very cool ! On my dell XPS13 (Windows) the high DPI scaling makes the page display "please rotate your device back to portrait mode" . If I zoom out a few steps (ctrl-minus in the browser), it loads fine.

#86To me, the CRT effect looks like an early LCD (TFT panel) one. CRT monitors picture did not look like made of dots from what I can remember (maybe not for all monitors). Except maybe the Trinitron ones. Great site, thanks for nostalgia!
you're probably right and I've actually had someone tell me that no monitor during the XP era would've been a CRT one haha so the whole things a bit off but I think people can let it slide
As a former Windows XP user: this is amazingly detailed and well done! The CRT effect is spot on for me.

I grew up in Bulgaria and when Windows XP was released almost everyone had a CRT monitor. As a former Windows XP user: this is amazingly detailed and well done! The CRT effect is spot on for me.

> no monitor during the XP era would've been a CRT one haha Well, not really, and it depended highly on the place of work/study and country/state. For example, my University replaced the CRT ones with LCDs only in 2005-06 (they've used XP in computer rooms for quite a long time, skipping Vista and 8). I myself used the CRT monitor with winXP until the late 2004.
