Not sure if you played on a CRT in the past, but nonetheless it’s interesting how different things looked. Here is my favorite example.
How tf does one red pixel get blurred into like 20 wide, but only like 4 tall? That seems sus
I'm with you. This doesn't seem right. I know CRTs have an anti-aliasing effect, but this seems to have increased detail. Look at his ascot, for example. It seems to have more detail than the image on the left.
I don’t see any detail I can’t find in the sharp image. Except for the off screen stuff at the very top and bottom, since CRT pixels aren’t perfectly square and who ever made this image decided to fit by width. Nonetheless there are countless more example online and videos dedicated to this on youtube. Highly recommend :)
Yeah, I think you're right. The one on the left is stretched and has fewer pixels vertically than the right one, so it isn't showing quite the same thing.
