I have a pro grade CRT and a few others, including an amber relic from the early days.
The N64 could output a composite signal, which looks great on the high end CRT. A NES can output composite, Genesis, SNES, all could. Pro CRT displays have great circuits and fine pitch tubes. SD content looks amazing.
The consumer grade sets had composite and better inputs growing more common in the late 80's, early 90's. They look good.
It was fun to get pro gear and look at what we all could have been watching! I had a consumer set that I tuned to peak capability and the tube being normal pitch was it's only real limitation. Really, it means 80 column text was hard. Gaming looked very good.
The NES had its modulator external to the unit. It did RF right at the TV for best performance. One could get composite right out of the system and that is what my kids gamed on.
Using high end gear with retro computing and gaming is a great experience! Recommended.
