For about a year, Jam2go has been uploading videos showing and explaining the real-time effects he's been using in his games, like that 00s digital camera look. That's interspersed with silly tangents like figuring out exactly where popular songs take place.

I remember this one! Great video, and very cool effect too.

I suppose he explains it in the video, I don't recall, but with regards to the title, these are CRT televisions, they don't have pixels.

They shoot an electron beam in horizontal sweeping lines across a mask behind the glass to achieve their image. Way more analogue than pixels.

But yeah, this video is a wonder to behold, do check it out :-)

They absolutely have pixels. They aren’t directly addressable but they exist.

[–] master5o1 2 points 2 months ago

They're kinda addressable in that the electron beam scans across a line, and every through each line, with a pulse activating the (iirc phosphor) at the pixel for the desired colour.
