Effect

Crt Screen

Recreate CRT scanlines, curvature and phosphor glow.

Cathode-ray tubes painted pictures with a steered electron beam, line by line, onto phosphor. Up close you saw scanlines, mask patterns and a soft glow as bright areas bloomed in the glass. Arcade cabinets, broadcast monitors and living-room sets all shared that physics.

Digital CRT looks are nostalgia with a machine underneath. Curvature, scanlines and phosphor glow signal television and early games rather than tape wear alone.
