NX CRT earns its place in the toolfarm library for its physically based approach: it models the analog signal chain, electron beam physics, and glass characteristics of vintage monitors rather than layering a static overlay, and runs across the Edit, Fusion, and Color pages.
NX CRT is a CRT simulation tool for DaVinci Resolve, designed for professional colorists and editors. Rather than a static overlay, it simulates the analog signal chain, electron beam physics, and glass characteristics of vintage monitors, and stays resolution-independent from 720p to 8K using diagonal-based scaling.
The effect covers physically based barrel distortion with adjustable radius, rounded corners, and edge falloff, per-channel beam scanlines whose RGB width varies by brightness, and classic phosphor mask patterns including Trinitron, Shadow Mask, Slot Mask, and VGA. Phosphor bloom, red-shifted halation, chromatic aberration, and YUV-based composite chroma bleed round out the analog look, alongside signal artifacts such as rolling hum bars, a visible refresh scanline, static noise, and brightness flicker.
Glass surface controls add Fresnel edge glow, environment reflections, specular highlights, internal ghosting, and tint, while vignette and brightness compensation offset scanline and mask loss. Aspect ratio presets, independent X/Y overscan, and optional transparent edges outside the screen area support compositing. It works across the Edit, Fusion, and Color pages in DaVinci Resolve.
NX CRT is best for professional colorists and editors adding an authentic CRT look in DaVinci Resolve.
NX CRT is completely free to download and use.
NX CRT is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19, 20, and 21. It requires DaVinci Resolve Studio, so the free edition of Resolve is not covered. The plugin also works across the Edit, Fusion, and Color pages, so you can apply the CRT simulation wherever it fits your workflow. If you are unsure which Resolve build you are running, check your version before installing, and refer to the developer's page for any additional setup details.
NX CRT runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and supports Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL modes, so it can use the GPU backend available on your platform. It requires DaVinci Resolve Studio on any of these systems and is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19, 20, and 21. For details on which GPU mode matches your hardware and driver setup, consult the developer's page before installing, since the right mode depends on your operating system and graphics hardware.
NX CRT works across the Edit, Fusion, and Color pages in DaVinci Resolve, so the CRT simulation can be applied in whichever page suits your project. The effect stays resolution-independent from 720p to 8K using diagonal-based scaling, keeping scanlines, masks, bloom, and bleed consistent regardless of the working resolution. Aspect ratio presets for Source, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1 handle automatic crop and letterboxing, so the CRT frame fits different projects without manual adjustment on each page.
NX CRT is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for current details before you download. Note that NX CRT requires DaVinci Resolve Studio to run, which is a separate product from the free edition of DaVinci Resolve. It is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19, 20, and 21 on macOS, Windows, and Linux, so confirm you have a supported Studio version installed before adding the plugin to your project.
