    As others have mentioned, there are two schools of thought.

    Crisp 4K rendering, no jagged lines, higher details added in textures, etc

    Or emulating the look of a CRT by using high density displays to create the same look.

      I’m a bit in both worlds. I think that the split is at HD games. Up to SNES a CRT really makes things look as they were designed, but once you reach 3D games the low rez really feels like a limitation game designers had to deal with.
