Retro games really did look better on a CRT

It's not only 2D games. Super Mario 64 looks terrible on a modern panel imo, and it still looks great on a CRT, as if the CRT has some kind of texture filtering lol. Not only the jagged edges are gone, but the textures look smoother too. You don't want to see low res textures in perfect contrast, brightness and sharpness lol.
Most n64 emulators make the games run at a higher res by default, which makes all the low poly models and low res textures easier to see. If you run them at their original target resolution, they look MUCH better.
Huh I played it on a LCD and thought it was terrible. Like how did anyone play this?
How? There wasn't anything better, it was the pinnacle at the time.
Uh CRT. The whole discussion is about how it displays better on CRT.
