Not sure if you played on a CRT in the past, but nonetheless it’s interesting how different things looked. Here is my favorite example.
Yup! Not many people know the impact of those filters tho. When I was emulating as a kid I hated CRT filters because I just saw them as noise (which many arguably are, it’s not trivial making a good CRT filter). Also if you used one of those pixel edge smoothing filters (like I used to) it would be even further from the intended look.
Of course I’m not the fun police, I believe everyone should be free to run their games as they please. I just find it fascinating that there even is such a big difference!
