My man. Now THIS person knows about CRT gaming. I’m merely an old man with limited time to research all this. Anyone talking about phosphor strips and halation and magnetic interference /gaussing probably knows their 💩.

I just know I like wearing the nostalgia goggles that add those artifacts my old eyes still hazily remember and weirdly prefer.

If you have the space, I highly recommend just getting a mid-sized CRT for the lulz :D It's such a fun hobby. I went down the rabbit hole a little too hard in 2016 and have to downsize now. But I'd still get one to play around with while they're still available for a couple of bucks (I hear it has gotten harder in the US already).
