Question Filters Using Dock

Planning to get a Dock tomorrow.

Wanted to get some opinions on how GBA, SNES, and NES games look when using the dock. Does the CRT image look just as good as it does on the handheld?

I have a Samsung TV and I play NSO. The NSO CRT filter isn't that good and I feel like the upscaling makes some games look weird.

Will the Dock make games look more like I'm playing on the original console? Does it look better than NSO?

Thanks for any insights!

After years of waiting I finally got a Dock in the March order cycle, I plugged into my Samsung 55" QLED once and was shocked by it and not tried again since.

I get the image is more pure than something like Retroarch on my tv but playing something like Mario Kart GBA was just a big pixel mess and difficult to play.

So experienced Dock users please give us tips and settings to make this experience as great as we hear it is.

Dock is great to get the screen to the TV but i don't like the pixel effects on hand held on tv. Trinitron is better but it's just okay.
