   I thought the Macbook Pro LCDs were bright enough, high-res-enough, and fast enough to make a very accurate CRT simulation. Here it is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;baragona&#x2F;crt-xdr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;baragona&#x2F;crt-xdr

   It looks so much like a CRT to me. It looks like pressing your face up to a TV to see the individual phosphors. Try setting &quot;signal&quot; to dropped image and viewing some images. It looks like an old TV.

   Bottom line, whatever you think a CRT is doing, you can probably simulate it quite accurately.

      You can’t simulate the motion clarity of CRTs (yet).

         You don&#x27;t want to simulate the god-awful flicker my CRT has at 60Hz.

            The flicker is fine, especially with 240p and 480p.
