I know this is the exact opposite of what you want in a sense, but with a little fiddling you can make the highest definitions of TVs look pretty crappy and old with fancy emulator settings. I had a friend with so many scan line and fuzzy plugins and crt color abberation and flicker fakers installed, i swear it was basically the same thing visually

It's not just "worse" graphics. CRTs have little/no input lag, which is crucial for some older games like Punch-Out!.
