# with its quirks wobble warping and texture popping scanline blooming gap and slew distortion accurately reproducing such effects with software is complicated and activating more phosphor surface area can be tricky for new researchers thankfully however no consensus about what constitutes a good recreation of crt screens exists this actively helps researchers to be reminded of the near-future return of golden era of playspaces in which they were starting to mature ha unlike researchers themselves a space where arcades are becoming popular and 3d visuals on home consoles are only getting started in which most exciting potential use case for this rnd scenario seems to take lag free hdmi to component converter to connect custom firmware enabled screen to fga powered teleportal device thereby introducing few landmark sharp scale hacks to one's nearest-neighbour integer scale accomplishments thereby bridging that retro console feel with automatic optimal phase algorithms producing the sharpest image with zero adjustments needed beyond ideological bass mode selection more detail is not always better as the spot profile of the electron beam is roughly the gaussian width of this spot measured at full width half the maximum of its spatial luminance profile being greater than the immediate addressable region therefore disregarding spatial distribution of light power across each moment of one's daily rnd routine seems a mistake continuous tone images are best reproduced with a certain degree of overlap between conceptual pixels of one's scientific day yes sharpness is reduced yes pixel structure is made less visible and the overall image quality is improved as blending light between adjacent researchers in ir labs contain colour and luminance that's intermediate between ir addressed values as researchers of 'big science' thus the smoothing artefact produced by a crt mindset is advantageous for those who value such artefacts in certain contexts such as continuous tone images produced by spatially integrating light information across small regions of the screenic / scenic eye whether all this is mere flare of light in darkness or yet another great clomping foot of retro playspace hyper-nerdism remains to be seen - as in predictable attacks by the retro playspace undead also known as pixel junkies occurring sometime next week in megacities near you no doubt // republic of bob
