Just a late edit:

My favorite thing to watch on CRT displays is well produced SD programs. They look really good.

At the peak of SD, I had tuned a great Sony to near what a PVM can do. Watching DVD movies on that via RGB OR component in a dark room was a good experience. Huge dynamic range. The occasional trail from a bright entity in the program. Real black.

In many ways, many of us did not experience what was lost in the tech change. This revival makes sense in some ways.

Look at vinyl. It is a similar thing. The overall experience is really good. Gratifying.

Fact is, where there are limits, there is art. A great vinyl production is something I appreciate a lot. A similar one done digitally actually sounds better, but the art is not there.

The CRT is art. We had limits and the CRT bubbles up out of that just nailing it.
