It’s something of a surprise, should you own a CRT TV to go with your retrocomputers, when you use it to view a film or a TV show. The resolution may be old-fashioned, but the colors jump out…
That was once a lot more true than nowadays since the software has ways to mitigate the degradation. Once you’ve gone to a display with true black like OLED, nothing no else compares honestly. They even make movie theater screens look bad. It’s not possible to have a projector give you true black. Better contrast sure, but not true black. There is a limit to contrast anyway since human eyes can only see so bright.
Unless you have an OLED TV.
Or plasma?
Do they even still make those? Probably stopped that before they stopped doing CRT…
But OLED can get burn in and degrade over time. This will too, but you can just replace the light bulb.

I’ve had my OLED since 2017. I use it for gaming. It’s perfectly fine still.
Projector bulbs ain’t cheap either. And the overall picture quality will still be crap despite the contrast.
