Vintage games weren't designed to look as sharp as we are used to seeing them on HDTVs," Starkweather said. Excitement for new tech was a big part of the shift toward LCDs, Jordan Starkweather told me when I spoke to him for this piece, but that wasn't the whole answer.

Gaming-focused upscaling devices that improve the look of retro games on your flat screen—like the OSSC and Framemeister, or Analogue's FPGA consoles——provide options like scanlines in an attempt to replicate the feeling of playing on a CRT, but they can't match the original experience. Most people think of CRTs as useless, unwanted space-wasters that you couldn't pay someone to take away.Don't worry if you don't have room (or back strength) for a 160lb 32" set, a 13" or 20" works great. The player's brain fills in the rest, creating an experience unique to the hardware, and is often the reason why you’ve ever been disappointed with the visuals in a retro game and wondered why it felt like it looked better in your head.

No doubt nostalgia has a lot to do with that, but the characteristics of a CRT also look completely different from the types of screens we're so used to.

Many would argue that CRTs are the absolute best way—some would go so far as to say the only way—to play retro video games the way the developers intended,” said Carlson's colleague at My Life in Gaming, Marc Duddleson.
