Anyone have any advice for getting PCSX2 to replicate the "CRT effect" well?

[Kestrel]

Plenty of games look very nice and crisp at a higher resolution, but a part of me wishes I could replicate the visual effect of playing them at 480p on a CRT television. I've fiddled around the settings a bit on my own, but haven't really come across anything that works particularly well in this regard. Anyone have any advice for me?

i feel like getting a REAL CRT screen is the best way

I have 2 CRT tv's right now, I haven't found any filters that perfectly make me forget I'm using an HDTV. The biggest difference is how great rendered background graphics look (like FF7 and chrono cross) .... and then maybe how vibrant the colors are....but I find myself using CRT Lottes if emulating the most and with the least fiddling.

its a maybe a little too clean, almost like a CRT computer monitor ...but I find alot of the more accurate ones with interference etc. are a bit too ghetto ... if I"m watching an old TV show or movie rather than gaming and the quality is already bad I tend to want a more aggressive filter than hides the defects of the video compression. But I hated bad quality of VHS/TV/DVD growing up ... its really only games that ever looked good on CRT TVs

pcsx2 only has a few built in options, i recommend using shaderglass.
