Picture — beam tone & glow

Scanlines, bloom, and brightness — affects the moving beam. Ambient tints all dark areas; Phosphor bleed adds glow around bright text only. Burn-in needs time on screen.

Tube — shape, depth & housing

Curvature + tube mag/perspective shape the glass face. Bezel shadow = housing recess; bezel frame = plastic cabinet (CSS).

Powered-off tube glass — turn the screen off (power button) to preview these live.

Pick any image from your computer — it mirrors in the glass when the screen is off (downscaled and stored in this browser only).

Housing — plastic

Bezel style sets outer/inner proportions. Choco = bulky charcoal body + rubber lip. Seam line = hard miter where chamfer angles meet; corner gleam = soft catch-light.

Sticky notes

Pad peeks from the corner — drag onto bezel or glass. Low notes tuck off-screen; hover to peek.

Beam — jitter, noise & tape chaos

Per-line wobble and VHS-style warp. Profile settings stay active during warmup — only beam geometry expands.

Phosphor & glass (fixed on tube face)

Mask and glass stay on the glass during warmup/collapse — only the beam warps in power previews.

Phosphor realism (experimental — default off)

Subtle tube physics, each defaulting to a no-op. Dial one up to preview it on this profile.

Sync — hold & fringe

Vertical/horizontal roll and corner rainbow fringe. Profile hold/fringe stay active during warmup. (The real degauss pulse lives under Magnetic purity.)

Rainbow fringe

Static fringe by default. Turn on animation for a slow moving pulse.

Power on — warmup (beam only)

Picture zooms in from the centre (small → full frame). Phosphor mask & scan grille stay fixed on the glass. Use Play warmup or refresh to preview.

Power off — collapse (beam only)

Squash → thin line → dot → black. Tweak a group, then Play collapse to preview.

Timing

Overall length and how motion accelerates (not picture shape).

Vertical squash → horizontal band

Flattens the picture top-to-bottom into a stripe.

Horizontal pinch → thin line

Sides close in. Squash strength is the main “how thin at the end” control.

Beam mask → phosphor line

When the image is cut down to only the glowing beam (after squash).

Shake (optional)

Buzz during collapse — does not change how thin the tube gets.

Magnetic purity (tube defect)

Simulate a magnet/speaker sitting near the tube, then Degauss to watch the picture thunk, ripple and snap clean.

Degauss pulse — speed & strength

Lower duration = faster, more violent. Each slider scales one part of the pulse.

Defect strength

How bad the standing colour-purity blotch is before you degauss.
