I like this terminal and have used it frequently, but it should be noted that it is a fantasy representation of how these old displays actually looked. You may be able to tone down a lot of the settings but you still wont be able to achieve that similar of a look to original displays. The monochrome displays of the time had quite clear quality. I have an Apple ii monitor from the early 80s on my desk, and the similarities are more akin to an exaggerated caricature of a celebrity. But maybe my experience doesn't go far back enough

I don't know about that. If you adjusted the "settings" of CRTs, some of the effects in Cool Retro Term would be achievable.

For those unfamiliar with CRTs, you could adjust the value of some components. These adjustments could affect things like the beam brightness, sharpness of the picture, horizontal and vertical synchronization, and geometry of the screen. Typically this was done via user accessible knobs on the front or back of the monitor, though some were only accessible after opening the case. Adjusting these knobs is better described as calibration, rather than changing settings, since you were adjusting the physical properties of components that directly altered analog signals.
