Description
When pursuing the Y2K aesthetics, you will likely stumble upon timeless and legendary stuff. This is how things work: trends are short-lived, and they come and go, but some visuals are the statement of the real retro legacy. It's glitch, pixels, and the shining star of old monitor distortion: the CRT graphics.
CRTs were the standard technology for screens before the advent of LCD and LED displays. They were in use for almost four decades, transforming from primitive to complex and futuristic forms. So what we've done with the CRT Machine is actually allowed any creator to drown in tech nostalgia and create authentic CRT TV visuals from the 1960s and late 1990s.
It's a complete toolbox built around an old-school glitch effect and completed with multiple CRT features: scan lines, pixelation, phosphor glow, and low resolution. Basically, everything you treated as annoying mismatches long ago is now powerful visual perks. For your convenience, we've shaped them into three CRT patterns and distorted glitch overlays. The famous CRT palette comes in 12 colors: 6 duotone and 6 monochrome solutions. With such a variety of creative choices, we enabled you to switch between the decades of tech retro and tweak the image as much as you need to create the one for rave posters, music album covers, apparel, video games, etc.
