Windows 7 - Make LCD picture turn into CRT style for old movies showings

[Thorham]

its called getting crt tv for like few bucks never ceases maze me why people
go to so much trouble to emulate someting when real things always better

Indeed, and now they have to get a bulky CRT somewhere and they have to put it somewhere. Highly annoying when one doesn't want to bother with CRTs anymore.

Furthermore, if you already have everything set up, then all you need is some video player with the right filters (may actually be a bit of a problem).

Off-topic:

Windows is not usable on a CRT because 1024x768 looks terrible AND Windows is unusable with less than that resolution.

Windows XP looks fine on my 17 inch CRT and is perfectly usable at 1024x768 (which is what I use), so this is clearly subjective. Also, my CRT can display up to 1600x1200 (which is ridiculous for a 17 inch monitor).

And no, I'm not a CRT freak. CRTs offer certain functions that flat panels don't offer yet (sadly). I use mine in a dual view setup with a full HD panel, and a KVM switch so I can use the CRT for my A1200 using a VGA adapter (672x562 94 hertz interlaced).

SD definition TVs via S-video output is probably what they meant.

Perhaps, in which case I bang my head

Also Amige PAL display relies on 4:3, PC monitors are 5:4 aspect ratio pixels. Hence HD is 1080p and PC is 1920x1200. PITA

Really? Perhaps that's why I get side bars (but not top and bottom) on my VGA CRT when using my A1200. As for HD, my Geforce FX 5500 does 1920x1080 properly, thank goodness (I hate flat panel scaling).
