> why cant it be simulated?
You mean you can't tell after seeing one firsthand?
1. When a vector screen shows black, nothing is being drawn there. There is no backlight!
With raster displays, there is ALWAYS a backlight. They've got more control over it in the last few years, but until a black part of the picture is "completely off", it can't be done.
2. Due to the directed beams in a vector monitor, the result sometimes can be "blinding". I can't say a TV or monitor has ever been bright enough to hurt my eyes. So the contrast ratio needs to be huge - and NOT with fancy fake statistician numbers as many do.
The remaining effects (glow, motion blur, etc.) can all be simulated much like they are in MAME.
I'd love to have someone prove me wrong though.
