There's also the thing where the pixels are slightly wider on a CRT(?) and the artists definitely designed around that. That's why old NES games look ever so slightly weird if you're playing them in emulator.

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

having a CRT is great although i guess it kind of sucks if youre american and you have to mess around with "component" (? i have never even seen these irl) cables instead of just using scart

driving to some old lady's house to pick up a 1996 bang & olufsen unit and hauling it into your car by yourself, stopping on the way back to your car to catch your breath, hauling it out of the car again back home and up the stairs and hooking that sucker up

A couple years ago I found a 32” Trinitron on Craigslist and when we went to pick it up the guy was only wearing a bathrobe. It was insanely heavy and when we got home we loaded it into the basement because it was too hard to get upstairs and my girlfriend was really pissed off. Then we had flooding in our basement and it got ruined anyway before I could even use it

I still have a 34" Widescreen Sony Trinitron with HDMI inputs. It's like 400lbs and I'm not sure what I want to do with it when I move.

Modern displays have made us accustomed to much sharper and blocky pixel art than what developers back then intended, and if you play these classics on a CRT display you'll realize just how much artistry there was to this craft:

ive never once understood the love for crts, i always hated them as a kid. and i played a nes and my ps1 on them sometimes as a kid and I'd be hard pressed to tell you if it looked different than a LCD, except for obvious poo poo like cheap lcds having terrible colors usually
