Retro games really did look better on a CRT - Lemmy.world

A lot of games depend on a CRT for color blending / smoothing / transparency effects. I actually don’t really like how nearly all 8 / 16bit games look on modern displays, filters generally don’t do a good enough job emulating the look.
It’s called dithering, and it’s super nice imo. Still, I kinda like the super pixely look if I’m being honest.

There's something very satisfying about it being actually pixel-perfect.

However, there's also something to be said for a/b comparing for each sperate game and deciding what you think looks best for it. Having options is always best.
