The effects are great! However, these feel like old-old terminals, as in terminals from 80s after decades of use. Good quality phosphor monitors are a lot crisp

- gtirloni 3y agoYou can disable the effects individually to renew your virtual monitor.
- aktuel 3y agoNot just disable also adjust.
- cbm-vic-20 3y agoCan confirm. Source: the gently used VT420 on my desk that is hooked up to a RPi for retro-vibe goodness. Text is crisp and clear, no "smearing" like in the screenshots. (Can also confirm that heavily used terminals definitely show degradation.)
- erosenbe0 3y agoVT420 must have had a good crt design. They'd run 18 hours a day as catalog terminals in university libraries with no problems. I'm sure most made 5 years with only minor brightness or contrast loss. Good solution with minimal service required--just cleaning any debris from the keyboard. Basically plug and play to the serial multiplexer.
