VHS is a crappy format to be honest... It can only be for the nostalgia value there.
However for retro gaming (anything up to and including PlayStation 1/N64) - they look and play best on a 4:3 CRT television and always will. They were made for them, and they look terrible on high-resolution screens. There's no way around that. I have dreams of one day having a gaming nostalgia room and it will 100% have a couple of CRT tellys in it
