Unless the CRT has some issue (out of focus, or whatever) then graphics should look 99% the same as on an LCD, especially low res graphics that gets double scanned. Here is a photo i took some time ago from a CRT and a flat panel i have with the same software showing the same picture (with the picture at the top) - both monitors are of relatively high quality: https://i.imgur.com/xlsGRRw.png https://i.imgur.com/xlsGRRw.png In both images you can see the pixels clearly and that was in 640x480 (which doesn't get double scanned) for the CRT - they also pretty much look the same (the small color fringes are because of my awful phone camera, in person they are almost identical). Here is another one, same shitty camera (hence the glow) but at the top left and right side (where there isn't much glow) you can see how clear the pixels are - this is double scanned: https://i.imgur.com/10oa6xe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/10oa6xe.jpg The main difference between decent CRT monitors and flat panels is that with the CRT monitors you get to use a bunch of different resolutions without visual degradation from scaling. Also scanlines, but that depends on the CRT (more visible in larger CRTs with lower resolutions) and you get a somewhat similar effect with some flat panel monitors (especially larger ones). Beyond that when there isn't any scaling (i.e. both display the art pixels at 1:1 ratio) there will only be very minor differences. Anything else would be due to a faulty CRT (nowadays many are in bad condition due to their age) and not really inherent in the tech.
