Wait, is that stretched to 16:9? I may have to rescind my upvote.

But also... cool.

I found an old TV on Craigslist for $10 for my Genesis.

Damn, here I am sitting in front of a gaming PC with 4k monitors and I am legitimately jealous of your setup right now. Emulated 8 bit and 16 bit games look like crap on modern screens thanks to the upscaling and what not. TIL I need to check the Craigslist more often.

Or get an upscaler for retro consoles.

Not those cheap HDMI adapters, but like a retrotink or a GBS-Control. They can still look good on LCD.

Man, that's a museum piece at this point. It's what, mid-80s? If it looks bright, stable and clean without any maintenance that's... increasingly rare.
