That's clearly from Sonic Mania, which is just under 4 years old.
>3D games look bad and they need remasters to hold
That's certainly an opinion.

>Composite and a CRT is all you will ever need for playing old games
Certainly works for me.

He's right though. This was taken in a dark room where the only source of light was the CRT itself. You can very clearly see the slot mask all over the set, and the areas around the brightened sections are illuminated to the point of being grey. Look to the right of the text box, and note how bright that is, before hitting true black which is where the slot mask ends in the tube.

You're going to see this on every SD CRT in person. Can a CRT display "better blacks" if nothing is being displayed at all? Of course, but that's never something you're going to see when playing vidya. Something will always be on the screen, and if something is on the screen, light is going to reflect off the glass and illuminate the surrounding mask, and that may end up giving you subjectively worse black levels than an LCD screen.

It depends on the camera, the settings, and how lucky you get with the shot. For example, this one looks exactly like it does in person, at least when viewed on my current display.

>I can't be assed to make crt royale not look like a nightmare on a 1080p display
It's not too difficult. My 1080p royale presets are pretty well received in shader threads. Stock royale definitely looks bad at 1080p, I can't dispute that, but with a little bit of work, you can get some really nice results.
>what setup?
An rpi 3b+ using a zune cable to output composite to an sd crt.

Thanks anon! I really should take more pictures one of these days, but it's difficult to get a shot of such a bright screen without mangling the colors.

Based. Playstation + Composite is an aesthetic match made in heaven.

Cuckchan doesn't downscale images or distort them in any way.

You won't see them on slot mask sd tvs.

That looks horrible, why would you do this anon?
