Product Information

Before you start thinking CRTs are all about video games old enough to be nostalgic for high school, Digital Foundry has a series of videos exploring how modern games can benefit from CRT technology. Like those glasses, it smooths out the experience, hides the flaws, and fills us with all the warm fuzzies we crave when we boot up our favorites. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.

The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.Even just five years ago, only the most ardent retro gamers were interested in gaming on CRTs, but the audience has grown tremendously over the past few years, and demand has risen accordingly. Scanlines (the gaps between the 240 lines) help separate the raw pixels, and the phosphor glow gives the image punch, making the scanlines appear thinner in brighter areas of the screen. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
