disambig page where they have to hunt for it under bunches of irrelevant things. In addition to that, after the move, CRT should then be changed to redirect instead to cathode ray tube. GraYoshi2x►^talk 01:05, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, it makes sense. 76.66.197.30 (talk) 03:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose — "CRT" meaning cathode ray tube is obsolete, and when it was common among computer users computers themselves were not all that common. --Una Smith (talk) 19:08, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How this has anything to do with common terminology I don't know; I'm just completely baffled by your post and what you're talking about. It doesn't even look like you have any knowledge or insight on the subject! And to reply to your rather unrelated argument, computers were very much common (in fact extremely popular) during CRT's reign as a display technology.

Please refrain from ad hominem remarks. --Una Smith (talk) 00:45, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And how was that in any way ad hominem? Pointing out the fallacies in your argument is not an "ad hominem remark". GraYoshi2x►^talk 01:35, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(Oh, and FYI, CRT TVs also remain extremely popular.) GraYoshi2x►^talk 14:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
