Reshade is a great framework for injecting effects to any DX9/DX10/DX11/OGL game or application out there, even with an on-screen GUI to edit parameters in realtime. CRT is just one of the many filters provided, and as the effects are all distributed in source code, so the door is open to anyone with skills to develop and distribute new effects. I use it to add CRT effect to old-school style games that don't provide proper filtering (like those produced with YoYo's GameMaker Studio), some emulators, Tilengine... and to add SMAA anti-aliasing for games that do not provide FSAA themselves.
Contrast ratio is another thing. I regularly attend retro events in Barcelona, and I always get amazed at how eye candy an Amstrad-CPC game looks in an original color monitor, compared to showing it on a modern LCD. It has vibrant bright colors and pixels get nicely softened, it must be experienced first hand.
