@Azurfel, thank you very much for this. Even after asking these types of questions seeking this level of clarity in the past, the responses seemed a bit vague to me so like I do in many situations, I just relied on trial and error and trusted what I was seeing with my eyes.
It is long overdue but this should be added to the official documentation of Sony Megatron Colour Video Monitor in my opinion.
No pressure but don’t be too shy about adding your azurfel mod to the repository including all of these, it’s current and other recommended improvements.
Thanks again. I appreciate anything that removes room for ambiguity, doubt and possible confusion to the end user.
Not to mention “CRT Resolution (TVL)”. That also skews brightness significantly.
By chance do you have data for Shadow (Dot) Mask? Also, can you add the “CRT Resolution (TVL)”, “Display’s resolution”, “Gamma” and “Saturation” used in your testing as those would have an effect on relative brightness as well?
I’m not sure if I asked you this before but what equipment might be good to acquire if I wanted to perform such measurements on my own?
Lastly, to stir the pot even more, the values on RTINGS might measure the actual peak Luminance of an LG WOLED display but when using Sony Megatron Colour Video Monitor or CRT-Guest-Advanced with 100% Mask Strength, the brightness assisting white subpixel isn’t used, thus limiting real-world/actual/effective Peak Luminance on such displays.
Another thing to mention is that the scale factor/window size used to render the content can also have a profound effect on effective, real-world brightness. Smaller scale factors/window sizes allow higher Peak and Paper White Luminance.
