Were CRTs better for gaming?

is there a way to apply this to mednafen?
I could only imagine what I've been missing out on.

Pretty much, pixels on a CRT blend together much better. Check this picture out

For playing SD games yes. Not for games made to be run in 1080p though

Yes.

Gen 5 and below definitely, but a lot of gen 6 games look great on modern displays upscaled.

Another example of artists taking CRT technology into account when drawing sprites

I had that exact monitor back in the day what the fuck

this effect you cite was literally phased out by better crt's
disgusting

>muh disgusting crt bad
How does it feel to have an IQ of 70?

i have ab old compaq crt curious if it matters for league

unironically VAs are the best all round monitors.

>this effect you cite was literally phased out by better crt's
wtf are you talking about? A better CRT would still have the same effect

Yes, in pretty much every way.

Even a shitty Dell monitor can hit 1280x1024. That's a low resolution to you?

*in pretty much a single way that only mega-autists will ever notice

It's more like CRTs allow pixels to be displayed with more or less power while LCDs always show them at 100% power.

What might be a very faint little dot on a CRT on an LCD will always be a full square.

Boy you sure do love suckin' that normalfag cock don't ya boy
maybe one of these days they'll even let you rim em' out if you defend them on the internet enough times

Defend who, you stupid retard? Do you even think about what you're saying or do you just say whatever comes into your atrophied mind?

Not him but pretty much yeah, since 16:9 games would be rendered as literal 720p on those screens
1920x1440 CRTs are fine tho

Playing any game that has a dark color scheme will be ruined by LCD display. CRT's can display perfect black. Doesn't take an autismo to see that

The only way you are going to match the speed and negligible input lag of a CRT is by sacrificing everything else in a panel. And even the best panels can't match them in black levels.

The only reason CRTs went away is because they were bad for the environment, and because consumers are fucking retarded thinking they need a slim panel unless they live in a pod hotel.

Everytime Yas Forums creates a bait thread to shit on CRTs makes me miss them even more.

It takes an autismo to care though.

CRT better for everything but the text

Gimmie a 4K CRT

I can lift it

yeah, using retroarch (mednafen's psx core is called beetle, i use the software one since i don't fuck with hardware mode shit)

eat more shit normalpleb

never tried retroarch, but i will i guess.

Cry more, you nostalgia-ridden, decrepit old fuck. The world will never go back to what it was during your childhood.

But back when CRTs were the standard PC games were designed for them so you wouldn't have that problem. Even today there's almost always a workaround if a game doesn't support arbitrary resolutions and aspect ratios out of the box.

By posting in this thread you have literally proven that you care. Your strawman argument is only cementing the fact that you have little evidence to back my retort. Neck yourself

>it takes an autismo to care tho
It also takes one to care about small graphic details and to care about 4K resolution yet you fags never miss an opportunity to throw all your money at those huh?
You're a literal NPC that unironically consumes every new shiny thing they fling at you even if you never had a reason to care.

it's annoying to set up and has a shitty interface but once you get used to it it's easy and convenient, so long as you use a controller to navigate it
the shader framework works for all cores, even the ffmpeg one, so you can watch anime with a crt shader like a retard if you feel like it lol

It's theoretically possible to display 4k in interlaced mode on the very last generation most high spec'd PC CRT monitors but no one has proven it IRL yet afaik.

CRT's basically don't show the complete picture at one time, they only show single electrons shot from an electron cannon that aims at a very specific part of the screen. This shit happens so fast we don't notice it, but it still blurs things up a bit

What shader is this one?

>interlaced

That doesn't count though.

also it could be done with 4x 1080p CRT projectors working together in a 2x2 array, but no one has done that either

customized preset based on 'slotmask soft' from the analog shader pack, basically the closest approximation of the shitty toshiba i had as a kid lol

Interlaced counts and those who say different are video pseuds. Little bit o' combing won't hurt ya

Try to contain your tears, it's pathetic.

for the games that were designed to be played on them, I believe so. I have yet to try a modern game on a CRT and I stopped using them in the late 2000s. As someone that grew up in that era, I do miss the look that they give but I do think the fidelity of today's stuff is just eye-watering and don't really want to go back to the outdated tech.

>l-lol cry more au-autist! p-pathetic haha

You're right, that is a pretty reasonable argument

yeah maybe monitors during the late 80's
stupid fucking parrot

Yes. But vidya will always be small boy to film, so what can you do.

Explain to a retard how I can get this effect to work? Friend was shilling retroarch to me yesterday because of the amount of filters and effects you can setup for games.

Even a higher resolution CRT would still blend better than LCD. And tell me a LCD can produce a true black pixel. Go on, say it

As far as I know, with retroarch, you'll probably need to download it separately

so set up all ur retroarch shit, if you want just psx go for beetle psx core (hardware or software, personally prefer software since i like the original look of the games)
you have to make sure your psx games are in bin/cue format, since that's what's supported
retroarch already comes with shaders but you can download others obviously
anyway once you've launched a game you then hit the menu button (f1 if you don't have a controller with a middle button like a 360 or ps3 one) and go to shaders, from there you just select a preset, if you like it, save it as the preset for the core, that way every psx game will use the same shader
you can do this for everything in retroarch, altho some hardware cores don't support .cg shaders, .glsl shaders will work though

why does the CRT seem to have worse contrast in this example when it's commonly said that CRTs had better black levels?

Because one is an image made entirely digitally and the one to the left was taken with a camera.

huh. the slight bloom makes it look like the right images were also taken off-screen.

Yeah now looking better, maybe it was. But the left one also looks like a scan from a pretty old photography

Is the one from the gifs a shader that's built in or do I have to download one? and if so, obviously I want to know which shader it is if anyone knows

I like how they looked for older games, it was fantastic. Anons have already posted examples here
The way low-res games and pixel art looked on CRTs had a very impressionist quality to them.
CRTs blended the colors a bit more naturally.
It was like you brain was filling in more of the information.
When you play those games on modern screens you see all the pixels too clearly breaking a bit of that illusion.

They absolutely were.
Does anyone know a decent CRT thats small and has some kind of audio out so I can use headphones? Preferably not overpriced either.
I'm fine with composite.
PS2 games are impossible to get looking decent on LCDs

I'm pretty sure it's because the CRT photos were digitally brightened to make them look more comparable, since the CRT picture would naturally be a lot darker. Either that or it's a result of CRT screens reflecting more light than LCDs. It doesn't look like the second set of photos were taken digitally, but I'm unsure, I didn't make this picture

to my totally untrained eye it looks like crt royale or something similar, which i'm pretty sure is built in, regardless, you can find shader packs on google with minimal effort
it's very easy to switch shaders on the fly and choose which one you think looks best, you can even alter their parameters to suit yourself if there's something you don't like about a preset

Any zoomer playing old games on a modern without filters is doing it wrong.

Only for retro games.

>not owning a CRT for older consoles and LCD for newer consoles

The sound of the CRT turning on still gets me every time.

Meh, I was born in '89 and lived through all that and I have yet to see a single filter or combination of filters that really capture what a game looked like on an old CRT TV through RF cable. I do like the little touch in Kega Fusion where it displays snow on the screen when the "system" is off.
