We're getting awfully close to recreating CRT qualities with modern display panels. A curved 4:3 1000Hz OLED panel behind glass, and an integrated RetroTink 4K with G-Sync Pulsar support would do it. Then add in a simulated degauss effect and electrical whine and buzzing sounds for fun.
still can't play duck hunt on it though.
Yes you can, see https://neslcdmod.com/
It basically mods the rom to allow for a bit more latency when checking the hit targets
>1000 Hz
This sounds like a brute force solution over just having the display controller read the image as it is being sent and emulating the phosphors.
A 1000 Hz panel does not imply that the computer has to send 1000 frames per second.
Whoops, I misremembered. G-Sync Pulsar works with a 360Hz panel, claims perceived motion clarity comparable to 1000Hz+.
Why curved? We didn't like the CRT curvature back then and manufacturers struggled to make them as flat as possible, finally reaching "virtually flat" screens towards the end of the CRT era. I have one right here on my desk, a Sony Multiscan E200.
