Modern displays are better at this than those CRTs, you're playing back the wrong thing the wrong way. i.e. framerate conversion, badly streamed video or it's trying to sync to an external clock like your audio output.

I happen to have a 36 inch Trinitron in my garage. It stays there because moving it is impossible.

Yes, the cylindrically-curved screen is distinctively Trinitron. It’s easy to spot one at-a-glance, whereas the later fully-flat models look much more like those from other brands.

This motion clarity is a big reason why CRTs are still the best way to play retro side-scrolling games.
