An impressive effort has been made to replicate the exact appearance of old CRT televisions on modern LCD and OLED panels. The page I've linked is very well written.

As a 90s kid it's pretty funny to see, we were so impressed with every new increase in graphic fidelity in games and TV. The idea of deliberately trying to replicate a CRT nowadays tickles me

    It depends. Graphics weren't spiky pixels as you can recall. That produced a far softer image, aside from scanlines and all the other stuff.

    By now I can hardly play retro games from that time without shader, since the impression is auch a difference.

    And I always was a pc player (from 8086/8088 on) and my consoles from mega drive on always used scart.

    Still.
