Cool-Retro-Terms white noise effect is amazing for legibility. In screenshot, meh, but in action it makes reading much easier on my eyes. The readability improvements from my filter setup is so great that I use CRT on my mac despite the insane number of compromises (no tabs, crashes now and then, copy and paste is strange, limited scrollback, latency measured in who knows how many 100s of ms).
Other similar programs don't have the same type of white noise effect, they don't improve legibility at all.
- the_cat_kittles 6y agowhoa. i never thought about that. do you just feel better reading? im curious how it could actually be working. maybe its rotating which rods and cones are getting hit more and so your eye is getting a more continuous signal somehow
- com2kid 6y agoI liken it to film grain. Very light film grain makes videos easier to watch, one of the early complaints of all digital cinemas was that they were too "crisp". None of the CRT presets are what I particularly like, but I've got it customized to an extent that IMHO it is super easy on the eyes.
