>you can have it however the hell you want it and as big as you can afford
I still prefer CRTs but I concede this. maybe some day i'll get sick of 20-32 inch limitations...or they'll just die.
I wanna do the CRT Emudriver thing with an old ass Radeon, but it seems like a huge pain in the ass to set-up
Not to mention my mobo has a stupid-ass PCI layout so I gotta get a riser if I wanna have two GPUs in
>play games literally any way I want >virgin incels on /vr/ get uncontrollably mad and have a seething, hissing, spitting fit over it
It's truly incredible. It's like I've been gifted a super power, I can make people irrationally angry just by posting an image. The ability to slay life losers with a thought.
Not a good shader, bro. >dim, especially whites >looks like bilinear filtering (no pixel definition) with a screen door mesh overlaid
Is this a false flag to make us shader/OLED gays look bad?
The OP pic just looks like I forgot to put glasses on.
I played through SotN just a few weeks ago on a real CRT and it looked infinitely better.
Having used actually good shaders on a 4k OLED, I would never choose the shaders over an actual CRT, but they at least don't look this bad.
>I prefer an imitation over the real thing
A copy can never surpass the original. And OLEDs were never meant to be like CRTs. And no retro game was ever made with OLED in mind.
In order to play "the original" you need to be a small child in the 1980s/90s. You can't do that so you'll never recapture the "original experience" of enjoying a video game. You put absurd, obsessive amounts of importance on irrelevant mechanics out of a cultism that will never actually improve your gaming enjoyment. You get irrationally upset like your religion has been insulted when someone plays a game "the wrong way", which shows you have no emotional attachment to the GAMES themselves, only a fake sense of personality that comes from claiming you make the correct propitiations and thus deserve to be a high priest of your imaginary god.
I'm being very serious, I genuinely believe you either have serious emotional/development problems or are on the cusp of developing them. I hope you can find help in time before you utterly destroy yourself with this fixation. There are many, many more important things in life than whether you play a game on some arbitrary hardware.
>A copy can never surpass the original.
non-sequitur and patently false.
Literal music and cinema have proven you incorrect. Often absurdly so given better production and things like better acting. Originals aren't always better - not even in the technical world.
Frick, I don't even bust out original hardware, I keep it in a box because emulation is just better overall with more pros and less cons than the original hardware.
>A copy can never surpass the original
And retro homosexuals are playing on sony PVMs while 99% of all people back in the 80s and 90s played on normal CRT TVs.
Remember when the video production industry dumped videotape and standard def and moved to HD monitors and dumped a bunch of nice SD CRTs on the second-hand market and you missed out? Yeah, that was a shame.
There are pros and cons. It's not exactly the same, but it's fine. That being said - even if it weren't whatever, play how you want to play that has no bearing on the objectivity of the quality. A preference is a preference not a fact about a thing.
OLEDs are good - they have better contrast than most CRTs do, especially for Televisions. Monitors had better blacks than TVs, but both were actually more of a really really dark grey that you could even see at night as the phosphors lit up.
The pixel layout on OLEDs is worse than CRTs though and the native resolution is a problem under certain resolutions but native resolutions look good.
OLEDs have less blooming and no geometry distortion which is way better than CRTs (well, blooming is sometimes kind of nice - but it's technically accurate)
The biggest issue is just OLEDs are more expensive and suffer from burn-in hard, comparable to even the worst of old monochrome CRTs but in color, so the quality of the display will degrade "relatively" quickly based on cumulative usage. Really, at this point that burn in shit is a bit too quick honestly. I've had CRTs burn in five years of usage even in the early 2000s, but even OLEDs can put that to shame with similar usage as I had and that's when CRTs were like 300-500 bucks for their size. OLEDs at similar size cost a frick ton still to the point it's not really practical for consumers. Maybe one day they'll get there, it ain't now though. Similar to how LCD displays are at the point they're actually use-ably decent for more emails (and arguably not even great at that either), and that took like three decades.
In general, it'll definitely start out with many advantages over traditional CRTs, but it won't stay that way - but the tech may eventually develop to that being preferential one day. I expect improving QLEDs will eventually win out though due to cost and longevity.
Reminder that the limiting factor for CRT shaders is no longer the shaders themselves, but the display. Sure, you can get something pleasing on even a basic b***h 1080p monitor, but if you actually want it to look close to authentic, you need as much resolution and brightness as possible. The greater the resolution, the better and more accurate the mask and scanline emulation can be. The brighter the display, the less you have to rely on tricks like lowering mask strength or adding artificial bloom, glow or halation. A sufficiently bright display will, with the help of HDR, naturally produce these things, just like a CRT would. The final touch is, of course, strobing, which produces CRT-like motion. Currently, however, a display that can do all these things is prohibitively expensive. To get full mask and scanline emulation AND strobing at the same time while still keeping sufficient brightness, you need a display that can push something like 2500 nits or thereabouts, possibly more. Very few can get close to this. At best most HDR-capable displays can do one or the other, but not both without dimming the image considerably.
I prefer no shaders on any screen that isn't a CRT. Even as a kid not knowing there would ever be other options I utterly despised CRTs
Must be an N64 joke
Yes, I use a 3x scale of 240p and let my TV figure it out from there with no filteres involved.
just like the good old days
Ahh just like I remember
Lookin good.
ahh not a crumb of dither to be seen as nature intended
Or you could just play it with proper color depth.
Silent Hill 1 looks upscaled better than on a CRT.
I do too because you can have it however the hell you want it and as big as you can afford, But crts are still cool

This looks like a pile of piss
>his piss is at least partially solid and forms piles
are you a bird or something?
yes and I pissed and shidded all over OP’s OLED
>suggest you don't need a crt
>reseller scum pours in to cry about it
every fricking time lmao
>teenage larpers post their imaginary versions of what they think games were supposed to look like
Why use the curvature thing on a flat screen though. It just looks dumb.
The shaders certainly look miles better compared to use on an LCD that is for sure.
You're taking a cell phone picture instead of using some kind of hardware to capture stills/footage so they both look like shit.
>look like shit.
Yes one is a crt.
The CRT one looks "better" in that image but mostly because it's not a 4:3 image stretched out to fit widescreen resolution.
The other screen isn't stretched.
Is your CRT out of whack? It's blurry as frick.
It isn't a PVM.
Is it a composite only model?
The S video is used for something else.

overlays were a mistake
at least it's not emuvr
This looks like complete fricking garbage.
But good on you anon.
That looks frickin good though
Shader name?
>I posted bait
>you mean people respond to bait?
I don't know what the point of posting that image is supposed to be since I don't have an OLED monitor to view it on.
Not a good shader, bro.

>on a real CRT
what CRT?
Played it on a Toshiba 14AF44 with a PS2 and component out.
I only feel this way with composite shaders, only way to play NES games as intended
Thought I'd chime in with an example a LITTLE less shithouse.
Cool.
I like the CRT blurriness on some games, especially SotN but, to be honest I don't give a shit about shaders and CRTs anymore.
>load up crtroyalewithcheese

yep. its gaming time

why are french people like this?
