Those low def masters looked OK at the time because the displays of the time were also blurrier. Now watching them on a fixed pixel display is horrible.

Oh don't get me wrong, me too! For Star Trek TNG I feel they did a good job - and you just try to ignore the imperfections!

Another idea I had was to simply zoom the frame out to a smaller window with MPC-HC's zoom hotkeys, to simulate the smaller size of a CRT. The less I see the more it leaves to the imagination?

It would be more enjoyable to have some weed and see how it is.

I don't have any weed, just some old CBD oil thats past its use by date. However it seems that taking my glasses off helps.

That's another thing -- optometrists want to prescribe me lenses with 20/20 vision and I feel like that's seeing the world in too much detail. If foreground and background are all in razor sharp focus it feels like information overload sometimes. Some movies are like that where they don't use any depth of field and every scene feels like it's very flat, 2 dimensional and overly detailed.

CBD + lion's mane + reddening niacin. Yep. I prefer 20/15 contact lenses, when you are young, it is still possible. Even I cannot do 20/13 and 20/10, alas.
