With the RetroTINK 4k and a good 4K HDR tv I think it might be good enough to emulate the CRT look. LinusTechTips did a video on it on YouTube and its really amazing how good it loonks.

It falls apart immediately in motion sadly. Though if combined with BFI/strobing it can indeed get “close”.

Source: I have a house full of CRTs and am continually trying to move away from them as I know I can’t keep them going forever (I can do basic repairs). I have a collection of consumer TVs, VGA monitors and broadcast monitors I use currently, including a 21” trinitron that still sits on my desk.

My endgame for “close enough” will be a reasonably size 4k oled with like 60hz strobe which will cover a large enough portion of legacy content.

I had a trinitron in the 90s and absolutely loved it. I would love to get another one, but it’s quite pricey and I’m worried about keeping it running.
