🧵 I think current screens just don't have the ability to properly represent neon lights

Neither the fade to white of film/modern tonemappers nor the raw saturation of old CG images manage to reproduce the characteristic saturated intensity of neon core highlights. Neon signs aren't fucking white irl.

And this kids is why you don't go blind whenever someone's welding on TV.

If I was making a scene where it was important the neon read as actually glowing saturated I'd de-emphasis the range of the surrounding pushing it darker and use psychovisual trickery to make it read as it glows, like have it 'glow dark' against dark elements along the edges to let the contrast read as the surface emanating the bright tint despite having the same or lower brightness value.
This is a photoshop mockup of what I'd try.

I knew there where some blithering idiots in this site but shit man you got me on this one. Great bait mate or at least I fucking hope so.
