CRT & Dial-Up Web Viewing
Caption
800×600 CRT displays and 56k modems — the hardware context for texture-heavy early web pages.
Historical Impact
Every skeuomorphic Flash intro and beveled storefront was experienced through a curved CRT at 800×600, often over dial-up. Loading bars, pixel dithering, and visible scanlines shaped how designers balanced visual richness against brutal performance constraints.
