Message: [QUOTE="The_Real_Thing, post: 170327, member: 3978"] After using RF adapters and other jank on very old consoles as a kid (coax connection or those awful U-shaped ones you tightened screws on), and then using composite 3-wire on later ones, playing through an actual monitor with VGA or better was kind of mind-blowing. No snow, no ghosting bs. The only reason I have a very cheap, non-Sony CRT now is for lightgun games (yes, there are newer guns for modern sets, don't have one yet). I honestly find swearing by CRT shaders or actual CRTs to be cringey in equal measure. Couldn't care less about the iNTenDeD ExPErieNcE or any of that crap. I get that games back then were made to cater to shitty consumer grade TV sets, and the technical arguments for this weird retro-fetish. I was there in the flesh, and I can tell you it was not all it is cracked up to be. Perhaps this is why nowadays I use xBRZ filters with IMPUNITY, and if such is unavailable and somehow HQ4X isn't either, I smear vaseline on the screen until I see as few pixels as possible. In short, no. [/QUOTE]
