As an Epileptic, I’ve been very outspoken about my opinions on the increased use of strobe lighting effects in American cartoons. Yet people have accused me of being a hypocrite: why do I continue to love Pokémon? My response often surprises people. That, in my personal opinion, morally speaking, the animators were not responsible for what happened. That Porygon was, in fact, innocent.
Hmm, I bet it has more to do with brightness and contrast more than anything else. So, in that respect, CRTs are significantly dimmer than modern LCDs. Additionally, CRTs were just much smaller than most people’s living room TVs these days, so it would take up a much smaller portion of somebody’s field of view. It’s an interesting question though.
I wonder if different screen technology at the time made it worse (CRT then, vs LCD now)?
