Yes, there is demand for continuous development and improvement for CRT-Consumer-1w-NTSC-XL.
Here is another composite secret on these 2 screenshots.
Raw rgb, dithering is pretty clear and obvious
A gray scale representation, look how dithering is almost gone invisible, how close dithered pixels are. Not by luck, that’s the artist’s brilliance there. This is our luma representation in a composite signal. Add some bluriness to this due to luma filters, add the colors of chroma on top, that is more like drawing with a crayon or something due to low bandwidth and you got dithering blend.
In conclusion, when Luma dithered pixels difference is large it won’t be able to blend. When in S-Video the signal evades some Composite Luma filters as it is clean already so it stays sharper, not blending that easily as in composite.

Some small changes and added reflection from crt-cyclon

Even better with the reflection - thank you so much.
Will there ever be a fully modular reflection shader that can easily be appended / prepended to any shader / preset?
Probably hard to implement without messing scanlines etc.
Works better on integer-overscale, “mask” aligns better and creates a more convincing effect.
Thanks for the clarification and for your work - in fact using integer scale max is even better - great work and thanks
