Actual scanlines from a crt make shit look great. Emulated scanlines on an lcd just look fucking retarded.

>>388944660
No, they don't. Do you really think people were happy with shitty image quality back then? Like we were all sitting around saying "oh golly gee, i love how blurry and distorted my tv looks."

>>388944660
This. The stripey bright glow of those crt scans really activates the almonds, triggering the release of dopamine.

>>388944830
It was the unavoidable side effect of building a digital image on an analog display. Analog video formats looked fine on crt and by the time DVD came about things like interleaving were a thing which also helped improve digital image quality.

In fact CRT scanlines were gone by the time the SNES came out unless you played it on an old tv set.

Fuck off. Go and look at neo geo arcade machines. They look gorgeous with the scan lines and the glow.

No, scanlines are a distortion. At best they are something that can be worked around. They are not and never were a positive feature.

no it's ugly af

>>388944660
This. Anyone on /v/ who plays anything from 6th-gen or older should own a CRT.

Itt: people who can't raster.

Full-blown CRT filters? Yeah. Just the scanlines? Fuck no.

Agreed, I love how Samus's visor glows on Super Metroid. It's like HDR.

I'd rather see sharp sprites, to be honest.

I like real scanlines, not whatever the fuck that is in your image.

>>388943740
On a real CRT yeah scanlines are fine. On a LCD there has to be some real effort put in to make it look right. See the crt-royale shader for Retroarch or the CRT-sharp filter for Sonic Mania.

>hey i think scan lines look good
>NO YOU DON'T SCAN LINES ARE AN OBJECTIVELY BAD FEATURE YOU LITERALLY CAN NOT HOLD THAT OPINION BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG
I'm sorry you had to be born with aspergers.

>>388946567
Too bad retroarch is such a buggy piece of shit that isn't unusable these days.

>>388943740
Yes i like scanline filters over a unfiltered image. Any filter + scanlines is cancer though.

It's part of the medium and was considered when the games were designed so I feel like something's missing when they aren't there.

No, they look retarded for me. I don't want to go back to crt either, so I use NTSC shaders. They trigger my nostalgia and don't hurt my eyes.

I enjoy it. If you enjoy scanlines or crt, that's great too.

There is something about CRT I just can't explain. I remember playing WoW for hours and it was responsive as Barry Allen and the colors were something else.

no, razor sharp pixels or bust

>>388943740
Scanlines is just a part of what makes retro games look great on CRTs. There are many other components such as glow and other technicalities.

If you just plat artificial scanlines on a picture it looks horrible.

>>388947184

You think they thought there was an alternative?
In 30 years someone will say something about anti aliasing or something and the same idiot will respond with

>>388948971
why does zelda have his erect dick out

>emulator tinkers make scanlines/CRT filters that look the same as the original stuff
>autists get triggered despite it looking the same

I turn them on and off when I feel like it because I think it's nice to see things in different visuals.
