I saw that tweet and a few others going around, and while I agree that it looks better on a CRT I think it's stupid to be like "devs designed it with the fuzziness in mind!" Like what else would the pixel equivalent have looked like?

It's less about CRTs specifically and more about the analog signals from an RF/composite connection that naturally create a softer image because the signals bleed into one another. The best example is the waterfalls in Sonic which look transparent over a crappy connection because the dithered pixels blur into one another

imo the point was that the art looks worse with age than it actually is because people see it now and think "wow how didn't I realise how bad it looked" when it didn't. that was my take of it anyway

the way a crt displays a 240p image and the way an RF or composite signal blends colors are different things.

a standard def crt displays a 480i image (i meaning interlaced, meaning only half of the scanlines are displaying anything any given cycle), so the way a 240p image is sent from an old console (roughly ps1/n64 back) is by splitting the image up onto every other scanline consistently, which along with the CRT's glow, creates a unique antialiasing effect that isn't replicated when blowing up the image onto a flat panel screen. Anyone making low res games back then relied on this effect being present, including arcade developers who were working with a crystal clear RGB signal straight to a high quality monitor (no noise or color blending).

there's a lot of great CRT filters for emulators out there now though that do split up the image properly and add a nice convincing glow effect, and as these effects get better and as display technology gets better and gets less laggy there'll be no reason to keep crts around
