You can't use a garbage AV to HDMI converter on original hardware going to a flat panel tv and then say that emulation is the exact same thing as original hardware. That crappy converter is adding input lag and giving your TV a hard time in a million different ways. Your OG hardware NES setup pic @4:22 is a terrible setup.
That being said some emulator and emulation devices are amazing and just as good as original hardware. Analogue branded devices, Retro AVS, Mister, and some PC Emulators running to a CRT are fantastic.
The Tink 4K has a million settings that really let you dial in the look of the scanlines. Trying to see how it looks online is pointless. You need to see it in person. The same can be said for a good CRT. Tink 4K is in no way a needed device but a quality scaler like a $133 or 115 Euro OSSC absolutely is needed. You can run cables from multiple consoles to it and if you have 5 or more systems then it's roughly $26 per system to have a much better experience than a crappy $20 "HDMI Converter".
People who play on cheap $50 clone consoles, Phones, and 20,000-games-in-one devices are getting a much worse experience than even the simplest emulator on a PC from a decade ago. And people that claim that those devices are the same as OG hardware are just as willfully ignorant as the people who claim you NEED a Tink 4K to have a good experience.
Anyway, S-Video cables + a 13 inch CRT will run you $35 and be 90% as good as any other expensive setup.
