How did you take screenshots from a monitor? With a camera?

Usually you just copy the backbuffer, you don’t need a screen to do it.

Nintendo power had tons of images taken directly from photos of CRT‘s. Some of them may have used your Method, but many of them (Especially contests) Specifically asked readers to send in photos to show whether they’ve done certain things.

You can photograph a TV but making a screenshot was usually done by blitting the backbuffer somewhere.

Did screenshots taken with the method you mentioned have bloom, Like you would see from an image taken from a CRT? I associate bloom in screenshots from being directly Photographed from the CRT.
