Tales of Phantasia (1995, Namco) - Super Famicom Sharp Pixels vs. SNES S-Video via Sony KV-27S42 Lots of dithering being utilized here that doesn't quite disappear, but adds loads of texture to the walls and floors.

Final Fantasy VI (1994, Square) - SNES Over the last few days I have seen these examples lifted from @ruuupu1 and shared across multiple websites without credit. If you happen see these anywhere, please credit them. This stuff is hard work.

<ブラウン管TVで観るドット絵　その40> SFC　FF6　セイレーン使用TV　KV-14AF1(14インチ) その25のアルキュミアと異なり議論の余地なく何も履いていないセイレーンさんですくっきりドットではモザイク画像のようでそれ程でもありませんが、ブラウン管ではモザイク感が無くなりかなり危険な印象に…

Demon's Crest (1994, Capcom) - SNES Sharp Pixels vs SNES Composite via Sony KV-13M51 Even my mind is boggled at the tricks Capcom's artists used to make this Demon's teeth more separated and defined on a CRT TV.

"Why do we tolerate this? 'Harassment', 'online bullying'. How are these any different from terrorism, from someone grabbing a gun and taking the lives of others?" RIP Near.

Final Fantasy IX (2000, Squaresoft) - PS1 Sharp Pixels vs. PS1 Composite via Sony KV-13M51 FF9 was always known for its more jagged appearance, even at release. A CRT isn't going to work miracles, but it still blends the 3D models and their textures with the backgrounds nicely!

Super Mario RPG (1996, Square) - SNES Sharp Pixels vs. SNES S-Video via Sony KV-27S42 Our last SMRPG comparison for a while! Couldn't move on without a look at the man himself! I've noticed this SNES model has issues with bleeding colors, even if I like its softer image.

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature (1999, Natsume) - PS1 Raw Polygons vs. PS1 Composite via Sony KV-13M51 I love the way Back to Nature's 2D and 3D assets blend together so well and dithering just vanishes on a CRT! What a great game.

Star Fox 64 (1997, Nintendo) - N64 Sharp Pixels vs. N64 S-Video via Sony PVM-20L2MD Thanks to those that suggested the new m64p release! Finally an emulator that can give us sharp examples that include the N64's native AA filter. This really shows how much the CRT cleans it up.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo) - N64 Nintendo Switch Online vs. N64 S-Video via Sony PVM-20L2MD Some people prefer the more high res model of Link, but I'm really not a fan of this upscaling that makes textures and backgrounds mismatch the 3D models.
