Why are they like this?

CRT fags be like
>>106918784Are people finally realizing this? Sitting actual TV-watching distance from the screen (you know, the way it was meant to be played), CRT just looks dark and blurry.
>>106918814>>106918837>CRT fags be like
Btw, real crt's look nothing like these garbage shaders. It's technically impossible to do it justice on any flat panel on the market today irrespective of color reproduction capabilities.
Why do crt people like those black lines over everything?
>>106918864>No true Scotsman
>>106918864photos of them never do them justice. if you could see what they look like in a photo/video of them on an lcd, then it means an lcd can do what a crt can and there'd be no arguments needed in the first placeclip: adjusting the iso on my camera to show the dynamic range of a 30 year old monitor, it can't capture the dim stars and asteroid details without blowing out the bright earth.
>>106918891Kek, exactly what I'm talking about.
>>106918784oh no im thinking about princess peach bondageGod damn you crtfagsI didn't ask for this
>>106918907
>>106918894The problem here is integer aspect ratio correction which can be technically nonviable for many resolutions (a 640x350 vga image is going to take at least a 22400x16800 display just for that alone) and the extra size required to simulate the leaking of the light emitted by the phosphors and also the lack of proper blanking which makes shit either blurry or actually darker if you try to simulate it. Too many things, and that assuming top of the line consumer monitors in 2025.
I love this varying width scan-line effect of Trinitrons. The brighter the pixel is the wider the scan-line becomes, which happens to interact with eg anti-aliased text so that it creates smoother curves than possible in the input picture itself; literally analog super resolution.Picrel, eg the top of the letter P demonstrates this effect very clearly. A very objectively picture-improving "artifact" that only happens with CRTs.
>>106919290this isn't a trinitron-specific effect. it happens with any crt. like see >>106918800. that's a video of a common slot mask crt tv. the beam power affecting the width of the line is a property of crts in general, not what kind of colour mask it uses
>>106919664Tue but it's the most visible and clear on AGs since they have no vertical phosphor segmentation.With dot and slot masks the texture of the mask dominates in the picture...
>>106919720sure, it's more pronounced on trinitrons (or equivalents like diamondtrons made after the patent expired), as they have cleaner lines.
>>106918924LMAO!!!! KILL YOURSELF
>>106918924Ok fag, tell me where the reflections come from?
>>106918800Based
>>106918864modern shaders are really good actually. Yeah they're not perfect but im tired of you fags acting like they're not making a huge difference in accuracy compared to the raw pixels
>>106918800>>106919986Slot mask the best. Trannytroon is a fucking meme.

>>106920074>on a high resolution (4K+), high refresh rate (240Hz+) oled monitor could probably emulate a crt television pretty closely. right now just using a crt tv is more sensible, but it's nice to know there are options for the futureYeah, tested it to myself, it's pretty good. Personally I have a stockpile of CRTs to last for life but it's good to have alternatives.
>>106920219>>106920074Samefag
>>106920219
>>106920219it's a bummer most people don't seem to care about motion performance, like it's not something i see bought up outside of blurbusters... or /g/ crt threads.i could understand it from people who've never seen a crt before and just can't imagine non-blurry motion, but crt>lcd didn't happen overnight. it doesn't make sense. people can't be that blind, can they?ps. what monitor are you talking about? do they make 240Hz+ 4K oled monitors? i've only personally tried crt-royale on a 4k oled monitor at 60hz (before the beam simulator shader was made), and it looked great for stills. didn't do anything for motion of course, but it did look nice
>>106919996Mario if he fuzzy
>>106918891Nigger, this is literally 8bit vs 16bit
CRTs didnt even have scanlines or blur unless they were shitty TVsCRT computer monitors were literally clearer than LCDs
>>106920324I'm talking about CRT Beam Simulator on a 240Hz 4k OLED. As I said it's pretty good but no replacement for my CRTs.
So much detail is lost
>>106920370>CRT computer monitorsI have 15kHz CRT computer monitors that have obvious separated scanlines.
>>106920367no shit faggot m that's the joke. that's the typical cry fag

>>106920401PG32UCDM
>>106920406Retards. Just buy an OLED and slap the newest filters on the emulator. The games will look like CRT on steroids and can be dialed in
>>106920417neat, didn't know you could get monitors like that. will have to consider upgrading
>>106920407>there weren't dedicated computer monitors before VGA became the norm, aka before 31khz, i.e. 15-24khz.

Show me one (1) eroge that looks even remotely different on crt. Protip, you can't.
>>106920541no shit, he's trying to suggest that it's all just nostalgia/"what we imagined" type of thing
>>106920546oh? there's something newer? i don't keep up since i use crts. good to know
>>106920549What don't you like about it. I don't like how the zombies have the same style as the cronotrigger fake from earlier
>>106918924I will admit that chronotrigger would have been awesome if it looked like that at the time.
>>106920527Yeah and it's not even that good, still QD-OLED too. Sold mine a few months ago, using my C4 as my main monitor for PC, at least it has more uses than just high refresh gaming. Still using my CM8833-II and KV25X1E as my retro gaming CRTs. But it's nice to see there's development.
>>106920324LOLEvery pro rhythm gamer and smash player moved to lcd/led monitors years ago. Face it, At a certain point refresh rate matters more than motion clarity.
>>106920606yea absolutely, i'm by no means against something replacing crt's, but they have to be at least as good as crts first.i'm not oblivious to lcd's advantages of course, they're lighter, cheaper to make, larger screens, lower power, sharper, perfect geometry, etc. but this was all at the expense of image quality (except sharpness i suppose), which is a big downside considering we're talking about monitors, where image quality is or should be the first priority>>106920657for specific tasks perhaps, but responsiveness and motion performance are two completely different things
https://www.datagubbe.se/crt2/
>>106920694This is obvious and well known information to any CRTard.
>>106920688And I'm telling you on even the worst case games motion clarity is already good enough to make the low refresh rate of all crts the weakest factor. There simply isn't a game where crts are better.
>>106920758>There simply isn't a game where crts are better.you seem to be coming from a position of "high level play", and sure, high refresh rate is more important than most other metrics for this use-case. but i don't care about such high level/professional play.a 480Hz tn lcd being better for a counter-strike player doesn't really make me want to get one, since it won't make any of my games look better
>>106920827Yes, but then my secondary point. Modern games since UE4 and even more so UE5 have so much built in motion blur smearing cross many multiple frames that it's noticeably bad without any hi speed equipment
Fuck... Now I want to buy a CRT again.
>>106920859i don't play many newer games.i'll be clear in that i've never said a crt monitor is "better for gaming" as a blanket statement, there's certainly different kinds of games and goals that benefit more from one or another type of display.for older games, especially ones locked to 60Hz and lower resolutions, i don't think there's a question that crts are better for those, but for modern games it depends. perhaps you just wanted to call attention to that.
>>106918891no true scotsman only applies in morally ambiguous cases, reproducing cathode ray tube projection on a digital display is mechanico-objectively impossible
Old games suck, new games are way better and I'm not just talking about the graphicst. gen z that played old games
>>106920975"digital display" is ambiguous. displays are by definition an analog output device. it's like saying "digital speaker", the end result is analog information.there's nothing stopping someone from adding digital inputs to a crt (there even do exist crt hdtv's with hdmi input)i can only presume you mean displays with discrete pixels, but even then there was the unreleased SED, which used crt-like technology but with fixed pixels, is that "digital"?
>>106921014ok
>>106921014zoomers suck, and I'm not just talking about their shit opinions
>>106918891>>106918924>>106919996>>106920172>>106918800I don't understand what is the problem? I can see this on my OLED screen just fine. Should it only visible on CRT?
>get a top tier OLED>try HDR>notice that the arguments and style of posts shitting on CRT are very similar to the ones claiming OLEDs are bad and HDR doesn't make a difference>realize it's the same jeets on TN/VA panels from 2008 shitting on anything that they can't afford or can't find
>>106921111the moar you nootice>>106921093ignorance is bliss
>>106921111>>realize it's the same jeets on TN/VA panels from 2008 shitting on anything that they can't afford or can't findMostly this plus also people who don't actually use CRTs for /vr/ or play any /vr/.
>>106921139>Looks like shit, smells like, shit, well, it is shit. The CRT superior sprites are clearly visible on my OLED and looks exactly like CRT. I guess all you need is a filter/shader. Simple. Why do I need to buy a box firing electrons in my eyes?
sneed
>>106918800That strobing flicker is headache inducing, couple that with the high pitched whine those things emit I'm glad to have my smooth led monitor
>>106921111I have a top tier OLED monitor I still use SDR. I seriously couldn't see the difference between HDR and tonemapped HDR. I didn't even know what to look for exactly. My desktop looks hideous with HDR on. Some games look disgusting, though I agree color banding was gone. Calibrate for your display, then calibrate for games, keep calibrating. Fuck off.
Would little girls look better on a crt or an oled?
>>106921608Enjoy pwm
>>106921608You must be legally blind if you don't see the difference between SDR and HDR, or you're legally retarded and you think you can just turn on HDR, boot any game or movie, and it will instantly work. Actually just retarded, even the legally blind can still notice something as obvious as the huge spike in peak brightness. You need to enable HDR in your OS, then boot up a game that supports it, then enable it in that game (or use autoHDR, or RTXHDR, but considering you're too retarded to use normal HDR, I'd avoid that). Go play something like Path of Exile 2 with HDR and cast any lightning spell and tell me HDR doesn't make a difference.
>>106921670What difference am I supposed to see? Yes I am a retard. I need help.
>>106921636What is wrong with PWM?
>>106921793Color, but the easier to see is just brightness. Something like a lightning bolt in a game will be multiple times brighter (OLEDs generally have 1000nits on small areas) than in SDR. There is simply no way to not notice, the effect is strong enough to make a very noticeable difference even just looking around your room instead of at your screen because it will light things up 5x what SDR does.
>>106921873HDR sets the brightness to max which is annoying
>>106921903This>>106921873Why would I want to blind myself?
>>106921985>Why would I want to blind myself?Better not go outside then because the reflected sunlight in your third world shithole is a lot brighter than a 1000nit screen. Not that you could afford one.
I have three meme monitors just rotting away unused in my mom's house, zoomers will never have them.
>>106922088Sun is actually dimmer in the third world because of all the air pollution you cunt. By your diseased brain's logic, if there is a video of sun on the screen, it should be as bright. Did your father rape your mouth when your mother was birthing you?
>>106921903>>106921985Absolute retardation. You can even run HDR at sub-peak panel brightness for peak HDR.
>>106922259Tard
>>106922290Lower than panels actual peak brightness for peak HDR brightness for the content, if you want for some reason. Better?
>>106922226>Did your father rape your mouth when your mother was birthing you?>madarchod bitch youre father rape ur mother vagana bloody bastard?Despite you trying to clean up your insults to make them sound less brown, they make it obvious to any native English speaker that you're some form of fecaloid.
>>106919290filters do this too
>>106922321Clean up insults? Wtf are you talking about? Your father must have done the same to you too.
>>106922321>NOOO ZAAR PLEASE I AM JSUT LIKE YOU WE ARE EKUALL
>>106918814chat is this real
>>106920172Idk why crt fags are like this kek
>>106922479I know we ain't equal.
>>106922788Kek braaaaaaaapppppppppp
>>106921603Crt monitors don't have flicker and don't whine.
>>106918864No, but a lot of games do look better with them, or at least with scanlines.>>106918891I know you're trolling, but the difference does seem that severe for some games. I've taken to playing anything N64/PSX and earlier with CRT shaders and PS2 games with scanlines. Really does make a difference in the majority of cases.
>>106924098Even on my crt monitor I'll inject ntsc filters in any game I play at 480p. It legit just looks better at such a low resolution.
>>106924183I don't think it's the resolution so much as the graphics being designed for that kind of monitor and looking better with a CRT filter than without. I play PSX/PS2 games on 1080p/1440p/2160p, and they universally look better with a filter.
>>106924013They do whine but you can't hear it. I heard it as a kid. Don't hear it now. I can hear about 18khz too at nearly 40 years old, and at my age that's pretty fucking good, not sure how I can do it considering all the loud shit my ears have been exposed to. I don't know what frequency that whine is, but it must be super high.
>>106920172>monsters suddenly turn brown
>>106918784Because you can't show how good a screen is thru a worse screen.
>>106924897tv's have horizontal deflection yoke whine at 15.7kHz, pc monitors begin at 31kHz and only go up from there.i don't really hear my tv anymore, but even as a kid it never annoyed me. you could tell if a tv was on in another room, but it wasn't distracting
>>106924897>>106925575though i suppose, at the same time i grew up when everyone had crt tv's, so that sound was everywhere, i suppose it would be more jarring for a young person today who isn't used to it
>>106924897Anon crt monitors are 31khz, that's like 11khz above even a child's hearing. The thing you're thinking of is crt tv's which some adults cant hear.
CRT TV and CRT monitoris likeToyota vs ferrari
>>106925799Yea, I suppose my memories stem from tvs and not the monitors.
>>106918864>>106924098>>106924183>>106924843what are some good shaders/emulators that'll let me inject crt-like shit to make old games look better on a modern monitor? i know it'll never look as good as a real crt but i want options that dont include dumpster diving or paying out the ass
>>106918814>>106918837>>106922557this is the realest shit
>>106921573this is a great example, it's got a bit of everything to compare
>>106925979I bought a crt monitor for $40 from a thrift store so I couldn't tell you.
>>106920172oh no the jeff dunham post-9/11 psyop to get us to hate the muslims for the jews is attacking me
>>106920384redeem the AI upscaling saar
>>106925979For DuckStation, I use CRT-NewPixie. For PCSX2, I just use a basic scanline filter. For older systems on RA, just try different things in the "crt" folder in the shader menu and see what you like; I use different things on different machines for that depending on how powerful the GPU is.
