    The art that fuels our nostalgia was never meant to be viewed on modern HD displays. What's the right way to update history? Inspired by Square's new Final Fantasy "pixel remasters," my big feature on CRTs and the fight over what to do with old pixels: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj83yp/final-fantasy-remasters-reignite-controversies-over-pixel-art …pic.twitter.com/PIU5aZRC5K

        I've wanted an excuse to profile the @CRTpixels account ever since it made me realize old school pixel art was specifically drawn with CRT technology in mind. Glad I finally got the chance.

        For the first time in ages I plugged my genesis in using composite and wow, dithering really does work to fake transparency sometimes. You absolutely cannot tell this isn't transparency. pic.twitter.com/ucA7400m2z

        Weirdly, as a kid who couldn't afford that many games, especially not expensive SNES RPGs, I'm actually more attached to the cleaner FF6 I emulated on a PC CRT than to the sprites trying to be like the soft TV CRT 😭

        As someone who played Sonic 3 on multiple Genesis models and on the old PC port I have complicated feelings on this issue (and only VERY recently have come to find, say, scanline filters I don't hate completely)

        As someone who used a CRT far, far later than most people, I can say with certainty that these articles (and almost all filters intended to replicate the supposed effect) drastically exaggerate the difference. CRTs varied and high-quality ones didn't produce that ugly blur.

        using a CRT very late and having a really nice one is not how most people experienced a CRT!

        I feel like the gold standard is Sega Ages CRT vintage mode, it even has warping at the corners and almost gives the monitor this pseudo 3d feelpic.twitter.com/TTufyn9pvI

        On the 3DS, the effect was more than just "pseudo" 3D :) But it's a tradeoff between "3D world but perfect pixels" and "accurate pixels in a 3D tube screen".
