It would look so cool if they used an outer glow effect on the Eggcrate font, so it would look something like this:
That's the problem I have with simulating eggcrate and vane displays on computer screens. They often look very fake.
The pedant in me would say that it's because they don't attempt to actually simulate the displays. They just use an eggcrate-like/vane-like font when rendering text and those, particularly the vane-like fonts, don't actually match the way an actual display of that type would look. (That said, The Price Is Right has done a darn good job with the one-bid displays and the Any Number board of recreating the shapes and positioning of the old displays.)
At a minimum, you'd think someone would have attempted a simulated eggcrate display that does a little bit more to simulate the haloing effects and color temperature of an incandescent bulb than anything I've seen. You only really need to draw one bulb and repeat it as necessary.
