I think the best way to put it is that currently, despite their drawbacks, BFI/Display strobing is about as close as we can currently get, but it's not perfect.

I think the best way to put it is that currently, despite their drawbacks, BFI/Display strobing is about as close as we can currently get, but it's not perfect. They both come with drawbacks. Especially with the BFI im using (which is built into retroarch.) It gets you really close, but not all the way to the motion clarity of a CRT. It's not at the point yet where I would remove my CRT's from my desk, but another few years of brightness increases and resolution increases in <27" and under OLED's, and I could be almost convinced to finally retire them. Funnily enough VR headsets might be some of the best displays for retro due to their ability to do really good low persistance strobing without something called crosstalk. Another drawback I forgot to mention is that if you couldnt perhaps tolerate 60hz on a CRT, you may find the same with BFI/strobing, so again, it rules it out for a lot of people.
