Yes, esp. monochrome CRTs can be actually too sharp. (E.g., I've a Sharp MZ-80, which I prefer to run with somewhat reduced focus.) Something I found out lately, on LCD, you really have to model pixel "softness" in the time domain. See for example here: https://masswerk.at/pet/?prg=back2pet&screen=green&persistence=long&rom=4&ram=32k&autorun=true&sound=true https://masswerk.at/pet/?prg=back2pet&screen=green&persisten... (This is a demo by shiru8bit, "Back to the PET", from last year, running in a "hot" demo mode with longer persistence, which is a bit reminiscent of a well known video showing this demo in a dark room with video and audio in overdrive. The problem with this is that persistence is still modelled linearly, instead of sinusoidally as it ought to be, for economic reasons, since it's running in a web browser.) There's a shortcut to this and other recent demos: https://masswerk.at/pet/?demos https://masswerk.at/pet/?demos
