Interesting article on making LCDs look like fuzzy CRTs
genesim:
I am really really trying to understand this.
The Atari image is untrue to any image I have ever seen on at least 10+ Televisions that I have personally played on.
The lines of the sky on the left were absolutely there, while the "blurred" image is just an after effect that I never saw there.
While the intent may have been on the Atari(and I personally doubt this 99%) to blend the colors, IMHO it didn't happen on what was finally displayed...at least any truly perceptive way. So if my premise is true(and for me it is because I had nothing but crappy hotel TV's, black and white TV's, better TV's, small Tv's....), then shouldn't it be called for what it is...which is untrue to the original display?
Keeping the original display only is a choice that some people prefer..maybe most people(though Joe public is another story), but perhaps this guy isn't all wrong in that he like me is trying to find an answer for displaying all older games with the least compromise on current hardware...even if one understands that it will always be some degree of compromise.
Case in pont, Randy remember you or was it someone else that was talking about the settings in MAME that would give the desired results for the sensitivity for original spinners. I like the idea of this. First I am lazy, second I like consistency. It all comes down to just enjoying playing the games.

Corrected ...... most people tend to understand it, even as wrong as it may be, to say "mute point".

I think everyone should check out my posts today on that old other thread:

For old-timey 19" goodness, I think they look ---smurfin--- good. Still a tube - and remember OS screen shots are still only the final output signal, not the monitor's image itself - but I tell ya the images shown look exactly like it does in person.
