integer scaling on a CRT, come on

>>7403682
Pixel perfect or CRT filter, bilinear is too blurry for me.

It baffles me that there are people who think bilinear is acceptable in any way

>>7403713
It comes as the default graphics option on many emulators so most people don't bother to mess with it, thus getting used to it and eventually preferring it

crt filter on a real crt monitor

You know you can just use a horizontal interpolation filter to clear up pixel sizing artifacts without having to blur the fucking out of it with bilinear

>>7403682
Pixel perfect. No point in emulation if I can play on real hardware and CRT otherwise.

>>7403682
Friendly reminder that bilinear interpolation is the only filter that actually looks like a CRT when you look at one in real life. photos can't capture them correctly. and no, not some PVM / Trinitron bullshit, i'm talking about the shitty magnetbox you actually had

>>7403682
sharp bilinear

>>7403765
But I actually had a Sony trinitron as a kid tho. Still owned it up until last year.

>>7403765
or you know the hundreds of CRT filters out there that more accurately depict various CRT video signals
Literally tvout alone has like 4-5 composite, s video and rgb configurations each

No filters, no point in doing that shit. At all.

>>7403682
I grew up with CRTs and I still prefer bilinear to integer or CRT shaders.

>>7403682
Pixel Perfect

>>7403682
The left looks more like how it looked on a tube tv back in the day, the screens were curved and they were fuzzy

>>7403682
CRT shaders sitting 6-7 feet from the screen

I usually prefer pixel perfect with maybe the NTSC filter... but I like the scale4x filter, too.

>>7403765
Bull fucking shit.

>>7403765

>>7403682
integer ratio scaling with modest scalines

>>7403765
You have a shit connection then, or maybe shuts shitty eyesight

>>7403682
My actual preference is slight linear blur on both axis. The hard pixels look nice in some games but otherwise they feel grating on the eyes.

XBRz 2x + bicubic

Excess filtering and excess blur look like trash. Using a bit of both keeps them from overwhelming the image.

For Mesen-S, I use a Philips 107E CRT PC monitor, interger scaling, and a RGB TV filter preset that re formats to 4:3.

>>7403682
>Pixel perfect
Unless you're playing in windowed 1x or 2x, never. There's a reason everyone is trying to figure out a nice filter.

4:3, sharp bilinear

bilinear on a flat screen looks too blurry. On a CRT monitor running 640x480 though, it looks great.

>>7403765
my father was fucking autistic about sony in the 90's/00's, we had an expensive as fuck audio setup and of course, all our TVs/PC monitors were Trinitron

that's why i grew up with playstation i think

>>7403765
>Friendly reminder that bilinear interpolation is the only filter that actually looks like a CRT
This is bait.

>>7403682
bilinear filtering is the absolute shittyest filtering method that has ever existed. I do not even understand why emulators offer it as an option is looks like complete ass.

>>7403682
The same people that love bilinear interpolation are the same that love antialiasing

>>7403682
CRT shader.

>>7408369
which shader is that?

>>7408389
crt royale

>>7403765
I wouldn't say it looks like a CRT TV, but it's definitely closer to one than integer scaling.

>>7408369
This looks like a CRT up close. But CRT up close looked uglier than LCD without shaders

>>7408407
looks way better than crt royale on my system
jealous

>>7408527
Great, now here’s another type of CRT

>>7408571
I hear that CRT Royale looks much better if you have a 4k monitor. 1080p doesn't quite cut it.

>>7408698
The higher the resolution the better with these shaders.
If I recall correctly, the guy who made CRY Royal said that you'd need around an 8k monitor to fully make a LCD look like a CRT visually.

>>7403682
s-video

>>7408878
Literally everything looks better then bilinear

>>7403738
holy mother of based

>>7403682
Pixel perfect because I got used to looking at sprite art backin the day

>>7403682
Bilinear looks like smeared shit my dude
