A place to discuss Cathode Ray Tube displays, especially with respect to retro (and modern) gaming. Upscalers, cabling, homebrew software, and related analog technology discussions are also encouraged!

I don't miss the 60Hz flicker, one little bit.

For me, the flicker looks fine in games... and less fine in primarily-white screens like game loading screens or computer desktops. I've read conflicting information over whether TVs had longer persistence than monitors.
