Those of us born in the 60s also recall many variations of CRT terminals.

I had a lot of fun with Tektronix 4010 series storage-tube CRT terminals.

In real life they had crisp lines and rarely any perceivable flicker (depended how far you pushed the ray trace line length)

You could drive them (in my experience at least) with a PDP-11, an Apple ][, a BBC micro, or a transputer breadboard.
