An impressive effort has been made to replicate the exact appearance of old CRT televisions on modern LCD and OLED panels. The page I’ve linked is very well written.

    Oh I love the nostalgia of it all of course. But we couldn’t wait to get rid of CRTs at the time is all. Such is life

      I remember throwing out a Sony trinitron with my Dad when we got our first LCD. The thing must have weighed 80kg. It sat on the verge for God knows how long before it disappeared.

      This would have been about 20 years ago. What a mistake.

      Then again… I remember my folks throwing out or donating my old computers (C64, Amiga 1000, 500, 600). War crimes, I sez.

      I keep harping on this, but this is a massive regret - sure they were bulky and power hungry, but I would sell a kidney (not necessarily mine) to be able to buy a modern CRT to enjoy my old PS1 light gun games (Pount Blank, Ghoul Panic, Rescue Shot, Time Crisis etc.) again.
