you could probably get close to the effect with an ultra high res HDR OLED display, but it will never look quite like a white vector CRT, no.

eh with a 5,000 nit display you can do it, plus CRT overdrive effects with shaders and stuff.

a nit is a candela/m2. a lumen is a candela*steradian. so it depends on how much area those lumen are spread over

the only music worth listening to is encoding a straight RGB file and opening it up in a audio editor as a wav file and just listening to pure RGB pixels hit your ears.

also, use a headphone amplifier that accepts only balanced audio output, only the finest balanced analog waves should be gracing your ears.

i seriously have no idea, i haven't looked at media player options outside VLC for what a decade?

lol remember the quicktime 4 interface



"okay, so the volume control is a little thumbwheel, right?"
"yes sir, Mr. Jobs."
"like those little things on a walkman that you can barely work with your fingernail? don't get me wrong, i don't want an actual dial, here."
"no, it's like a thumbwheel. anything else?"
"yea, let's remove all the buttons except play."
"i'm not sure that's such a good ide-"
"and pause."
"you mean you want a pause button and a play button?"
(silent stare)
"i mean, you can only ever be in play mode or pause mode, never both, so if you want to really go for minimalism, we could just do a bi-modal--"
"you're fired."

that lasted like 8 months before v5 came out with all the real buttons back
