There's a specific technical reason (latency) for why Melee players prefer Sony Trinitron displays over anything modern.

Likewise, magicalhippo helped me understand the specific technical reason for why some people describe vinyls as being warmer. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22275611

Pixel art games probably are, see: https://i.imgur.com/NiYyjTP.jpg

I recently digitized videos from VHS tapes and noticed that they too looked much better on CRT than on a modern LCD. The source was equally poor in quality, but the experience somehow much better on a CRT.

CRTs are definitely superior for display lag (huge for competitive gamers), and also for retro gamers playing titles designed for CRTs' blurriness.
