I’ve heard quite a few times that old games were made for CRT TVs, and that they look a lot better on them because of the effect. But, in the few re-releases of old games I’ve seen, the CRT filters included are simply disregarded as “bad”. With CRTs becoming more and more rare, is it really so hard, or even impossible, to recreate something faithful?
In: Technology
Sure, it would be possible to make something more faithful, but it would be very expensive. When a 4K display can be $200, there really isn’t a demand for a $2000 high brightness beam penetration color display. You could come quite close with a high brightness projector in a cabinet, maybe a $500 gadget, but you’re going to have to make your own lenses because the factory lens is for an outdoor video wall and it won’t focus down on the cabinet screen.
