At last! The prophecy was true!

If what you are saying is true, that would mean that all emulators do that, and that an emulated game would look bad on a CRT TV. Hm... That's something to think about...

I have arisen from the dead.

I still have a CRT television for my old game systems, but these "show how bad LCD/LED" images are misleading at best. The real problem is that whatever program is converting the images is condensing multiple pixels into ONE. You can see this easily by looking at the woman's eye in both images. It is 6 (or 3..) pixels of gradient color in the CRT image, being converted to only pixels of BLACK in the other image. So... the problem is not new TVs as much as shitty conversion software. What I mean is the original image is at least double the dpi as the converted one. That would make anything look bad...

Thank you for signaling your continued survival! Your games are one of the few remaining joys I have in this life, keep on brother!

I bought Command & Conquer Red Alert Remastered. In the game, you can easily switch between the old (designed for CRT) graphics and modern (designed for LED/LCD and dedicated GPUs) graphics. This post really makes me want to break out one of my old CRT monitors and try the game on that.

Seeing the difference between CRT and LCD makes me wish I could play these games as god intended (mostly for the family friendly education).

Always happy to hear from you, Akabur! It means more family friendly content and an exciting crowd of people to hang with!

Well, what's better than an Aladdin's game on this source of educational content to learn more about CRT vs modern TV? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfWSrBNs7Bc But if you have one article to read (apart of Akabur's monday updates) it's this one : https://vgdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/179656817318/designing-2d-graphics-in-the-japanese-industry Maybe sometimes in the futur people will buy old lcd or oled tv to play Akabur's games tthe way it was intended to be played in 2023!
