CRTs are hard to get.
What's the best option for getting CRT effects on various games? Retroarch shaders for emulators, and Reshade for everything else?
Does anyone have any amazing CRT filters?
What performance impact do CRT filters have on modern games? I.e what would be the hit of applying one to Cyberpunk?

They aren't that hard to get, you just have to believe in yourself and put in a days effort. You'll come home with your dream 25"+ component equipped CRT that'll make all your games look and play like heaven and sound great too.
Meet some old people, they're usually lonely and tend to have old tech they don't want. Keep mentioning their TV of you want it and eventually they'll let you have it. Feel free to ghost after you get what you want.
How are they hard to get? Just go on craigslist or offerup. Old people usually sell this shit without noticing how much they are getting rid of. Retrogays are the cancer buying them up and reselling at high prices. I also see retrogay store owners visiting goodwill/thrift stores every day in the morning to resell old crap. Frick these people.
Yeah I enjoyed retro collecting in the early 2000s, it pretty quickly went to shit. I don't bother anymore, haven't for over a decade probably.
i hate those Black folk so much, pawn shops got cleaned out in 2013/2014 of old N64 and snes shit because of these Black folk buyign them and then listing on ebay or their own stores for far more
Filters are the troony equivalent of games. It will never be a real CRT.
>using crt filters on modern games
are you moronic?
I'm more curious about the frame time implication. Emulators already have a lot of delay.
a bad shader would ruin your fps anyways and cause slow down to a point where sound would be laggy anyways
so unless your computer is hot dog shit it doesnt really matter
but if you really want to know what the best shader is
NTSC Crt-royale which you can find in the presets folder
I've just been using CRT-Royale, but I've noticed watching videos that it's not quite right on stuff like Sonic.
Are shaders really that heavy? Damn.
Normal CRT-Royale isn't the same as ntsc crt-royale
CRT-Royale only emulates the actual crt
ntsc emulates the signal blur and color bleeding
it's rare for someone to attempt and sell a CRT because they are legitimate e-waste though you can find a mountain of them at the local dump anywhere in the world.
and you wouldn't even take one for free
you can get the same effect using a crt shader through retroarch and a decent fricking tv
i always get a giggle when these little dinky ones get flaunted around, get the big ones if you want something nice to look at
have you tried driving around a neighbourhood during garbage day?
you'll find an crt
idk if it's good, i bought 6 new in box a few years ago and never have to do that shit
I'm not in the US. People got rid of these things ages ago here.
it's the same in america too the only people holding onto crts are millennial homosexuals and mexicans not even grandpas
in america's homosexual hat i see crts at least weekly on the side of the road
>CRTs are hard to get
No OP, all you need to do is be a good boy and wish for one.
Get a 120hz OLED
Enable Black Frame Insertion
Enjoy your better than CRT experience
I wish lol oled is a meme at the moment until it is actually affordable but I'm more likely to get a QLED in the future
my crt broke last week, it fricking sucks.
Crts aren't hard to get. Your problem is there's a ton of fricking dogshit crts out there. The professional video editing crts that actually look good are hard to get.
most pvms are shit because the TVL is so high that in interlaced mode you can notice a severe flicker, not to mention most were run into the ground with very long hours
all to get an unnatural line separation
what you want is a low hour late-model regular tv, ideally something small that you can carry yourself, could even just have composite seriously it looks good on a crt
this. the whole professional crt thing is on a whole different tier of meme compared to just getting a standard crt. I have a small 13" or so made in 2004 that looks great, and only has composite inputs. unless youre an absolute enthusiast who is planning on using it ALL the time, there is no reason to shell how hundreds of dollars for a slightly better picture. especially if its a small size anyways
>search crt on craigslist
>bunch of listings from soi ridden millennials talking about good it is for retro gayming
>charging 10x their value and wont help you lift the tv if its heavy
>search old tv on craigslist
>bunch of listings from old, retired boomers cleaning their garages
>free, or super cheap. will also help you carry it to your car
really not that hard
Enjoy your worn to shit monitor.
