Are CRTs actually kind of a meme? I recently got one for the first time in about 20 years.
The only thing really good is the motion clarity, but it's pretty subtle and not immediately noticeable on a lot of games. The glow that illuminates the room at night is comfy too but that's it. The graphics I could take or leave. Playing SNES mini on my LCD with scanlines looks just as good, and in some ways better because of no geometry issues. I also can't help but notice the sound is better. Maybe my CRT speakers are just aging or something.
I don't know. Using a CRT is fun but it just feels like I'm clinging to the past. After going so many years without one, it doesn't blow my mind as much as I thought it would.
Anyone else?
