Fair play, people's preferences are ultimately a subjective thing

I would say when it's done properly it genuinely looks like the devs have found resolution that doesn't exist in the image

Here's a good example that I think demonstrates it clearly (though this is a real deal CRT in this image versus the kind of filters I'm talking about in this thread, though the goal is the same effect)

    Oh, don’t get me wrong. I give them credit for being able to make the pixel art look much better than was intended, but I think my brain fills in the detail without wanting a filter to do it. Or I have yet to see a filter that is as good as a CRT and I’m not about to go out and buy one to get that experience.
