CRT Monitor Effect

About this plugin

CRT Monitor Effect turns flat designs into glowing cathode-ray relics.Unlike overlay-only filters, this plugin bakes real barrel distortion directly into your image pixels — giving you the genuine bulging fish-eye curve of an old tube screen, dialable from a subtle bow to an extreme fish-eye.Stack on the rest of the retro stack:Scanlines — adjustable density and opacityChromatic aberration — RGB channel split for that analog color fringePhosphor dot grid — visible sub-pixel RGB textureVignette & screen glare — corner falloff and a reflective highlightMonitor bezel — a beveled frame with depth shadow to complete the hardwareStart from a preset — Arcade, Retro TV, Terminal, or Mild — then fine-tune every parameter with live sliders. Works on any frame, image, or rectangle. Non-destructive layers are grouped and named so you can tweak or remove anything after the fact.
