Even over just composite, it looks shockingly good when downscaled to 480i - color bleed is minimal and detail clarity isn’t an issue when you’re watching animation. Photos don’t really do it justice since it captures only half the frame, but try it yourself sometime if you still have an stands definition DVD player, a nice CRT, and some cartoons on DVD - you’ll likely be pleasantly surprised!

yeah i have to agree

there's something very very charming about having an 80s colour tv in the corner. i miss being able to turn my head 45 degrees away from the computer and see something framed in a friendly object rather than a thin black rectangle. and unlike a modern giant flat panel it doesn't dominate the room. you can ignore that mother fucker when you want to

weirdly composite is easier on the eyes than RGB when you get to big tube sizes (like 28"). i think its down to some modern cartoons having linework so thin that they scale down to like 1 pixel tall in SD. so you need the composite blur or interlace flicker gets way too obvious. but that might just be me sitting too close

very good. i just got an Extron VSC 500 to do just this (best way i could think of to get PC-based media into an old Panasonic broadcast monitor). one other possibility was the last Roku model that had composite input but i don't like the idea of relying on outdated proprietary apps and still having to maintain a Plex installation.

anyway i'm quite looking forward to getting it set up. i started rewatching Nadia (1990) this week, so wish i had the CRT in place already.
