I assume some people will approach this as stupidly as I did.
I wanted to see something and clicked on the 120Hz version not knowing what my laptop display actually is and while I am not photosensitive this was quite uncomfortable. Thinking I don't understand what that is supposed to be I clicked on the 480Hz to see if that is better/different and that was even worse. As a hail mary I clicked on the 240Hz and well that really made sense and was actually comfortable to look at.
So if you are like me and didn't really read through the text, this will only work for you if you select the Hz that matches your display ( which kinda is the whole point of why they are doing that ). If it looks bad you clicked the wrong link
I wish Shadertoy had an easier way to let me change framerate. If you click 480Hz on a 120Hz display, it flickers at an awful 15Hz instead of 60Hz; so you don't want to simulate a 15Hz CRT -- not comfortable.
Retroarch now has this CRT simulator and it will automatically keep it at 60Hz by its default settings; so it's more foolproof in Retroarch than in Shadertoy.
