> 1. Arbitrary resolutions
Consult the dot pitch of your monitor for the actual resolution. Everything is “scaled” to that resolution. Of course, the algorithm is physics, which is much better than cubic interpolation, so it does look slightly better, but a modern hidpi lcd will provide a higher dot pitch and thus a sharper, more accurate picture.
- speeder 6y agoThat is exactly my point, CRT don't scale things, monochrome CRT can even draw pure vector graphics, having "infinite" resolution.
- mnw21cam 6y agoWhen do you ever see a monochrome CRT these days? I had one mumble years ago as my second screen. It was really nice.
- noisem4ker 6y agoColor CRTs do have something akin to a native resolution too, defined by the phosphor arrangement, so they do "scale" things. It just happens that the scaling is naturally blurry and artifacts aren't noticeable.
