Yabut my 15 inch CRT looks great on a desk.As someone who actually does this (have a rt4x and a high end OLED just for this) you're completely correct. I spent more time fine-tuning my presets for different games + console + CRT feel than actually playing games and never came as close to the CRT as much as I wanted.
HOWEVER
Consider that the average CRT you can get today would still be close to the price of the aforementioned if you wanted something better than a shitbox out of a dumpster. Which would be 15' AT MOST, and would need at this point at least recapping and realignment. That's if you're lucky and the tube isn't delaminating. That's not taking into account the storage, weight and other things people conveniently forget about CRTs.
At the end of the day even though it's not perfect CRT emulation, and it does take time and money, I know I'm right, because I can boot up a PS1 game on my setup, show it off to normies and they'll comment that it looks very good or that they wished they had a setup like that cause it looks fun.
And I get to have a 65' screen instead of a 15' one
And while I've seen some really nice trashpicked screens, I actually bought all mine brand new for cheap before people caught on to these things so no issues with caps (made in 2008 if you can believe it) or alignment, and I don't feel like the 5 other CRTS I have (that I also got brand new) take up all that much space.
One of my fav games, I have a near complete collection of Puyo Puyo Tsuu releases, only ones I'm missing are the Macintosh release and the arcade PCB.Does anyone here like the Puyo Puyo games? I was just playing Super Puyo Puyo a little while ago.
