I have an old school boob tube tv in my room, currently with a firestick running through a converter. It’s fine i guess, but i want something else because 1, the aspect ratio is off since it expects to be hooked up to a flatscreen, and 2 the privacy problem of running something from amazon. Is there something that could work here?

      This was actually new to me that the recent models have it, I haven’t tried the instructions from this blog, but it seems about right. I only used the original Pi and gave some life to spare CRT TVs like 10 years ago.

        I’m curious what retropie would look like on a CRT. Would it need the overlays still or look like the original?

          Imagine if the CRT filter on an actual CRT turns it into HD
