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.
you would also see subpixels on LCD at this level of zoom. this is misleading.
No such claim was made. I highly doubt anybody casually has a LCD TV with a low enough resolution, and even if we play under a magnifying glass, LCD sub pixels will result in a drastically different image. It’s only “misleading” if you ignore the context, which is playing old games stretched over a fundamentally different (90% of the time FullHD) screen without any adjustments taking place.
