... Dracula's eyes still look like two red pixels. I guess my crt isn't crt enough. Maybe if I smear some Vaseline all over it.

But in all seriousness, still not sure how I feel. Something seems different about the visuals, and it is nostalgic. I might try to change up my setup to use it as a second display, but I think if I had fallen for the hype and spent $100+ on one of these, I would have been very disappointed.

Today's crt filters on modern displays is more than enough for fun effects, but I would never characterize any of this as objective improvements.

Late reply but: since the mega drive I always gamed in RGB because it was the better picture quality. So beginning there I always saw pixels, crt style. The sonic waterfall was not transparent and other things like that but yeah, it depends.
