A lot of console and arcade games up through roughly the first Playstation arguably look better on a CRT than with any amount of upscaling or smoothing or whatever, even without factoring in nostalgia.
But of course we have shaders for that, now, that can get one pretty damn close and take up zero extra space in one's house.
What is your point? As I said that overpriced think is NOT CRT and I actually think the hype about is not justified. I do not own a CRT but I think they would cause eye strain and modern up-scaling and smoothing and all that stuff makes games look objectively better.
